Before he popped the question to Kendra Wilkinson on Nov. 1, Philadelphia Eagle Hank Baskett wanted to make sure her ex, Hugh Hefner, was cool.

"Hef is like a father to her so he's going to be the one to give her away," Baskett told a local ABC affiliate in Philadelphia. "That's why I wanted his blessings and her mom's blessing."

Even though he's only been with Wilkinson for nine months, he said he knew she was the one.

"Kendra has one of the biggest hearts and that's one of the things that really drew me to her," said Baskett, who plans to get hitched on June 27, 2009, at the Playboy mansion.

What else do they have in common?

"Both of us like to stay home and wear sweats than go out and party. She's really down to Earth that's what drew us to each other," he said. "Ever since I met her, this is the happiest I've ever been in my life. And every day she does something else that makes me fall in love with her."
