As another insider shared, when she arrived at the emergency room, she was in a state of desperation, urgently requesting assistance and medical attention. Similarly, her rep confirmed that her now ex-husband, Baskett, has remained by her side at the hospital as she receives care from doctors and takes some rest.

Fans have already begun sending their supportive messages to Wilkinson, who previously admitted to being in a difficult state after the collapse of her marriage to Baskett and the end of her "Kendra on Top" reality television show.

"I went through a divorce and lost everything I knew, which was my TV show. I had a TV show every year until my divorce. Then my divorce happened, and all of a sudden, now I'm left with no marriage, I'm left with no show, I had to move into a little house. I didn't understand what was going on, and all of a sudden, I had to do some intense healing."

In case you missed it, Wilkinson and the former Minnesota Vikings player separated in 2018, with their divorce becoming official a year later. Meanwhile, her famous reality show ended in 2017, giving her a four-year period during which the model struggled to recognize herself without the spotlight. To that, she acknowledged:

"For years, I didn't have fame. I didn't have everything I knew for a long time. I didn't know who I was. I was so lost."

Thanks to the support of her children and engaging in "some serious healing" sessions, the former Playboy housemate discovered her passion for the real estate industry.
