Hugh Hefner's girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson says their relationship is "changing".

The 23 year old - who lives with Hugh, 82, and his other girlfriends Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt in the Playboy mansion in Los Angeles - stopped short of denying reports their romance is on the brink of collapse, only saying she found the rumours "sad".

Kendra said: "There are lot of changes going on... people are going through changes. There's a lot of rumours about me moving on, Holly moving on, it's really sad.

"I mean, it's only sad because Hef has to deal with it, and Hef gets really emotional because he really loves us. He is definitely a softie, so it's really sad seeing him go through this stuff."

Kendra was recently romantically linked to American football player Hank Baskett, but denied rumours they were engaged.

She refused to be drawn on Hugh's thoughts about her new relationship, insisting he is not concerned.

She added to Us Weekly magazine: "He keeps it cool, and he has a lot of girlfriends around now to keep him happy."

It was recently claimed all Hugh's relationships are on the rocks, after his main partner Holly was spotted getting close to magician Criss Angel.

Meanwhile, Kendra was seen passionately kissing celebrity chef Joe Francis during a night out in Miami.

Joe said: "If you were Kendra and you looked at the Playboy stock price lately [which closed at $3.94 yesterday, down from $12 a year ago], wouldn't you think about upgrading, too?"
