14 DAY TRIAL // Yesterday, Kendra Wilkinson, one of Hugh Hefner’s three live-in girlfriends at the Playboy mansion, came clean with the media, shattering whatever illusion of bohemian life still remained. Oppositely, 35-year-old Bridget Marquardt, who left the house just the other week, paints an entirely different picture from that of her former mate.
Whereas Kendra said that she could no longer approve of legendary Hef’s lifestyle, revealing details of a too controlling environment, adding that life there was not like it was cracked up to be, Bridget says she will never stop loving the Playboy mogul, with him offering her assurance that she will always be welcome back.
“He’s so excited for me and happy for me. Hef says if I want to come back to the mansion and bring a date, that’s no problem,” Bridget tells People magazine. Moreover, she says Hefner is far from being resentful about her departure, having already told her that she should follow what her heart is telling her. “He’s just being really sweet about it. We have gotten closer than ever. I will love him forever, there’s no question.” Bridget says after seven years spent together in the house.
As for what it meant for her to pack up her stuff and leave, Bridget admits it was no easy task, given that she had spent there some of the most beautiful moments of her life. “I packed the final stuff from my room. I was standing in my room and it was totally empty. I was just thinking, ‘I can't believe this’.” the starlet explains. At least she knows nothing is definite, as she tells People that Hef made sure she did not see that as the end. “Hef's like, ‘You can always come back here. Come back to eat all your meals. Come here to spend the night if you need to’.” Bridget adds.
The 35-year-old blonde’s departure followed close after Holly Madison, now dating magician Criss Angel, and Kendra Wilkinson, engaged to NFL star Hank Baskett, also announced publicly that they would no longer be living under the same roof with Hugh Hefner.
