Kendra Wilkinson explains why she's on latest Playboy cover after announcing she wouldn't pose again

After announcing she wouldn't pose for Playboy again, Kendra Wilkinson shocked and confused fans after being featured on the cover of the men's magazine's December issue.

So why is she on the latest cover of Playboy?

The reality star set the record straight on her blog Tuesday, telling fans that the cover photo was from an old shoot.

"I'm flattered to be on the cover again and as you all know Playboy has a very special place in my heart! I just wanted you guys to know I didn't recently pose."

On the season premiere of her E! reality show "Kendra," the 25-year-old was shown posing for a racy test shoot while wearing a green bra, black panties and black thigh-high boots.

In the episode, Wilkinson struggles with the decision of whether to pose for the magazine, run by ex-boyfriend and media mogul Hugh Hefner, again.

"I can still be sexy and have fun and be a sexy mom and not pose nude," she said to husband NFL athlete Hank Baskett, with whom she has an 11-month-old son with. "Maybe Playboy is the answer. I need to get back to being me again. The real Kendra, the crazy, free spirit."

However, the former "Girls Next Door" star recently told E! Online that she had a change of heart about posing after having a heart-to-heart with Baskett.

"He actually sat down with me and he went over the reasons of doing it," she todl E!. "I wanted to do Playboy for the wrong reasons."
