Former
Playboy model Kendra — who'd found new fame with
Hugh Hefner on "The Girls Next Door" — had her marriage's fifth anniversary ruined by The ENQUIRER's scoop about claims that Hank had hooked up with a transsexual. Then, in a bombshell exclusive interview, transsexual mistress Ava Sabrina London came forward to tell her side of the story about the wild encounter.

According to Ava, the affair started just two months ago, when Baskett first made contact with her “I met Hank Baskett probably around the 22nd or 23rd of April this year,” the ravishing redhead told The ENQUIRER. “He contacted me through a video I had posted on YouTube, and we exchanged information.”

“I gave him the address to my house,” she added. “He came over. I wasn’t expecting for him to come at the time he did, and I had just gotten out of the pool with my girlfriend.” Dressed only in a bikini, London said that she answered the door to find the athlete — then starring with his wife in the "Kendra On Top" reality show — dressed in basketball shorts, sandals and sunglasses.

At first, Ava claimed, she had no idea that the man standing before her was a celebrity — and the former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver took precautions to hide his true identity. “Hank never identified himself by his real name,” she said. “But he used, I believe, it was 'Steve' as his name.”

Baskett certainly would have had his reasons for attempting anonymity. The father of two been married to Kendra since 2009. “Hank absolutely knew that I was a transsexual,” London claimed. “and he told me that I was the only transsexual he’s ever been with. He thought I was beautiful.”
In fact, it wasn’t long after their introduction, she said, that the couple became intimate behind closed doors. And although Baskett allegedly seemed nervous, Ava said the married man was the first to take his clothes off. “We quickly went to my bedroom where things got a little hot because he had already had taken off his clothes and he was erect.”

“I started giving him a handjob,” she continued, “and he was playing with my penis, ‘cause he was laying down and I was like, you know, above him, so that’s when I realized who he was.” Although she claimed the two did not have sexual intercourse, she said Baskett still was satisfied. “He put my penis close to his face and that’s when he, you know, he came really quickly,” she said.

“Hank and I gave each other handjobs,” Ava continued, “and he played with my breasts. And it didn’t really go that much further because he had already come.” Even more surprising, Ava claimed, Baskett then casually took a shower in her bathroom.

But their intimate meet-up wasn’t for free, according to London. The model alleges that Baskett enjoyed their fling so much, he gifted her about $500 for the 20-minute romp. “I got up and he took a shower,” Ava recalled. “And he met my girlfriend after that, shook her hand and he left.”

Hank later disputed Ava's story — acknowledging, “I messed up,” but insisting to
People magazine that
he was only trying to buy marijuana when he entered the apartment and saw Ava there. “I froze,” he said. “I didn’t engage in anything...I don’t know if it was a couple of seconds or 15 seconds, because all I was saying was get out, get out, get out.”

After the bombshell exclusive, Kendra bravely attempted to salvage her marriage. But, as The ENQUIRER revealed months before her tearful announcement, Kendra
found the strength to move on while performing in a Las Vegas play titled "Sex Tips for Straight Women From a Gay Man."
