Wilkinson recently opened up on Instagram about being ‘happy, healthy and at peace in life’ and joked that she’s ready to ‘meet the love of her life’ – but who is the father of her 2 children?

American TV personality Kendra Wilkinson is ageing gracefully by putting her health first – and she’s not afraid to clap back at any haters who criticise her appearance.

“Yes, I’ve gained weight. Yes, I’m ageing,” the reality star-turned-realtor wrote on Instagram. “Yes, I’m not that girl I was before (Playboy girl), but for once in a long time I feel good and mentally healthy.”

She continued: “Kids are my everything. Feeling pretty balanced. Working out and cooking a lot more. Golf, work. No housekeeper or nanny.”

She went on to address those who have been taking stabs at her “new weight” and her “40-year-old face”, reassuring them to “Please know that I’m happy, healthy and at peace in life finally. Leave me alone and respect that I’m where I actually want to be finally all together.”

The 39-year-old is best known for being one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends in the early 2000s, and starring in an E! series about life at the Playboy mansion, The Girls Next Door. “Almost 40 is feeling amazing and yes, to the people criticising my alcohol intake … I hear you and that will be monitored better,” she added.

In a different post she shared earlier this month, she said that she had some goals for the year ahead, including the possibility for her to “meet the love of my life lol”.

Wilkinson was previously married to Hank Baskett. Here’s what we know about her ex and their relationship.
