Kendra Wilkinson, age forty (40), a former Playboy model and television personality, has reiterated her position of disinterest in dating and has expressly requested that men cease extending invitations to her in that regard.
On September 4, 2024, Ms. Wilkinson addressed her three million (3,000,000) Instagram followers by publishing a photograph of herself accompanied by a written statement declaring: “I have no attraction to the dating world. I’m happily single. Men. Stop asking me. It’s a NO. HELL NO.”
Ms. Wilkinson, who shares two children—son Hank Baskett IV, age fifteen (15), and daughter Alijah, age eleven (11)—with her former spouse, Hank Baskett (age forty-three [43]), has consistently emphasized her contentment in remaining single since the dissolution of their marriage in 2018. The parties were married in 2009.
In her most recent social media post, she added: “Just saying hi. It’s been a great week and hope it is for you too!! Kids are thriving, I’m in 2 escrows and still single but happy single lol. Anyone looking into selling or buying around LA let me know. Love ya.”
Ms. Wilkinson first gained prominence as a featured cast member on the E! reality series The Girls Next Door, which chronicled her time as one of Hugh Hefner’s live-in companions. Following her divorce, she transitioned into a career in real estate, obtaining her license in 2020 and joining The Agency, operated by Mauricio Umansky. Her work in that field was the subject of the Discovery+ docuseries Kendra Sells Hollywood (2021–2023).
Over the past several months, Ms. Wilkinson has repeatedly reiterated her position that she is “happily single,” citing her professional endeavors and family responsibilities as her primary focus. In July 2024, she stated: “I don’t have interest in men at the moment. Just work. Thank you for supporting my business.” Similarly, during a March 2024 interview with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, she described her years of marriage as “the happiest days of my entire life.”
In a public statement, Ms. Kendra Wilkinson reflected upon the conclusion of her marriage, characterizing the period following its dissolution as profoundly difficult, stating: “When those days came to an end, I crumbled so hard, and it almost killed me.”
Ms. Wilkinson elaborated that she departed the Playboy Mansion at the age of twenty-three (23), at which time she became pregnant, entered into marriage with Mr. Hank Baskett, and commenced her role as a wife and mother. She described this chapter of her life as the “golden years,” emphasizing that her transition from the Playboy Mansion to family life was both timely and intentional.
According to her account, Ms. Wilkinson regarded her departure from the Mansion as the product of readiness and desire for stability, stating that she had become disinterested in the prior lifestyle and had consciously sought the life of a parent engaged in her children’s upbringing, noting: “My kids go to a great school. I’m a soccer mom. I’m a softball mom. I’m a basketball mom.”
She attributed her subsequent marriage and family life to deliberate intention and manifestation, explaining: “I manifested it, and it came to me, and I met the perfect man, the man of my dreams.”
Despite the dissolution of her marriage, Ms. Wilkinson expressed ongoing respect for her former spouse, affirming: “Even though we’re divorced, he’s the father of my kids and he’s the most amazing father to my kids, and I know I chose right with him.”#newsafro_
