Kendra Wilkinson knows she’s not that girl anymore.
The Girls Next Door alum and Playboy founder Hugh Hefner’s former live-in girlfriend took to Instagram on Sunday, January 12, to defend her appearance amid social media criticism over her weight.
“Yes, I’ve gained weight. Yes, I’m aging. Yes, I’m not that girl I was before (Playboy girl) 🤣 but for once in a long time I feel good and mentally healthy,” Wilkinson, 39, wrote alongside a full-mirror selfie of her physique.
The mom-of-two, who shares son Hank IV, 15, and daughter Alijah, 10, with ex-husband Hank Baskett, added, “Kids are my everything. Feeling pretty balanced. Working out and cooking a lot more. Golf, work. No housekeeper or nanny.”
The Kendra Sells Hollywood star said she is happy with her appearance, though she admitted she will be keeping an eye on her alcohol consumption.
“For those of you hating on my new weight, 40 yr old face 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,” she wrote.
“Almost 40 is feeling amazing and yes to the people criticizing my alcohol intake…I hear you and that will be monitored better. Drinking too much is definitely drinking too much but you know what’s coming up in JUNE…. Shots. 😂. Love ya,” she wrote, referring to her 40th birthday on June 12.
In November, Wilkinson gushed about her kids, Hank IV and Alijah, while speaking exclusively to Us Weekly.
