Former Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson admits she’s been celibate since 2018 divorce from Hank Baskett

Kendra Wilkinson is ready to “have fun” again after six years of celibacy.

The former Playboy model, 38, said she felt so much shame over her status as a sex symbol that she abstained from sleeping with any men after her divorce from Hank Baskett in 2018.

“It’s been so long since I’ve had sex — it’s been so long that I’ve had any,” Wilkinson told People in an interview published Wednesday.

“Because I shamed myself on my sexuality too. Everyone sees me as a sex icon, so I shamed myself and I stayed away from anything sex. I almost became celibate,” she admitted.

Although Wilkinson said she doesn’t see marriage “in the cards” in her near future, she wants to “start to have fun” again soon.

She was married to Hank Baskett for nine years. Jonathan Leibson “It’s been so long since I’ve had sex — it’s been so long that I’ve had any,” Wilkinson said. kendrawilkinson/Instagram

“I can’t go back in time and rewire history, but I’m here to move forward in my life and upward,” she added. “And live a good life. That’s what I’m here for.”

The “Girls Next Door” alum said she’s also focused on maintaining a solid co-parenting relationship with Baskett, 41, with whom she shares her kids Hank Jr., 14, and Alijah Mary, 9.

“Right now, I’m focused on my kids, the love that they’re receiving from me and life, and raising them — and self-love,” she explained.

The former couple said “I do” at the Playboy mansion in 2009, and their relationship was spotlighted on her reality show, “Kendra On Top,” from 2012 to 2017.

They split in 2018 amid allegations Baskett cheated on her, however Wilkinson said she doesn’t hold any grudges.

“I am a lover. So if I love you, even as a human being, you don’t owe me anything, but I will love you through your problem,” she said.

“I know myself, I can forgive. And I want to see Hank do well in life. He’s working so hard — he’s putting so much effort into his business and being a great dad.

“What he did in my marriage doesn’t define him to me today. That’s not who he is to me today. Today I see him as an amazing co-parent, I see him as an amazing father. And I’m so blessed, so beyond blessed, to have him as a co-parent.”

The reality star-turned-realtor also addressed the mental health crisis she suffered last year while speaking to the outlet.

“I was dying of depression. I was hitting the end of my life, and I went into psychosis,” she recalled.

“I felt like I wasn’t strong enough to live anymore,” she said of the battle that left her hospitalized twice last year.

Page Six previously confirmed that Wilkinson took herself to the emergency room in September 2023 after suffering a panic attack.

“It was the lowest place I’ve ever been in my life. I felt like I had no future. I couldn’t see in front of my depression,” she said, noting she is now doing her part “to learn to work with it and accept it.”
