The 39-year-old TV star - who has Hank, 15, and Alijah, ten, with her ex-husband - has taken to social media to rubbish the suggestion that she's "still holding on to [her] ex". Kendra - who was married to Hank between 2009 and 2018 - wrote on Instagram: "I just got a comment basically saying I'm not the same, I come across sad, still holding on to my ex. I just want to say that….yes I have changed. Yes I've been depressed as I've stated in almost every interview I've been doing and no I'm not holding onto my ex!! I'm simply giving him respect he deserves being an amazing co parent.

Kendra continued: "Listen, interviews are really hard for me to do now a days because when they ask I have to answer and what do you think that will be bringing up every single time???? Yes, Playboy. "I've tried for years to avoid going backwards but people still have a hunger for it i guess. "My world lately has actually been fun and exciting. Surrounded by amazing friends and my 2 kids. Dancing and getting out checking out hot guys, laughing, golfing, closing deals, cooking tacos, watching kids sports n more. "I've been through so much and I'm always trying to remain positive and I've said numerous times how grateful i am for my past and how i wish everyone well.

The TV personality, 39 - who recently admitted she tried a 'weight-loss shot' after trolls criticized her body - penned a lengthy message to her followers while reflecting on the ways she has 'changed.' The star was married to Hank Baskett from 2009 until she filed for divorce in 2018 - and the former couple share kids Hank IV, 15, and Alijah, 10. She was also one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends until she moved out of the Playboy Mansion at age 23. 'I just got a comment basically saying I'm not the same, I come across sad, still holding on to my ex,' Kendra began. 'I just want to say that….yes I have changed. 'Yes I've been depressed as I've stated in almost every interview I've been doing and no I'm not holding onto my ex!! I'm simply giving him respect he deserves being an amazing co parent.' Wilkinson then explained that interviews are not easy for her due to the topic of her Playboy days being brought up 'every single time.' The mom-of-two added, 'I've tried for years to avoid going backwards but people still have a hunger for it i guess.' On a positive note, Kendra told her fans that her life 'has actually been fun and exciting. 'Surrounded by amazing friends and my 2 kids. Dancing and getting out checking out hot guys, laughing, golfing, closing deals, cooking tacos, watching kids sports n more.' The reality star concluded her message by typing, 'I've been through so much and I'm always trying to remain positive and I've said numerous times how grateful i am for my past and how i wish everyone well.' Last year, the Playboy vet opened up about her struggles with mental health and told People that she had been 'dying of depression.' 'I was hitting the end of my life, and I went into psychosis. I felt like I wasn't strong enough to live anymore,' she expressed, before later adding, 'Playboy really messed my whole life up.' In September 2023, Kendra suffered from a panic attack which resulted in the star reaching out to her ex-husband Hank to take her to the hospital. 'To accept help that day and for Hank to drive me to the hospital was a huge day in both of our lives. It was a big day for my family and kids.' Last year, the Playboy vet opened up about her struggles with mental health and told People that she had been 'dying of depression'; seen in 2008 in L.A. Wilkinson attributed to therapy to her helping her with mental health struggles but also explained the depression is always a 'part' of her. 'What therapy did was that it built this tool system for me. So now I have the strength - I have the strength and the foundation I need to overcome my depression.' Kendra's divorce from Hank was finalized in 2019 and earlier this year in March, she gave an update on their co-parenting relationship while also calling their past marriage the 'happiest days of my entire life.' During an episode of the Amy & T.J. podcast, she explained, 'And so when those days came to an end, I crumbled so hard, and it almost killed me. It almost killed me. 'I left the Playboy Mansion at age 23, got pregnant, got married at the age of 23, then started my life as a wife and a mother, and it was the golden years of my life.' The star later expressed, '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.' When questioned about why their marriage had come to end, she simply stated that 'too many' mistakes had been made. In regards to what she is looking for with love, Wilkinson informed Us Weekly late last year, 'It's time that I kind of evolve here and not stay in the booty call land. It's time I evolve and look for a husband or boyfriend or something.' Kendra added, 'I think I'm gonna crawl up from the dead here soon and look for this man of mine, wherever he is.' The media personality also revealed that she is interested in testing out dating apps - but explained she has been on the waiting list for Raya for years. While on the Amy & T.J. podcast, she gave a little insight into her love life and said, 'I might dabble into some sex every now and then - but to date and be in a relationship? That's the longest farfetched thing I could possibly feel at the moment. 'I'm in a bachelorette-type of vibe right now,' she said and is enjoying playing the field.' She stated, 'I do have two very young, attractive, ex-NFL players that are, like, all up on me right now, and it makes me feel young. That's, like, instant Botox for me.' Following her time living at the Playboy mansion, Wilkinson previously shared that she 'struggles still to this day with my relationships and my views on sex.' The TV personality puts her main focus on raising her two children who are also involved in sports such as basketball.
