Kendra Wilkinson recently opened up about her past relationship with Hugh Hefner and how it impacted her views on intimacy and relationships. The reality TV star admitted to struggling with her views on sex, having gone through therapy to address her issues. Wilkinson had been one of Hefner’s girlfriends after meeting him at 18 years old and living in the Playboy Mansion for five years before ending the relationship in 2009.
The former Playboy model confessed that her time with Hefner resulted in unhealthy thoughts about relationships and marriage, leading her to later marry football player Hank Baskett in 2009. However, their marriage ended in divorce in 2018 after Kendra admitted to being unfaithful to Hefner while they were together. Despite the cheating scandal, Wilkinson praised Baskett as an amazing father to their two children and expressed gratitude for co-parenting with him.
Wilkinson described her time as a wife and mother as the “golden years,” but when that phase ended, she faced a difficult period that almost “killed” her. However, after six years of therapy, she now feels at peace and in a good place mentally. As she reflected on her past experiences, Kendra emphasized the importance of self-care and mental health while also recognizing the positive aspects of her journey towards healing and self-improvement.
