REALITY TVKendra Wilkinson Declares She's 'Not a Failure' Despite Gaining Weight
Kendra Wilkinson is balancing motherhood, a real estate career while working in Hollywood.
Kendra Wilkinson was a former Playboy star, where looks and your figure matter most, but she’s not letting the fact she’s gained a little weight get her down — in fact, she’s embracing it.
Kendra Wilkinson starred on the reality show 'The Girls Next Door.'
The former Girls Next door star took to Instagram on January 22 to share a selfie. In the caption, Wilkinson addressed her body, writing, “A little weight gain and aging isn’t something I call a failure and I do enough every day to keep myself standing upright, healthy, mentally healthy and smiling. Overcoming challenges just shape us into new people and I’m willing to live and learn and grow through it all while staying focused and motivated.”
She noted she’s “embracing life a little differently nowadays” after undergoing her fair “share of hardships and setbacks.”
“I've learned how to rise above and let life flow,” she admitted. “Let go and only invite positive thinking in.”
Kendra Wilkinson filed for divorce from Hank Baskett in 2018.
Wilkinson acknowledged she’s a mother who is “out here grinding,” as she is balancing a real estate career, being a parent and working in Hollywood.
This wasn’t the first time she addressed her body on Instagram.
“Yes, I’ve gained weight,” she shared at the time. “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. Kids are my everything. Feeling pretty balanced. Working out and cooking a lot more. Golf, work. No housekeeper or nanny.”
Wilkinson then blasted those “hating on” her weight and 40-year-old face, telling them she is “happy and healthy."
