Kendra Wilkinson shares rare photo of kids Hank, 14, and Alijah, 14 (2024)

Kendra Wilkinson is surrounding herself with family on her 39th birthday.

The Girls Next Door vet— who recently defended getting highon the day Hugh Hefner died — took to her Instagramon Wednesday to share a sweet snap of son Hank Jr., 14, and daughter Alijah, 10, in celebration of the milestone.

Dressed in a chic white shirt and matching pants, the former Playboy Bunny posed with her two children, whom she shares with her ex Hank Baskett, as they enjoyed a sushi night at Nobu.

The blonde bombshell also posted a pic featuring a martini alongside a delectable-looking appetizer as she captioned the cute carousel: 'Here comes 39...'

Kendra's family night out comes after she announced she wasquitting real estate in order to focus on her mental healthand her children.

The Kendra Sells Hollywood star took to her Instagram three weeks ago to share the news with her fans.

'My relationship with real estate has come to an end at this moment and I'm on to new projects,' she wrote.

'I'm blessed and thankful for all the support and mentoring I was given. Real estate is hard and I might get back into it again down the line.'

'For now, its a little stressful in my life so I'm focusing on myself and kids and getting my mental health good again so I have the strength to get back in it with a good head.'

The former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner ended the post writing, 'Love you and thank you guys.'

Wilkinson embarked on a new career in the competitive realm of LA luxury real estate, documented in MAX's 'Kendra Sells Hollywood.'

The Girls Next Door alum gave fans a peek into her life on the show, which showed her juggling her career, working with fellow agents at Douglas Elliman, and caring for the two children, son Hank IV, 14, and daughter Alijah, nine, whom she shares with ex-husband, Hank Baskett, 41.

The show premiered in November 2021 and ran for two seasons.

In January 2024 it was announced that Kendra Sells Hollywood would not be renewed.

Kendra shared that she had passed her real estate exam in June 2020.

'What I've been working on during quarantine finally paid off by passing my California real estate exam on the first try,' she shared at the time.

'Was so nervous I couldn't even sleep one minute but I did it and now I can breathe and celebrate my hard work,' she added.

The post comes after Kendraopened up about being 'sexualized' at a young age and expressed her hope to pave a different path for her daughter.

She recalled being 'sexualized' before moving into the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles at age 18.

But she noted 'things got worse' once she was living in Hugh Hefner's home.

'Sex, sex, sex—that's all I knew,' she said of her life at the famed residence, per her interview withPeoplepublished in January.

'At the end of the day, I don't want my daughter sexualized at a young age like that,' she added

The star previously discussed her struggled with mental health in January, after she was hospitalized for a panic attack in 2023.

'I was in a state of panic. I didn’t know what was going on in my head and my body or why I was crying. I had hit rock bottom,' she told People at the time.

'It was so scary for me to go through it. I wasn’t focusing on myself or my mental health. Here I was a single mom and I've been alone for years now.'

'But it's also easy to feel like the world is caving in on you. I was trying to fight it on my own. I was trying to cure it on my own and you can't do that. I was isolating, hiding, blaming myself, blaming the world. I was spiraling out of control and I felt like I wasn't strong enough to survive.'

She has been forthright in the past about her struggles with mental health, including 'severe depression' as a teenager that drove her to 'a couple' suicide attempts.

On a 2015 episode of Kendra On Top, she was seen telling her therapist: 'When I was a teenager, I battled some severe depression.'

She confessed that she 'attempted suicide a couple times,' 'went to a mental institution,' and struggled with 'drugs, overdosing, slitting wrists, all that stuff.'

Kendra laid her soul bare about her fraught relationship with her mother Patti, saying with mounting fury: 'I was a young f***ing girl. All I wanted was for my mom to say: "I love you, and I'm here for you." I never got that.'

Kendra first launched her career at the Playboy Mansion, starring on the reality show The Girls Next Door about Hugh Hefner's girlfriends.

She, Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt all became boldface names while dating the Playboy founder and featuring on the E! program.

Hank, who was then an NFL player, tied the knot with Kendra at the Playboy Mansion in 2009 about two weeks after she announced she was pregnant with their son.

The marriage was buffeted by drama early on, including the 2010 leak of Kendra's sex tape, which she had recorded at 18 before her relationship with Hank.

The couple then nearly split up in 2014 when it emerged Hank had cheated with a transgender model during Kendra's second pregnancy.

Although they mended fences after the cheating scandal, their relationship ultimately fell apart for good in 2018, resulting in a divorce finalized in 2019.
