Kendra Wilkinson, the former Playboy bunny, recently shared an empowering message on her Instagram, confronting the criticism she has faced regarding her weight gain. Embracing a new chapter in her life, Wilkinson expressed her contentment and mental well-being, distancing herself from her past image.
Wilkinson’s post on Instagram, where she has over 3 million followers, candidly acknowledged her physical changes and ageing: “Yes, I have gained weight. Yes, I’m getting older. Yes, I’m not the girl I used to be, but for once in a long time, I feel good and mentally healthy. ” Her message was a robust response to the negative comments she received about her appearance, which she affirmed did not disturb her peace.
In her post, Wilkinson shared a selfie dressed in sportswear and loose hair, showcasing a departure from the glamorous and sexy ‘bunny’ image associated with her past. She appeared comfortable and natural, reflecting her current lifestyle, which focused more on personal satisfaction than public expectation.
Prioritizing Family Over Fame
Wilkinson highlighted her devotion to her family, emphasizing her active role in raising her children—Hank Jr., 15, and Alijah, 10—without the help of nannies or housekeepers. “The kids are my everything. I feel quite balanced. Working and cooking a lot more. I play golf, I work. No housekeeper or nanny,” she detailed, underlining her commitment to a hands-on, fulfilling family life.
As she approaches her 40s, Wilkinson also addresses the public scrutiny about her weight and appearance head-on, stating, “For those who hate my new weight, my 40-year-old face, please know that I am happy, healthy, and at peace in life finally. Leave me alone and respect that I am where I really want to be, at almost 40 I feel amazing.”
Moreover, Wilkinson acknowledged the comments regarding her alcohol consumption, asserting her intention to monitor and control this aspect of her life more carefully. “And yes, the people who criticize my alcohol intake I hear them, and that will be better monitored. Drinking too much is definitely drinking too much, but you know what comes in JUNE… Shots. I love you,” she concluded, showing her willingness to improve while maintaining her sense of humour about life’s challenges.
Through her post, Wilkinson demonstrated a strong and balanced approach to life’s pressures. She advocated for self-acceptance and the importance of prioritizing personal happiness over public approval.
