Kendra Wilkinson, 40, reveals she's 'no longer interested in men' after heartbreak from Hugh Hefner and Hank Baskett
And then the pinup model wed football star Hank Baskett, 42, whom she divorced in 2018 after nine years of marriage.
But these days the 40-year-old Girls Next Door veteran has sworn off men, and it's for a relatable reason.
Instead of getting involved in a romance, she wants to make as much money as she can in her new career as a real estate agent in Los Angeles.
Kendra made the comments in a new Instagram post: 'I appreciate all the love and support,' began her message on Insta Stories.
'I don't have interest in men at the moment. Just work. Thank you for supporting my business,' added the Kendra On Top.

Wilkinson was in a tank top and slacks with a clover necklace as she stood on a yacht.
'Been having a lot of fun lately,' she added. 'Love being a mom. Love being single. Love aging. Love real estate. Love my body the way it is. Zero f**** given.'
The cover girl also wrote over another photo, 'Reach out if you're looking into selling or buying.'
Then there was this cheerful entry: 'I hope you guys are having a great summer!' And she finished with: 'You can support me by referring me to friends who are looking into moving. Thank you.'
She has two children with Hank: Hank Jr, 15, and Alijah, 11.
Kendra has frequently reflected on moving into the Playboy Mansion at the tender age of 18.
In 2004, the star moved from San Diego to Los Angeles to become one of Hugh Hefner's three live-in girlfriends alongside Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt.
And during a chat with Fox News Digital, the blonde revealed the one regret she has about her four years in the sprawling abode.
She told the outlet: 'The only thing I can say I regret in my life is not starting my real estate career while I was living at the Playboy Mansion.'
The former lingerie model explained: 'I was surrounded by everyone - every celebrity, every billionaire, and what was I thinking? But I'm now in real estate, so I'm good.'

Kendra rose to fame on the E! unscripted series The Girls Next Door, which followed her life as one of Hefner's girlfriends.
The show lasted for six seasons between 2005 and 2010, and she lived at the famous estate from 2004 to 2009.
She began her real estate career when she got her license in 2020 and joined fellow reality star realtor Mauricio Umansky's The Agency.
A docuseries dubbed Kendra Sells Hollywood on Discovery+ showcased her struggles as a new agent in the bustling industry.
It lasted for two seasons from 2021 to 2023.
The star told People last November that she was 'off mentally' while filming the show. She shared at the time: 'I feel a little regret filming my last show because I wasn't really ready.
'I was a little off mentally, and I wasn't prepared to be on a camera just yet. I wasn't fully healed or there yet. Now I feel there.'
In March, Kendra spoke with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes on their self-titled podcast, and she referred to her time being married as the 'happiest days of my entire life.'
She emphasized: 'And so when those days came to an end, I crumbled so hard, and it almost killed me. It almost killed me,'
Kendra elaborated: '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.'
Looking back at her choice to settle down with Hank, she affirmed: 'It was the right timing. I found myself so bored at the Playboy Mansion.
'I was just like, "I'm ready to leave this place. I'm ready to start a family. I'm ready for the lifestyle: My kids go to a great school. I'm a soccer mom. I'm a softball mom. I'm a basketball mom."'
She added: 'I manifested it, and it came to me, and I met the perfect man, the man of my dreams.'
The mom-of-two heaped praise on her ex, noting, '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.'

She left little to the reaction as she modeled a bodysuit with sexy cutouts, sequined details tracing the curves of her body paired with a pair of matching, hip-baring stockings. The reality TV personality sparked a flurry of comments as her fans reacted to her dramatic hourglass figure as she showed off her corset-cinched waistline. Her post comes just weeks after her noticeably tiny waist sparked fresh surgery speculation after years of rampant denial from the reality star. In response to her sultry post, she also received a flirty comment from another A-list star: Katy Perry. The pop star — who was unable to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's over-the-top Venetian wedding — commented: 'TEN OUTTA TEN.' She also shared a triptych of snapshots showing her team helping her with the fitting and putting finishing touches to custom tailer the piece to her inimitable, incredible physique.

FKA twigs and Shia LaBeouf reach settlement over sexual battery lawsuit
FKA twigs has reached a settlement with Shia LaBeouf over her lawsuit for sexual battery. According to legal documents first obtained by Us Weekly, the English musician whose legal name is Tahliah Barnett, filed to end her lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend with prejudice, meaning she cannot refile the claims in the future. The 37-year-old singer sued LaBeouf in 2020 for sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress, alleging a pattern of 'relentless' abuse. In the suit and in an interview with the New York Times, Barnett said LaBeouf, whom she dated from 2018 t0 2019 after meeting on the set of his semi-autobiographical film Honeyboy, knowingly exposed her to a sexually transmitted infection, attempted to strangle her and slammed her against a car. LaBeouf denied all allegations of wrongdoing. Barnett's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, and LaBeouf's lawyer, Shawn Holley, released a joint statement on the settlement: 'Committed to forging a constructive path forward, we have agreed to settle our case out of court. While the details of the settlement will remain private, we wish each other personal happiness, professional success and peace in the future.' The case had dragged on for years with little movement, with both sides going back and forth over the production of text messages and other evidence. It was originally scheduled to go to trial last year, but was postponed multiple times. In 2024, LaBeouf, 39, revealed that Barnett was seeking $10m, a number his team attempted to dismiss as excessive, citing Barnett's continued music career. In a statement, his lawyer also cited Barnett's role in the 2024 film The Crow, a modeling campaign for Calvin Klein and appearances in magazines such as Elle and British Vogue as evidence against the damages sought. At the time, Barnett's lawyer responded: 'While my client was led to believe that LaBeouf was on a path of taking responsibility and working a program, it is clear he intends his pattern of continuing to abuse the victim. 'Any suggestion that FKA twigs' emotional distress should be discounted because of any career success is preposterous and discounts the idea that victims should have hope for the future,' he added. 'Logically, without the trauma that she has suffered, I can only imagine the level of success she would have achieved by now.' In a separate filing, her lawyer disputed LaBeouf's claim that the singer was thriving due to the success of her career. '[LaBeouf] argues that if [twigs] is working and making income, then she does not suffer from emotional distress. This is simply not true,' the filing read. 'A person's ability to make money, particularly how much money, is not correlated to a person's emotional distress damages.' In her interview with the Times, Barnett said she came forward publicly to show how even a critically acclaimed artist with money and a support network can experience domestic abuse. 'I'd like to be able to raise awareness on the tactics that abusers use to control you and take away your agency,' she said at the time. The Times also interviewed another former girlfriend of LaBeouf's, who described a similar pattern. Before the court case, LaBeouf responded broadly to the two women's stories: 'I'm not in any position to tell anyone how my behavior made them feel,' he said in an email to the New York Times. 'I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations. I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I'm ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt. There is nothing else I can really say.' LaBeouf went on to star in Abel Ferrara's 2022 film Padre Pio, as well as Francis Ford Coppola's critically panned opus Megalopolis, released in 2024. This year, he appeared in the boxing drama Salvable. Barnett's latest album, Eusexua, was released in January. The Guardian described it as 'a hymn to the healing power of the dancefloor'.
