Kendra Wilkinson's marriage was her 'golden years'

Kendra Wilkinson looks back fondly on her marriage

Kendra Wilkinson looks back on her marriage to Hank Baskett as her "golden years".

The former Playboy model, 39, married the NFL star in 2009 and they welcomed two children - son Henry, 15, and daughter Alijah, 10 - before divorcing in 2018 amid allegations Hank had cheated - but Kendra has no regrets about the relationship admitting she "chose right with him" even though the marriage failed.

During an appearance on the 'Amy and T.J.' podcast, Kendra explained: "[Marriage was my] the golden years. 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. I manifested it, and it came to me, and I met the perfect man, the man of my dreams."

She went on to add: "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."

Kendra previously admitted she had been celibate since her divorce but last year decided she was ready to start dating again.

She told PEOPLE: "It’s been so long since I’ve had sex - it’s been so long that I’ve had any. Because I shamed myself on my sexuality too.

"Everyone sees me as a sex icon, so I shamed myself and I stayed away from anything sex. I almost became celibate."

Kendra added that she can't see herself marrying again, but she was ready to "start to have fun" again.

She went on to say: "I can't go back in time and rewire history, but I'm here to move forward in my life and upward. And live a good life. That's what I'm here for."
