Kendra Wilkinson<\/a> sounded off on getting older, saying she’s “not trying to be sexy” and, instead, is focusing on “changes that suit me only and my kids<\/a>.”<\/p>\n“I’m ok aging. I’m ok not being young Kendra anymore. I’m not playboy anymore,” wrote Wilkinson on her Instagram stories<\/a> on Wednesday, July 8. Wilkinson, who turned 41 in June<\/a>, was 18 when she first moved into the Playboy Mansion. She began starring on the E! reality show, The Girls Next Door<\/em><\/a> when she was 19.<\/p>\n“I’m not trying to be sexy,” Wilkinson continued on Wednesday. “Dating and men aren’t on the [forefront] of my mind. Looking exactly how i want and loving myself exactly how I am is where I’m at. Finding gratitude and my peace everyday is my objective.”<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\nKendra Wilkinson shared that she’s not trying to be ‘sexy’ anymore

The model-turned-realtor, who shares son Hank Randall IV<\/a>, 14, and daughter Alijah Mary<\/a>, 12, with ex-husband Hank Baskett III<\/a>, went on to share that she’s “loving ME and exactly who I am and turning into. Had to get through the ‘what do people want from me’ to get here. Making changes that suit me only and my kids.”<\/p>\nWilkinson responded to a critic who pointed out that she’s shared similar sentiments about aging in the public eye before.<\/p>\n
“A lot of people don’t see the posts and I get new followers who criticize my age,” she replied. “Just want to push positive powerful messages to the world about age. Think it’s important for women and girls. That’s all.”<\/p>\n
Another commenter was more aligned with Wilkinson’s sanguine take on aging, writing that it “is a privilege” that “many don’t get to experience.”<\/p>\n
In March, Wilkinson fired back at a commenter<\/a> who insulted her appearance, “I’m ok with aging ‘poorly.’ “<\/p>\n“For some reason I’m happier than I’ve ever been lately even with a little weight gain and wrinkles,” she said, “and I’m not going to tie my happiness again into the negative energy.”<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Kendra](\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/lo\/mysterio\/api\/582D66735FCF20CCA3F97F211352F2A1E54CF71E6471F6FB12F8A20813965270\/subgraphmysterio\/resizefit_w960_h640;quality_80;format_webp\/https:%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen%2Faol_people_articles_471%2Fa8c80d63bf4f2687b147eb05dc244d80\"\/)
