It’s been “so long” without sex for Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson, as she’s been celibate for the last six years.
The Playmate, who appeared on the UK version of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2014, claims she hasn’t had sex since her high-profile divorce from ex-husband Hank Baskett in 2018. She told People magazine: “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 wants to “start to have fun” again soon, explaining she wants to “move forward in her life”, but right now she’s focused on raising her children. She shares children Hank Jr., 14, and Alijah Mary, nine, with her ex Hank. She told the publication: “Right now, I’m focused on my kids, the love that they’re receiving from me and life, and raising them — and self-love.”
She doesn’t have any bad blood with Hank, and she says he’s “working so hard” and “being a great dad” after they split due to cheating allegations six years ago. She initially tied the knot with Hank at the Playboy Mansion back in 2009. Before meeting Hank, she dated Playboy founder Hugh Hefner from 2004 until 2008.
Kendra claimed during her stint in the ITV jungle she “didn’t know sex was involved” when it came to moving into the Playboy Mansion. She said: “I moved in, and weeks went by, and I didn’t know sex was involved… because I knew nothing about Playboy. I had just graduated high school.”
But her fellow Playmate Holly Madison alleged to Call Her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper that everyone who was invited to move in had to romp with the magazine mogul first. She said: “I had to sleep with him first.
“I’m not trying to slut shame anybody or anything, but nobody ever got asked to move in unless they had slept with him.” Wilkinson responded: “Times have changed. I forgive and have kids to love and focus on.”
She added: “I wish I had more time with Holly to understand this side… I wish her the best in life and [hope] this helps heal her.”

In her candid 2024 interview, Kendra also admitted she was “dying of depression” last year and was admitted to hospital after suffering a panic attack. She “hit rock bottom” at the time, and started taking antipsychotic medication Abilify as well as going to therapy three times a week.
She’s battled substance abuse issues since she was 15, admitting that she “drank a lot” at the mansion and did drugs – but now she’s had to “face her demons”.
