Kendra Wilkinson reveals her biggest regret about living in the Playboy Mansion
Kendra Wilkinson often reflects on moving into the Playboy Mansion at the tender age of 18.
In 2004 the star — who turns 40 on Thursday — moved from San Diego to Los Angeles to become one of Hugh Hefner's three live-in girlfriends alongside Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt.
Speaking with Fox News Digital this week, the blonde bombshell revealed the one regret she has about her four years in the sprawling abode.
'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,' she told the outlet.
Wilkinson 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.'
Wilkinson 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 2004-2009.
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 struggle as a new agent in the bustling industry.
It lasted for two seasons from 2021-2023.
The star told People last November that she was 'off mentally' while filming the show.
'I feel a little regret filming my last show because I wasn't really ready,' she confessed at the time. '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.'
Kendra was married to her ex-husband, former NFL star Hank Baskett, from 2009 to 2018.
They share two children: son Hank Baskett IV, 15, and daughter Alijah, 11.
Speaking with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes on their self-titled podcast in March, the blonde bombshell referred to her time being married as the 'happiest days of my entire life.'
'And so when those days came to an end, I crumbled so hard, and it almost killed me. It almost killed me,' she emphasized.
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.'
And Kendra 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.'

How Brad Pitt's favourite watch got its own starring role in F1
Brad Pitt may be best known for appearing in some of cinema's biggest blockbusters, but as a figure in the public eye for nearly four decades, he's also no stranger to scrutiny when it comes to his style choices. Alongside the clothes on his back, his hoard of statement watches has been well documented. And with the release of this season's high-octane motor-racing movie F1, Pitt's interest in horology is set to be centre stage again. The film, which is co-produced by Lewis Hamilton, stars Pitt as Sonny Hayes, who returns to the track to reclaim his lost glory following a spell in rehabilitation. But long before the movie's premiere this month — for which IWC is the sponsor of the fictional racing team and supplied all the timepieces — watch aficionados were caught up in a speculative frenzy when images of Pitt found their way into media channels. What had them bamboozled was a mystery green-dialled watch that was perfectly colour-coordinated with Pitt's elegant Sunspel sweatshirt and leather holdall. Theories swirled as to whether this was a 'prop' watch or something with more substance. It turned out to be the latter. 'Some time ago I got an email from somebody called 'BP' and I discarded it at first, until my team asked me if I had got an email from Brad Pitt,' says Chris Grainger-Herr, the CEO of IWC, recalling his astonishment when the actor got in touch. Pitt's message concerned the watch he thought his character should wear in the film, and a particular IWC model would be the only one up to muster. He requested an IWC Ingenieur SL 1832, a vintage 1976 model by Gérald Genta — often considered the godfather of modern watch design — who was also responsible for the cult Patek Philippe Nautilus and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. 'He was very specific — he wanted it half as thick as the original and a special dial colour,' Grainger-Herr adds. Pitt also requested that the modifications involve his jeweller, Cloister Watch Co in New York, which is famed for its customisation work. The dial Pitt chose, a moss green that is his character's signature colour in the film, never existed in the original Seventies iteration — and was what had watch fanatics scratching their heads. Ingenieur Automatic 40, IW328908, £11,100, Christian Knoop, IWC's creative director, and his team were so taken with this one-off 'fictional' watch designed by the actor that they decided to launch their own tribute to his timepiece. The result is a contemporary spin on Pitt's remodelled vintage design, which still retains the Seventies swagger of the film version with a slick, integrated bracelet and angular case, but has all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a modern watch, including a high-spec self-powered movement that will keep ticking for 120 hours off the wrist. And that green dial has been given a textural upgrade with a grid-like finish. 'With this re-engineered model, we brought back the aesthetic codes of the original 1976 Ingenieur SL 1832, pairing them with the ergonomics and finishing of a luxury sports watch for today,' Knoop explains. And with only 1,000 being produced, you'll need to move like an F1 champ to get your hands on one before the chequered flag is waved.
