The Real Estate Pivot: From Playboy Mansion to Douglas Elliman
Kendra Wilkinson's career is a masterclass in reinvention, moving from a controversial glamour model to a serious professional. Her initial fame came from the E! reality series, *The Girls Next Door*, which documented her life alongside Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt at the *Playboy Mansion*.
Following her exit, she starred in two highly successful spin-off series: *Kendra* (E!) and *Kendra On Top* (WE tv), which chronicled her marriage to former NFL player Hank Baskett and her life as a mother.
The Rise and End of *Kendra Sells Hollywood*
After a four-year hiatus from television, Wilkinson made a dramatic return with the HGTV series *Kendra Sells Hollywood*, which premiered in November 2021. [cite: 3, 5, 9 (from step 1)] The show documented her challenging journey to earn her real estate license and secure a coveted position at the luxury firm Douglas Elliman, working under the guidance of top agent Ernie Carswell & Associates. [cite: 9, 11 (from step 1)]
The series, which ran for two seasons, captured the high-stakes drama of the Los Angeles real estate market and Wilkinson's personal struggles to balance her new career with motherhood. However, she confirmed that the show was not picked up for a third season, marking the end of that chapter. [cite: 15, 16 (from step 1)]
Mental Health Break and Professional Clarity
In May 2024, Kendra announced on social media that she was taking a step back from her real estate career to focus on her mental health and her children. [cite: 8 (from step 1)] This announcement caused speculation that she had quit the industry entirely. However, in September 2024, Wilkinson clarified her status, confirming that she did not actually quit and was "back in it." [cite: 8, 12 (from step 1)] Her brief break was necessary to address her personal well-being, but she remains a licensed and active agent, committed to her work in the luxury property market.
Navigating 2025: Dating, Wellness, and Haters
In 2025, Kendra Wilkinson has been exceptionally transparent about her life post-divorce from Hank Baskett, focusing on her mental and physical wellness while shutting down rumors about her dating life and body image.
A Surprising Stance on Dating
Following her high-profile divorce and the end of her marriage to the former NFL star, Wilkinson has stated that she is currently not interested in dating men. [cite: 6, 13 (from step 1)] While she did attempt to re-enter the dating scene in the fall of the previous year, she has since found peace in her single status, prioritizing her children, Henry IV and Alijah Mary, and her career. [cite: 6, 13 (from step 1)] Her focus is on self-discovery and stability, a significant shift from the highly publicized relationships of her past, including her years with Hugh Hefner.
The Truth About Weight Loss Shots
Kendra also made headlines in 2025 by discussing her experience with popular weight loss shots. She revealed that she had started using them but quickly decided to stop. [cite: 7 (from step 1)] Her decision was based on hearing "too many horror stories" related to the medication, leading her to discontinue use. This candid admission highlights her commitment to a more cautious and holistic approach to her health journey.
Firing Back at Body Critics
As a public figure, Wilkinson has faced constant scrutiny, including recent criticism regarding her weight. In January 2025, she took a stand against the "haters" who were criticizing her "new weight." [cite: 10 (from step 1)] Wilkinson’s response was a powerful message of self-acceptance, emphasizing that her body is her business and that she is focused on her happiness and health, not external validation. This move reinforces her image as a resilient woman determined to control her own narrative.
What’s Next for Kendra Wilkinson?
With the cameras off following the conclusion of *Kendra Sells Hollywood*, Kendra Wilkinson is dedicating her energy to her work as a real estate agent at Douglas Elliman. Her ability to pivot from the world of *Playboy* and celebrity reality television to a demanding professional career demonstrates remarkable resilience and business acumen. [cite: 8, 12 (from step 1)] Fans and industry observers are watching closely to see her next big move, whether it's a multi-million dollar listing, a new business venture, or perhaps, a surprising return to the small screen.
