Kendra Wilkinson celebrated her milestone 40th birthday with her two kids by her side.
The TV personality-turned-realtor shared photos from her birthday celebration via Instagram, posing with son Hank IV, 15, and daughter Alijah, 11. In one of the photos, high school basketball player Hank IV towered over his mother as he smiled at the camera.
“Wow!!! IM 40!!!!! So blessed today and feeling all the love and good energy. Love being surrounded by my kids and friends. Thank you all for the birthday wishes!!!” she captioned the post on Thursday, June 12.
Birthday wishes poured in from Wilkinson’s fans, friends and family in the comments section of the post.
“Have the HAPPIEST birthday ever lovely lady!!! Your forties are an incredibly empowering decade. Enjoy the ride!!!” chef Anne Burrell wrote.
“Ahhhhhhhh HBD doll face! Welcome to the club!!!” Scheana Shay said in a comment.
Prior to the birthday dinner, Wilkinson kicked off her birthday week by posting a sultry photo in a plunging top on Instagram, writing, “Almost time to leave my 30s behind! Over all I’m blessed but I’m looking forward to a new decade.”
Another post showed her playing golf and enjoying cigars with some of her pals in Orange County, California. In the caption of the Wednesday, June 11, upload, Wilkinson thanked her friends for a “great day” on the golf course.
In addition to the photos from her birthday week, Wilkinson has continued to share family memories via her Instagram account, gushing over how proud she is of her kids. On May 22, she posted a glimpse of Hank IV presenting a TED Talk in his high school gymnasium.
“My son inspired me today with his TED talk. I’m so beyond proud of him!!” Wilkinson, who shares Hank IV and Alijah with ex-husband Hank Baskett, captioned the post. “His talk was about perseverance and how important it is to keep pushing forward no matter what. Just like Michael Jordan, Steven Jobs and Nelson Mandela did.”
The caption continued, “Needed to hear this today and remember to stay in the NOW. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and know that success takes years to build mixed with a little struggle and challenges. Hank, keep up the great work. You’re working so hard and putting all of your effort into life, basketball and school. GO HANK.”
Many fans commented about how they remembered seeing Hank as a baby on the reality show Kendra and the subsequent series Kendra on Top.
“I remember seeing him being born on your TV show you handsome young man! You did a great job Kendra!” one fan commented.
“Oh my I remember watching the show he was a little one. What a handsome young man, Kendra you are blessed and so is he to have you for a great mom,” a second person said.
“I refuse to believe that is baby hank,” a third person commented.
