Crystal Harris Backs Kendra Wilkinson Following ‘Aging’ Post
Crystal Harris expressed her support for Kendra Wilkinson years after their time at the Playboy Mansion.
Harris, who was married to the late Hugh Hefner from 2012 until his passing in 2017, left a touching comment on Wilkinson’s post regarding the cruel remarks she has received online about “aging poorly.”
“Cheers to those who grow and move on to the life waiting for us. ❤️” Harris, 39, commented on Sunday, March 8. (Harris has filed to legally revert to her maiden name, as revealed exclusively by Us Weekly in June 2025.)
Former Playboy model Jessica Hall also publicly backed Wilkinson, stating, “Yesss my friend! You are beautiful at every stage of your life, and as I tell my own daughter, what makes you most beautiful is your heart. ❤️” Hall, 42, added.
Wilkinson gained fame as one of Hefner’s girlfriends in The Girls Next Door, alongside Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt, appearing for six seasons before launching her own E! spinoff, Kendra.
She also starred in a WE tv series, Kendra on Top, and showcased her life as a real estate agent in Kendra Sells Hollywood, which aired on Discovery+ and Max.
Now a mother of two, Hank Jr., 16, and Alijah, 11, with ex-husband Hank Baskett, Wilkinson reflected on embracing her looks in a candid post shared on International Women’s Day.
“I used to rely on light filters, but now I’m embracing myself as I am,” she wrote in her selfie caption. “I’ve received many comments saying I’ve aged ‘poorly,’ and that’s okay. I’m fine with aging ‘poorly.’”
“For some reason, I’ve been happier than ever lately, even with a bit of weight gain and some wrinkles. I refuse to link my happiness to negative energy,” she continued. “I am a balanced, single, positive, fun woman who loves life, and I hope to maintain this feeling permanently after working hard to reach this place.”
“I was very young when I started in TV, and I’ve lived a chaotic 20 years trying to impress others. Now it’s all about ME,” she added. “Giving back to ME, even with less money and far less fame. 😂”
Wilkinson shared that her true happiness comes from watching her children grow up.
Hall, who mentioned that Wilkinson is “still one of my best friends” on the “Between Us” podcast in May 2025, echoed those sentiments about the mother of two back in 2019.
“I get a lot of advice from her because her kids are older, and her parenting skills — she’s just evolving,” Hall told Us. “I can’t say enough good things about her as a mom right now; she’s excelling and doing it on her own, and I’m just really proud of her.”
