Kendra Wilkinson says she was 'a little bit off mentally' when she was filming her comeback TV show.
The 39-year-old reality star - who shot to fame as one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends and featured on The Girls Next Door in the late 2000s - admitted that when she went back in front of the camera for Kendra Sells Hollywood she wasn't 'really ready' at first.
She told People: 'I feel a little regret filming my last show because I wasn't really ready.
'I was a little bit off mentally. 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.'
The Playboy legend - who has Hank, 14, and daughter Alijah, nine, with her ex-husband Hank Baskett - finished shooting Kendra Sells Hollywood in 2023 after two seasons.
She also recently admitted that she is looking forward to heading back to the small screen with a project that she hinted will focus on her dating life.
Kendra Wilkinson says she was 'a little bit off mentally' when she was filming her comeback TV show. The 39-year-old reality star - who shot to fame on The Girls Next Door - but admitted that when she went back in front of the camera for Kendra Sells Hollywood she wasn't 'really ready' at first; seen in 2022
She said: 'There are two shows I'm working on. 'I'll be announcing in a few weeks. I love doing TV. So I'm not going to stop doing that.
'No one has ever seen me date yet. I'm really looking forward to announcing what I have in store for you guys.'
Earlier this year, Kendra announced that she had put her career in real estate on the backburner to focus on motherhood. Kendra announced on Instagram: 'My relationship with real estate has come to an end at this moment and I'm on to new projects.
'I'm blessed and thankful for all the support and mentoring I was given. Real estate is hard and I might get back into it again down the line.
'For now, its a little stressful in my life so I'm focusing on myself and kids and getting my mental health good again so I have the strength to get back in it with a good head. Love you and thank you guys.'
This comes after she revealed that has not been allowed on a high-end dating app.
She got candid with People at the 11th Annual American Reality Television Awards in Los Angeles.
The Playboy vet was previously married to Hank Baskett from 2009 through 2018 - and the former couple share two children: Hank IV, 14, and Alijah, 10.
Since the split and after taking time to focus on raising her kids, Wilkinson explained that she has been on the waiting list for the private, membership-based app, Raya, for four years.
A number of celebrities have also used the app in the past, such as Channing Tatum, Kiernan Shipka, Demi Lovato, and Paul Mescal.
'It's hilarious because the universe is talking to me. I tried to get on Raya and it's been four years on the waiting list,' Kendra told the outlet.

'I swear to God and they will not let me in. So the universe is basically saying, "We're not ready for you. Dating world, Kendra is not coming in. You better, you better wait an extra five years."'
'Because once… Kendra enters the dating world, it's on. It is going to be hilarious and funny,' the star added.
Despite still waiting to be allowed on Raya, the mother-of-two revealed to People that she has 'a couple boo things scattered all over L.A.'
'I need a little bit of a level-up now. Just because I have a little sex every now and then, doesn't make them more than that.'
Wilkinson continued, 'So I am looking for a little bit more than that now. So I'm definitely ready now.'
The media personality later revealed that she could possibly step back into the world of reality television which follows her love life.
She expressed, 'I'm actually working on a show right now, I'm creating one. And it might be something that nobody has seen me do before.'
'And what's something nobody's seen me do before? People have seen my crotch, they've seen my boobs, they've seen my births of my kids, but nobody has ever seen me date. So I might be open to that concept.'

Earlier this year in January, Kendra revealed to People that she had remained 'celibate' following her divorce from Baskett.
The former couple split after cheating allegations against Hank surfaced - but stated that the retired NFL player is an 'amazing co-parent.'
'It's been so long since I've had sex - it's been so long that I've had any,' the reality star said at the time.
'Because I shamed myself on my sexuality too. Everyone sees me as a sex icon, so I shamed myself. I shamed myself, and I stayed away from anything sex. I almost became celibate.'
Wilkinson added, 'I can't go back in time and rewire history, but I'm here to move forward in my life and upward. And live a good life. That's what I'm here for.'
She then gushed about her children and stated, 'They're good, solid human beings who are aiming to achieve life. And I've so much good in front of me.'
'It's only the beginning for my life. I feel like I just pressed a rebirth. I feel like I'm being dealt new cards. Like what's in front of me now?'
On Monday, she also spoke with E! News at the red carpet event, and expressed to the outlet that she doesn't 'hide' her past from her kids.
Kendra was notably one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends and her life at the Playboy mansion was documented in the reality series titled The Girls Next Door.
'I don't hide. The one thing I don't do is hide my past from the kids,' Wilkinson explained.
She then added, 'I have done so much work on myself, through therapy and through meds and through anything I possibly can do to really come to peace with everything, like I burned out with worry. I'm done with worrying.'
The star further explained that she has found peace with her past, and said, 'It's telling. I'm able to tell the kids what mom has been through, not hide anything...'
'Show them that you can be okay through anything and everything, and you can work your way past anything in the world and be okay.'
Kendra expressed, 'If they want to know something, they ask and I tell them. We just have a very open communication, relationship, and they appreciate that so much.'

She notably dabbled in the business and also starred in her own reality TV series titled Kendra Sells Hollywood which came to an end last year.
At the time of the revelation, Wilkinson told her fans on Instagram that she would be putting her focus into different projects.
The beauty then added that real estate was a 'little stressful in my life so I'm focusing on myself and kids and getting my mental health good again so I have the strength to get back in it with a good head.'
