Wilkinson, 39, insisted she is “simply giving” the retired athlete, 42, the “respect he deserves being an amazing co-parent.”

The former couple called it quits in 2018 after nearly nine years of marriage and two children: son Hank IV, 15, and daughter Alijah, 10.

The “Kendra on Top” alum also hit back at those who believe she is “not the same” and “come[s] across as sad” these days.

“My world lately has actually been fun and exciting. Surrounded by amazing friends and my 2 kids. Dancing and getting out checking out hot guys, laughing, golfing, closing deals, cooking tacos, watching kids sports n more,” she clarified.

“I’ve been through so much and I’m always trying to remain positive and I’ve said numerous times how grateful i am for my past and how i wish everyone well.”

Wilkinson noted that she often discusses her Playboy Mansion days in interviews because it comes up “every single time,” as people “still have a hunger for it.”

This was the case when the former model appeared on “The Skinny Confidential” Thursday — and again spoke fondly of Baskett.

“I miss my marriage sometimes, and I loved my marriage,” she told podcast listeners. “I think we just played with fire, and it burned us.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, Wilkinson reiterated that she “loved” her time with the former NFL player but is “so used” to being single now.

The real estate agent, who is “exploring” and “get[s] around a little bit” with her “boy toys,” said, “I look at men and I … freak out thinking about commitment, committing to the wrong person or it getting boring.”

Wilkinson has kept it real on social media in recent months, slamming trolls over her weight and aging in scathing clapbacks.

The “Girls Next Door” alum called haters “a–holes” in March, writing, “If I look old then so be it. I don’t care. … Too busy.”
