In June, the TV personality appeared on Melissa Gorga's On Display podcast, where she opened up about starting over after her divorce and opening herself to the possibility her reality TV career might end.

“It was impossible to be happy at that point," Wilkinson told Gorga of that time in her life. "I didn't even know how to be happy. My kids were what gave me the purpose."

Wilkinson credits her two children with Baskett with giving her the push to "stay alive, to keep going, to drive them to hockey and basketball and smile and watch them do everything. They're the ones who kept my heart beating.”

Wilkinson and Baskett finalized their divorce in February 2019 where they both agreed to split joint legal and physical custody of their two children.

The mom of two said she felt "like a zombie" as she struggled to figure out her next steps and "what I was going to do for a living."

"I have nobody paying my bills. Never have…It was so hard," she recalled. "So, four years, five years afterwards. I'm like, ‘Okay, I did a lot of healing. I did a lot of healing from Playboy.’ I'm like, ‘Okay, who am I? Who is this chick? I don't even know who this person is.’”

In a scene from the first season of her Discovery+ series last year, the former Girls Next Door star shared her gratitude for the relationship she shares with her kids and where she is on her parenting journey.

"I couldn't have asked for better kids. I mean, when it comes to parenting and when it comes to my bonding with them, so sacred and so powerful," she said. "If there's one part of my life I'm doing right, it's them."
