Kendra Wilkinson's kids are all grown up.
The Girls Next Door alum rang in her birthday with her son Hank IV, 14, and daughter Alijah, 10—whom she shares with ex-husband Hank Bassett—by her side with a special meal at Malibu's Nobu.
Kendra captioned the celebratory June 11 post, which featured an image with her kids in addition to snaps of her meal, "Here comes 39..."
For the occasion, Hank donned a simple ensemble of blue jeans and a white T-shirt, while Alijah's light blue and white flowered dress was the perfect complement to her mother's all-white jean and button-down look.
And friends and fans were equally shocked to see how much older Kendra's kids are looking these days. "I literally can't handle this- they were JUST babies," wrote one user, while another added, "Wow they've grown up so much !! Well done babe."
The newly 39-year-old also gave a small glimpse into some of her birthday gifts, sharing pictures of a bouquet of roses and a Louis Vuitton purse to her Instagram Story.
Kendra's post comes a month after she shared an update on Hank Jr., noting he'd been accepted into Oaks Christian School.
"I love you so much and watched you work hard to get to where you are," she captioned the April 24 post, which showed her son holding his acceptance certificate. "I'm so proud of you my boy. Keep going!!!"
For his part, Hank Sr. also shared a tribute to his son on the accomplishment, captioning his own post, "Proud cannot truly express how I feel. Great things in life do not come without sacrifice, hard work and commitment….all of which define you to your core. Congratulations on this next step in your journey!!! I look forward to witnessing your continued growth!!"
Kendra and the former football player filed for divorce in 2018 after nine years of marriage. And in the time since, they've found the perfect play for co-parenting.
"We're co-parenting so good," Kendra told E! News in June 2023. "The kids are so happy. I'm just trying to figure out who I am right now. Like, it's a process. It's a lot. So, I'm really getting to know who I am right now, and it takes a lot of time to do that."
And as she looked towards her 39th year, Kendra recently reflected on the struggles she's overcome—including a depression-induced panic attack that landed her in the hospital in September. Thankfully, with the help of her ex, she was able to get help and begin medication after accepting her mental health struggles, which set her on the path to recovery.
"Depression is something that doesn't just go away," she told People in January. "It's something that stays with you through life. You just have to learn to work with it and accept it. And it's a part of me. What therapy did was that it built this tool system for me. So now I have the strength and the foundation I need to overcome my depression."
And with those tools, Kendra is living the life she was always meant to with her family.
"I'm living now," she said. "I really faced myself and my demons. I feel like I'm the best mom I can be. I'm giving my kids all I got. I'm giving myself all I got."
