Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner had a jolly ol Christmas this year by becoming engaged to his Playmate girlfriend Crystal Harris!
Hugh, 84, took to his twitter page over the weekend to announce his engagement to the E! network’s Girls Next Door star. Crystal is only 24-years-old (despite looking like she could easily pass for her mid-thirties) and 60 years Hugh’s junior.
“After the movie tonight, Crystal & I exchanged gifts. I gave Crystal a ring. A truly memorable Christmas Eve,” Hugh tweeted. “When I gave Crystal the ring, she burst into tears. This is the happiest Christmas weekend in memory.”
To further clarify things, Hugh added, “Yes, the ring I gave Crystal is an engagement ring. I didn’t mean to make a mystery out of it. A very merry Christmas to all.”
This will make the third marriage for Hugh. In 2009, he filed for divorce from his second wife, former Playmate Kimberly Conrad, after the two separated in 1998 (they have two sons together – Marston, 20, and Cooper, 19). Hugh was also previously married to Mildred Williams; their marriage ended in divorce in 1959. Hugh and Mildred have two grown children – Christie, 58, and David, 55.
Here’s to hoping former Playmate and Girls Next Door star Holly Madison, 31, who dated Hugh for 7 years and publicly stated on numerous occasions that she hoped to marry him and have his babies, only to have to end the relationship because Hugh told her he never wanted to get married or have children again, is being kept away from all sharp objects on this beautiful Monday morning.
TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON HUGH’S ENGAGEMENT TO CRYSTAL?









He is one person I truly despise.
good luck with that hugh hefner although i must say that your a little to old to get marry to someone that can possibly be your daughter a little icky……..
He’s just nasty and she’s just a gold digger ho.
Possibly be your daughter- try granddaughter or even great-granddaughter. I would love to know what her parents and family think of this. I know he’s rich- but that’s just gross.
Nasty is all I can say…..EWWWW
Marston was born in 1990 and Cooper in 1991, so they would have to be 20 and 19 years old. It wouldn’t make sense for Hef and Kimberly to get divorced in 1998 and their kids be born after the divorce
Great catch Shari! You’re right. The UsWeekly article listed them as those ages. I have corrected it. Thanks – Reality Tea
I feel bad for Holly.
Holly stated that she broke up with Hef because multiple pregnancy attempts failed not because he wouldn’t marry her. She said the baby was the deal breaker.
Shocking but I believe it was because of his dead sperm.
@9 Holly did say that. His manstuff was indeed stale, and she talked about how the fertility clinic knew all along and ripped them off.
To me, when it comes to these young girls and Hef, it is all a publicity stunt.
Hef was all about women’s sexual freedom, but somehow it took a turned for the worst in the 90′s when he started featuring only bleached blond, fake boobies, anorexic bimbettes.
Anything for him to be relevant. Perhaps a last ditch publicity stunt? Playboy Magazine circulation is the lowest in years and has been a target of takeovers by publishers. Hef has been told by his board that the lavish parties, multiple girlfriends is draining his personal and company accounts. This guy is going to go the way of Bob Guccione of Penthouse, old broke and lonely. It was cool with the gold diggers some 10-20 years ago but it’s a tired act now. Hope she can change your depends with her manicured nails gramps
Team Holly!
GND was not the same after HBK left and Crystal is just riding their coattails. This is such a publicity stunt. Who wants to bet that a reality show about planning the wedding is already in the works? Maybe she’ll “sing” at the wedding and give out her makeup line as party favors…
In a word….Ewwwwww.
I’m sorry but Hef with all the super young women has never been sheik and it has never made him or his magazine relevant. It is just plain disgusting and personally I think it should be illegal for young women to marry old men and dirty old men to marry woman that are 60 years their junior.
whats it like to sleep with your grandfather or maybe GREAT GRANDFATHER, disgusting
Nasty what what really do you expect from this man?
Everyone is saying Ewwww…but come on. Men are dogs – any 80 year old would get with a 20 year old if they could – Hef just can.
#4–I have had the same thought about the families. I remember Kendra’s mom just gushing over Hef and I thought that was odd. Well it makes a bit more sense when you think that Hef takes these girls who were often strippers (in Kendra’s case) and nudie models (Chrystal’s case) and give them this nice life. Now that’s something for the parents to be overjoyed about!
He must be a great lover..lmao…just kidding we all know he is filthy…rich.
How the hell did this happen? I thought Hugh didn’t want anything more to do with being married and possibly having children since his second wife tried to make their mansion into a family oriented home for their children instead of keeping it a bimbo camp that he could not stay away from.
I feel bad for Holly as I truly believe that she loved him. And she put up with everything (i.e. multiple “girlfriends” and being controlled by Hef – curfews, etc.) because she thought somehow there would be a chance. Now she’s a has-been at what – the age of 30. I understand though that all three of the girls, Holly, Kendra & I forget the other one – received $6 million before they left.
I believe I read somewhere that his empire is going downhill due to the internet and that he is renting his mansion as it actually belongs to the company. His daughter is the one in charge and Hef is actually just a consultant.
Well I’m sure Hef will kick the bucket before 90, and this bimbo will cash in with whatever money he has left. Skeezy what one will do to get money from a rich man that is probably wearing depends.
What?! If H-B-K all got 6 mils each, Kendra would not of sold her sex tape. Have you seen how she lives? Even Holly lives modestly in Vegas.
That was all their own GND money.
Sugarbaby allowance included $4,ooo a month, room & board, and unlimited plastic surgery and hair appointments.
Hef is one cheap bastard. He uses these girls to promote PB, and that was the point of the show.
The first season of GND, the girls were paid ZERO, so Hef kept all that money.
The girls got together and demanded to be pay for the 2nd season.
Now they have some sort of career.
I’m sure this is what this is all about. To give Crystal a little credibility after he croaks, and to ensure he is not alone at the time of his death.
I’m sure there will be a nifty pre-nup in place.
You are right, Hef does not ‘own’ the PB mansion.
He made it into a business, so that he gets better tax breaks, and I believe that Christie is no longer in charge.
You can actually visit the mansion.
Feel sorry for Holly Madison? Why?
She is the most boring person I have seen on television.in 46 years.
If she is so stupid that she can’t snag a withered, dried up old 84 year old toad does she deserve him? I think not! She should be in the Hoe Hall of Shame.
I bet she thought she had it going on when she became the number one HOE and moved into Hef’s bedroom..Probably the only thing that went on was helping him to the bathroom and wiping his ARSE. I know Kendra was glad she escaped that bullet!
No matter how suave he pretends to be is just a PERVERTED DIRTY OLD MAN and they are all just STANK HOES..
Poor Holly!! Hef screwed her over bad!!
Holly loved Hef, sure she has to be upset but I think its the best thing for her…she will and has moved on and will find someone new eventually.
That CH is only after a chunk of the money.
It’s funny that the sexual revolution guy keeps going back to marriage and children.
Ick.
Poor Holly, but she got a lot out of this, a lot of money, and people know who she is so she got famous too.
I saw this coming a mile away. All these die-hard playboys always marry the next one when they are publicly humiliated by a girlfriend (e.g. Warren Beatty & Madonna).
I think Hef was always all for MALE sexual freedom. That’s how it ended up being all about surgically altered, bleached blonde fembots. The ultimate fantasy for a pig – I mean free-loving guy like him.
PUKE !!!!!!!!
I think its great he is happy and getting married im happy for them both and i bet holly is pissed about it she should have held out
He is being taken by thi bimbo…sad
So Stupid! that girls not gonna stay with that old man, he could be her great grand father, I have one thing to say, MONEY!
Well this Crystal Harris is certainly a smart gal. If she does the math correctly, she won’t have to be with Hef for too long. And before she knows it, she will the most wealthiest widow.
Even in South Africa you have pathetic barbie girls marrying into a wealthy family, or what they think is wealth. As long as they play along, open their legs regularly and wear loads of makeup, their hubbies are happy to have them at home. Cheap tarts.
i think in every way she shows that all she wants is his money
crystal harris. . .
She just wants his money……she will be set for life
Hefner actually “retired” around 1978 at the age of 52. His eldest offspring, Christie, took over the family dyNASTY/business at that time … at the age of 25. No doubt that at least one of her younger brothers will be ready to take it over from Christie whenever she retires within a few years. The older of the two boys will be 25 in five years. And if, by some contrived miracle, Hef has a child with his dear young Crystal before he finally “checks out” of this misogenist/sexist world …. then THAT particular offspring of his will be in line and ready to step up and take it over from Kimberly’s son(s) at about that future time when HIS retirement is imminent. Just do the simple math …. and then Hef’s REAL reason (or agenda) for suddenly legally getting hitched and producing a couple of kids every 25 years or so becomes glaringly evident. It’s just all “business” to him …. AND to the women he marries. Capeesh??
He’s smart. But I’m totally over him. I think its stupid that he is engaged. Surely his manhood is stale!!!!!!!!!yuk.
She can change his adult diapers that be so cute and sexy.
