Hefner’s death came one day after he announced on Twitter that he had married his 25-year-old fiancée Crystal Harris — exactly 53 years after launching Playboy with a naked photo-shoot featuring Marilyn Monroe.
The first issue of the magazine featured nude photos of the iconic actress shot by none other than Hugh Hefner himself, and she would go on to become the first “Playmate Of The Month” in 1953. He built an empire around his lifestyle as America’s best-known bon vivant. And while many have to imitate him over the years, only Hefner got to spend eternity in the Playboy Mansion with his many wives.
Hugh Hefner is married to Crystal Harris, after dating Kimberley Conrad for over 20 years. According to Us Weekly, the couple was set up by Hugh’s son, Marston.” “Marston also revealed that he and his father don’t get along too well which makes him sad because they both want each other in their life.

“Hugh will be missed by many, but he’ll particularly be missed by me,” said Crystal Harris, one of Mr Hefner’s surviving girlfriends. “Even though our relationship ended on something of a sour note several months ago when I cheated on him with Chad Michael Murray while he was out of town.
“MS. Harris claims she was motivated to cheat on Mr Hefner because she felt that she was not receiving the respect she deserved. “I know that sounds ridiculous, but hear me out,” Ms Harris explained. “If you think about it, Hugh always views women as either sexual objects or big-butt bimbos. I feel like over the course of my relationship with Hugh I’ve become more than just a sexy thing to look at and less than an actual person. In other words, I look just like a sex doll.
“Despite this, however, Ms Harris claims that her behaviour towards Mr Hefner in recent months will in no way be representative of how she treats future men who date her. “I’m going to make sure to give my partners their boundaries when we’re together,” said Ms Harris. “That’s why from now on I’m going to keep my pants on during sex. And if a partner tries to touch me in the wrong places I’ll immediately tell them that they can’t do that.”
