Wedding's Off for Hugh Hefner: 'Crystal Has Had a Change of Heart'

By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 14th 2011 02:45PM

The third time was anything but a charm for Hugh Hefner, whose wedding to Crystal Harris has been called off. "The wedding is off," Hefner glumly told his Twitter followers Tuesday. "Crystal has had a change of heart." According to TMZ, the 25-year-old model left the Playboy Mansion over the weekend after having a fight with the publishing mogul, 60 years her senior.

Multiple sources told the site that Harris moved her things out of the mansion and that the wedding, set for Saturday June 18, was canceled. It would have been Hefner's third marriage.

Harris, who earlier in the day promoted a comedic video that revolves around her relationship, released a statement on her website to explain her decision.

"After much deep reflection and thought I have decided to end my engagement with Hef," she wrote. "I have the utmost respect for Hef and wish him the best going forward. I hope the media will give each of us the privacy we deserve during this time."

Hefner didn't hint at any domestic disruptions on Saturday when he tweeted to a fan in England the details of the wedding. "The wedding is next Saturday (June 18)," he wrote. "And airs on Lifetime on July 13." He was also a major presence at the Playboy Jazz Festival, where he was spotted on Saturday with Harris on the festival grounds.

Harris has not been silent on Twitter either, but has focused her words on promoting a new single, 'Club Queen.' On Monday -- that's after she left him, according to TMZ -- Hefner helped his fiancee promote her music career with another tweet to his 638,000 followers.

Hefner, 85, and Harris, 25, began dating in January 2009 and became engaged around Christmas. The blond bombshell was slated to wear a pink wedding gown when she walked down the aisle in the backyard of the Playboy Mansion and, according to the couple, the nuptials were to be a colorful affair not unlike a "garden party." About 300 people were invited.

One of Hefner's former girlfriends, Holly Madison, expressed concern early on in the engagement that the couple was moving too fast and that Harris could potentially hurt her ex-beau.

"I think it's possible Crystal could break Hef's heart," Madison said. "They could end up divorcing, and she could take half his money."

Hef was previously married to Mildred Williams and Kimberly Conrad.

Harris lampooned the 60-year age gap with Hefner in a Funny or Die video released just today. In it, she promotes the 'The Playboy App' for smartphones that will make you "knowledgeable about things older people are interested in, which is helpful when you're dating Hugh Hefner." She sent a link to the video to her 175,000 Twitter followers, even though she had already left Hefner.

She had to have someone read it to her...

By colleen

That little clip would have been cute if she had even one ounce of acting ability! She looks good though.

By Raejean

I'm sorry to say that's exactly what crossed my mind. Maybe she's decided she's gotten all the mileage she's going to get out of this relationship.

By whocares111

Troubles in paradise, who cares?

By mcc1cam

Absolutely right! Everyone has a 'dealbreaker,' and she found hers!

By just sayin...

Boy, dating for almost 2 years?? Heck, she should have stuck it out for 6 months more and she would have been a rich widow!! LOL

Nah, not the pre-nup. She probably got tired of being a prostitute.

are you implying that a an innocent 25 year old aspiring celebrity would use a famous 85 year old millionaire just to further her career? Why, that's ridiculous

By penny

who wants to marry someone so much older? what is wrong with the old man? he thinks he is in love again? c'on. I know the young one wants his money, but what about the old one? his sex is not good any more, his skin is ready to drop out of his body, he looks like an old grandpa, and any of you think he could stay up for her? geez. don't tell me his heart is broken, he broke a lot of women's hearts. it is good this happen to him. ha ha, i am sorry i have to say something not very nice.
