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.

I it me or doesnt everyone see this man as a sicko, what's wrong with this man that he only likes little girls with grown women ages...this man is 70 something years old and only dates 20 year olds, where is these women's family, If I were her dad I would beat the living F out of him for thinking such a sick thought, man I can understand adults can love people of different ages, but it seem this man only like 20year old and this is sick for a 70 year old person to do, I think if he could get 12-16 leagally he would so he settle on adult girls, he is real sick, now what is it that these young women see in him, this man has had the best cult ever, he should be up there with Manson, and all David C, and all the other cultleaders, all he did was hide behind a magazine and a career, he is truly sick.

do these old fools realy think they are still studs, or do they figure since I can afford it lets give it a bang......if that is possible. Certainly her only interest could be in the cash, even that was not enough to keep her at least until she hooked him

By Dani

This was kinda creepy anyway - he IS old enough to be her GRANDFATHER! I agree - the pre-nup was most likely NOT to her liking! Whatever - I still think she's a 'twisted 'lil sister' marrying someone that old! Money or NO money - not in a million years!

By TurnOffTheBoobTube

Whew! Thank the non-existant sky spook that Hugh dodged this bullet!

By Laura Lynn

Heff should have married Holly when he had the chance. He blew it BIG TIME!

By bob parks

Silly old goober.

By bubba_babowski

hef knows she likes to play music but i dont think she was happy with the 85 year old organ he gave her.

By Hump

I don,t image Hef is crying. He can have a hundred more as good or better before the sun goes down. She,s just a easy piece who had her few minutes of fame.

By Lori LI

that wasn't funny.

By ezeeryder

OH WELL SHE WAS TOO OLD FOR HEF ANYWAY. HE NEEDS ONE WHERE HE CAN CHANGE HER DAIPERS!!!!!

I think Betty White is available,and she's older than him. LOL

By Jilly

Betty would never stoop that low!

By mer

He couldn't have really believed this girl cared about anything more than his money and publicity, could he? I always thought he was a pretty smart guy. Maybe he'll go back to Holly, or maybe he'll find a younger girl who wants the publicity/money more than her dignity. Seems to be a popular thing to do nowadays.

By Pat Bunnell

I am sure it has happened but I think his family should look closely at his personial affairs. He made his business, ran it and we of his genaration enjoyed it even if we denided watching it. lol To see some greedy young woman demand a part of what he built is discusting. Let him live out his life in the way he enjoyed it, just watch the people that surround him.

By jckfmsincty

She's too old for him.
