The Many Loves Of Hugh Hefner
Lifelong ladies man Hugh Hefner finally married Crystal Harris on New Year's Eve. In honor of their recent nuptials, let's take a look at the other ladies in Hef's past. posted
Playboy founder Hugh Hefner has had countless lovers over the years — some more notable than others. Here's a chronological history of the wives, girlfriends, and Bunnies who found themselves in his bed. Because Hef has never been a one-woman man, there's a lot of overlap.

1964's Playmate of the Year Donna Michelle was only 17 when she first posed nude in Playboy. She died in 2004.

After moving into the Playboy Mansion, Sondra was lucky enough to be one of the "Singing Playmates."

18. Holly Madison (2003-2008)
Another one of the Girls Next Door, Holly broke up with Hef because he wouldn't put a ring on it. She has since moved on to other reality TV endeavors.
19. Kendra Wilkinson (2004-2009)
Kendra lasted longer than the other Girls Next Door, but she and Hugh eventually parted ways. Now going by her married name Kendra Baskett, her current series is Kendra on Top.
20. Kristina and Karissa Shannon (2009-2010)
