Crystal Hefner, the former Playboy model, is planning her second wedding.

    She is marrying James Ward, a marine biologist, who popped the question in April 2025.

    The couple started dating in 2024 and got engaged after a romantic trip to Africa.

    Ward proposed to Hefner in a very personal and thoughtful way.

    He built a deck on her Hawaii home, where they had their first picnic.

    Hefner was completely surprised, as she had no clue about the proposal.

    The deck was filled with handwritten notes and flowers, making the moment even more special.

    Hefner's first marriage was quite different from this one.

    She was married to Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy, from 2012 until his death in 2017.

    Her first wedding felt more like a public event than a personal celebration.

    This time, Hefner wants a simple, heartfelt ceremony that reflects her true feelings.

    The couple plans to enjoy their engagement for a while before tying the knot in 2026.

    Hefner moved to Hawaii after Hugh Hefner's death and has since found love again.
