Crystal Hefner Engaged to James Ward After One Year of Dating: A Stunning Proposal in Hawaii!

by

Crystal Hefner has officially left the Playboy mansion behind.

Being a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but share this thrilling news! The enchanting lady who was once married to the iconic Hugh Hefner (from 2012 until his passing in 2017) has taken another significant step in her life. On April 25, at her stunning Hawaiian abode, she accepted a heartfelt proposal from her beloved partner of one year, James Ward, a dashing 41-year-old gentleman. They graciously confirmed this exciting news to none other than Us Weekly!

In 2024, when Crystal crossed paths with James via common acquaintances, her encounter with the marine biologist’s plan took her by surprise in a completely unanticipated manner.

In her interview with Us Weekly on May 2, she expressed it felt like coming full circle when James surprised her. She confessed he had skillfully concealed a spiral staircase and a path leading to an exquisite wooden platform built atop a breathtaking cliffside overlooking the sea.

She went on saying, “That very location reminded me of the tranquil picnic we shared a year prior; it held a special meaning for us. Unbeknownst to me, he had been planning to transform it into an everlasting token. I assumed we were merely going for a stroll, but when I beheld the flowers, heartfelt messages, and the vast ocean before us, I instinctively sensed that an extraordinary event was imminent.

As a lifestyle aficionado, I share their exciting news: this loving duo intends to savor their engagement for some time before taking the next step in 2026. Crystal, one half of the pair, envisions an intimate nuptial celebration that brims with love, significance, and profound connection.

As your go-to lifestyle guide, let me share an experience that’s close to my heart: I, much like James, decided to create a memorable moment for Crystal. Four days before her 39th birthday, and fresh off our African adventure marking our first-year milestone together, I led her to a special location with a trail of handwritten notes. Initially, she thought it was just a birthday surprise, but little did she know that the big question was waiting at the end!

She admitted, “I was truly touched by it, as it ranks among the kindest gestures I’ve ever received.

Before agreeing to be with James, Crystal had been previously married to Hugh. However, their marriage ended when Hugh passed away at the age of 91. It wasn’t until seven years later that the ex-model admitted she had never truly been in love with him.

In an interview with Francesca Amiker for TopMob News in 2024, she openly acknowledged, “It’s challenging to maintain love when the other person desires multiple partners and seems primarily focused on their own desires.

However, she also shared that had worked to move forward from the experience.

She expressed that she is currently at a significantly improved state. She conveyed that while she recognizes herself as an ongoing project, she now feels genuinely liberated.
