Crystal Harris Says ‘I Do’ Again — Without the Mansion

Crystal Harris just traded the Playboy Mansion drama for island bliss. The former Playboy model married entrepreneur James Ward on April 2 in a romantic seaside ceremony after two years of dating. And honestly? Good for her.

This is Harris’s second marriage — her first was to Hugh Hefner back in 2012. That lasted six years before she filed for divorce in 2015, citing irreconcilable differences. Since then, she’s kept her personal life surprisingly private, which makes this new love story feel genuinely fresh.

Ward, who owns a successful tech startup, proposed during a sunset dinner last year. Friends say the couple wanted an intimate celebration away from the Hollywood spotlight, which is why they chose an island location for the big day. No massive guest list. No paparazzi circus. Just the two of them and their closest people.

Harris has been vocal about finding peace post-Hefner, focusing on her wellness brand and staying out of the tabloid grind. Marrying Ward in such a low-key way seems on-brand for where she’s at in her life. Different chapter, different vibe, different guy — and apparently, a lot happier.
