Hugh Hefner’s widow, Crystal Hefner, 39, engaged 7 years after Playboy founder’s death

Fiancée next door!

Hugh Hefner’s widow is ready to walk down the aisle again.

Crystal Hefner, 39, is engaged to James Ward after one year of dating — and seven years after the Playboy founder died at 91.

The marine biologist popped the question with a six-carat diamond ring on Friday, April 25, after spending a month in Africa to celebrate their first anniversary.

Hefner confirmed the engagement and shared her vintage sparkler in an interview with Us Weekly published Friday, May 2.

Ward got down on one knee at the former Playboy model’s home in Hawaii on the seaside deck he built her.
