Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris, the Playboy mogul’s ex-fiance who famously left him days before they were scheduled to tie the knot, are a couple once again. Although Hefner states that he may have dodged a bullet after Harris’ departure in 2010, the pair are officially dating. How did this particular piece of news come about, you ask? How do we know for sure that Hefner and Harris are back together? Twitter, of course! Here’s the tweet in question:
@hughhefner and I are back together. Yes I am his #1 girl again. Yes we are happy. Hope that clears up any confusion! xo
This, of course, is an entirely different song than the one Harris was singing shortly after their split. Following their break-up, Harris paid a visit to Howard Stern’s radio program, where she admitted to Sirius XM listeners across the country that sex with Hefner lasted two minutes. She later added that she wasn’t physically attracted to Hef, leading one to ponder the reasons why, exactly, the two have decided to rekindle their romance.
Harris, however, wasn’t the only one sharing stories with the media. Hefner was guilty of it, as well. The publisher went on record with Entertainment Weekly, stating, “Quite frankly, I don’t know what I was thinking about. I think my natural state is single. I’ve tried marriage twice, not successfully. These were not the happiest times of my life.”
If you find yourself pondering the reasons why the couple has reunited, then you’re not alone. Have a quick look at some Twitter reactions to the Hefner/Harris story below.
