Crystal Harris

Crystal Harris is an American model, singer, and Playmate. She was the Playboy Playmate of the Month for December 2009. On December 24, 2010, she became engaged to Hugh Hefner (then age 84), to become his third wife. Harris broke off the engagement on June 14, 2011, five days before their planned wedding.

Harris' parents were British entertainers, who were working at the England-themed amusement park in Lake Havasu City, Arizona when she was born. After Crystal's birth they returned to England, before returning for good to the United States and settling in San Diego, California, where she and her two elder sisters grew up. Harris was first exposed to the entertainment industry through her late father, Ray Harris, who was a singer and songwriter.

Harris attended La Jolla High School and San Diego State University, majoring in psychology, where she started modelling. It was during this period that she came to the attention of the Playboy organization.
