Hugh Hefner's Christmas was extra, extra jolly this year: He's engaged again!

The Playboy founder, 84, is engaged to Crystal Harris, his 24-year-old girlfriend and Playmate, a Playboy rep confirms to UsMagazine.com.

PHOTOS: See Hugh and Crystal's Christmas card!

Hefner first Tweeted about it on Sunday. "When I gave Crystal the ring, she burst into tears," the Girls Next Door star wrote. "This is the happiest Christmas weekend in memory...I got what I was hoping for for Christmas...Crystal's love."

To make his news absolutely clear, the mogul then added: "Yes, the ring I gave Crystal is an engagement ring. I didn't mean to make a mystery out of it. A very merry Christmas to all."

PHOTOS: Can you believe these couples' age differences?

It will be the third marriage for famous bachelor Hefner. He wed first wife Mildred in 1949 (they have grown children Christie, 58, and David, 55) before divorcing in 1959. In 1989, he walked down the aisle with Playmate of the Year Kimberley Conrad, and they went on to have sons Marston, 10, and Cooper, 9. The duo's divorce was finalized last year.

    He's digging for vagina "va-jayjay". She's digging for gold I say so what. This sort of thing has been happening for eons. Women like a man with good resources and good breeding genes and men like a beautiful woman.

    Holly spent years with you and loved you deeply. You will be dissapointed in this outcome, if you actually tie the knot. WRONG PARTNER. If you really want love go back to Holly.

  • December 27, 2010 - 11:49am Shannon Reiste Larson

    Boo hoo! Hef go and ask the girl that REALLY loves you to marry you, HOLLY. I bet she would still say yes. You were her life, she wanted to have your baby and be your wife. If you are ready to marry to again, go talk to HOLLY!!!!!

    R.I.P. Teena Marie. Come on US Magazine, create a page for fans to mourn the loss of a great singer.

    Oh, no no no. Don't get it twisted. This Foxy Lady is NOT being exploited. Are you kidding? SHE IS The ONE DOING THE EXPLOITING. She's rolling in the cash using the physical assets Mother Nature gave her. She's no victim. This dangerous beauty is a predator. Watch out men; beautiful women are notorious for beguiling you into moving mountains for them. Don't be jealous, you bunch of Sour Grapes. And anyone who calls her a gold-digger. So what? Who doesn't like money. Get over it. He's a vagina "va-jayjay" digger then.

    At his age, he should spend more time in church, than "in bed" congratulations though.

    I always thought he would come to his senses and get back together with Holly and then marry her.

    I always thought he was going to come to his senses, get back together with Holly and marry her.

    While she does look older than her age - around 40. She's actually only 24 and he's 60 years older than her. He looks like a total buffoon. They're both disgusting.

    He is a disgusting pervert, borderline pedo who has exploited women for years... There are a few tell-alls which explains what happens in Hef's bedroom from prior girlfriends/playmates. If you think he is classy or is respectful in any fashion - you need your head examined. Of course this girl is going after his wallet. There is absolutely no other reason a 24 year old would hook up with an 84 year old. The Shannon twins & Kendra were all barely 18 years old when they hooked up with Hef. Apparently he doesn't realize how absolutely ridiculous and laughable he looks. Wait until he dies - the fireworks will really start. The war over his estate will make the Anna Nicole Smith & J Howard Marshall battle - pale in comparison.

    Hef your a very smart man. You have always done it your way and don't stop. This girl is a women! She is 24! She knows what she is doing and it's ok. Just be a happy guy. If i was your age i would not want some old women hanging around my beautiful house either. Just be happy. Screw the media and whoever you want. JUST BE A HAPPY MAN!

    Which is a roundabout way of â??Drizzleâ?? describing how she able to imagine she was canoodling not to a man in his 80's but a man somewhere near her age where biology and the laws of nature would have her whiffing. But who needs biology and sensibility when you have legacy, power, fortunes and the ability to convince girls who would normally be your great grandchildren that making out with grandpa and his ivory tentacles is an option they canâ??t pass up this Holiday (Hollywood) weekend. http://scallywagandvagabond./2010/12/this-year-for-xmas-hugh-hefner-wants-you-to-know-he-ended-up-with-a-24-year-old-bride-to-be/

    publicity stunt. he's got that pre-nup rolled up in his wool socks.

  • December 26, 2010 - 11:19pm Jo DeChenne Barnes

    She looks 40.

  • December 26, 2010 - 11:07pm Alexa Gold

    He should marry Barbie Benton( yes she's married... but she's still in love with him). That would be a fitting ending...something people would respect...but no, he has to go and be an idiot...again.

    I say good for them if that's what makes them happy! Hef is no dummy, he's done the multiple girlfriend thing and the marriage thing many times in his life. If you ever watched any of the Girls Next Door shows you can see it's not just for publicity for these relationships. There are actual feelings involved. Sure, it's unconventional and very different from the normal traditional relationship progression, but who are we as outsiders to pass judgement?? If they are both happy then why not go for it?? Non celebrities get married for a lot of reasons much dumber than theirs!
