Crystal Harris PHOTOS: Playboy Playmate Engaged To Hugh Hefner

First Posted: 12/26/10 06:36 AM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 07:20 PM ET

Crystal Harris is engaged to Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.

You can't accuse Hef of marrying somebody half his age. More like a third.

The bride is 24. The groom is 84.

She was Playmate of the Month in December 2009.

Hef became a free man after divorcing wife Kimberley Conrad this year. Not that marriage ever slowed down his dating life. He divorced his first wife, Mildred Williams, in 1959. This Friday, more than half a century later, he tweeted:

After the movie tonight, Crystal & I exchanged gifts. I gave Crystal a ring. A truly memorable Christmas Eve.

The following day, he clarified:

When I gave Crystal the ring, she burst into tears. This is the happiest Christmas weekend in memory.

And:

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.

She retweeted that last one. Ahh, modern love.

Wow...how freaking desperate for a career can u be? She "doesn't notice the age diff?" Really? She's gorgeous etc...Of course there a thousands of her type around the world especially in larger cities --- but dang. He of course has never worried about dignity EVER!! But her dignity? Sheesh...how embarrassing. Of course she's not doing it for the money....it's love of course...

Geeze! And people yammer on about what Joe Paterno is doing at age 84.

At least Joe can still put up a STIFF defense.

My first thought was "She's doing it for the money."

Followed immediately after by my second thought, which was -

"Damn, Hef looks great for being 84..."

I think it's obvious what his fountain of youth is ;)

60 years difference...his wealth has nothing to do with this ..right??? I mean, he has such a great personality....age does not matter. She would marry him if he was the guy down the street with his social security check and Medicare card. Ha Ha Ha

I'm sorry, I'm still laughing out loud.
"This is the happiest Christmas weekend in memory". At 84 Hef, how many Christmases do you remember? (Okay, that was mean)

If he's lucky he might still remember Christmas 2010.

I read an article not too long ago that said that Hefner is having financial problems. The famous Playboy Mansion was described as being "dark, shabby, threadbare, seedy, moldy and smelly."

What a situation for a young woman, only 24, to walk into. Depressing.

Really beautiful that people can find love regardless of ages.

He gave her a ring..she can give him CPR...or maybe a nice hot water bottle...I'm sorry, I know some of you think this is great. I think she just became one of the world's most well-paid escorts.

Not something that I would aspire for my 24 year old daughter.
Does anyone else agree?

I hope that Hef lives to be 150 and dies broke, having spent his fortune and enjoyed every penny.

Good for him. Nice to see women who don't, continue to compromise there lives, by worrying about age. The last barrier to intelligence dating, in finding a great mate. I went out with a great women not too long ago, then she realized I was "2" years older than her,"standard". What a loser, glad I found out her predudices, before I got too attached. Are women still to attached to their mothers influence, to date people of different ages? What gives. I have dated women of all ages, far younger to older, and never regreted the wonderful times we had. And still friends with most of them. Get over this stupid compromise, enjoy and live your lives.
