Kimberley Conrad (born as Kimberley Conradt; August 6, 1962) is an American model and actress. Conrad was chosen as Playboy's Playmate of the Month in January, 1988 and became Playmate of the Year 1989. Conrad was Hugh Hefner's second wife and is mother to two of his four children.[1][2]

Life as Mrs. Hefner

Conrad marriage to Playboy founder Hugh Hefner in July 1989 sparked worldwide media attention. The comic strip Doonesbury referred to the event as the belated end of the 1970s. The Hefners have two sons together: Marston Glenn Hefner (shares birthday with his father: April 9, 1990) and Cooper Bradford Hefner (September 4, 1991). Conrad transformed the Playboy Mansion into a conservative household for her children.[3]

In 1989, just prior to marrying Hefner, Conrad was knighted by Prince Frederick von Anhalt also known as Robert Hans Lichtenberg, the adult adopted son of Princess Marie-Auguste of Anhalt who was daughter-in-law of German Emperor Wilhelm II.[4]

After nine years of marriage, Conrad and Hefner separated although remained nominally married. Hugh Hefner was quoted, "I would've been happy to divorce her when we separated, but she wanted to remain married for our boys."[5] Conrad then moved into a house next door to the Playboy Mansion. After an 11-year separation, Hefner filed for divorce stating irreconcilable differences in September 2009 after his youngest child turned 18;[5] the divorce was finalized in March 2010.[6]

Personal life

Conrad was born in Alabama and raised in Nevada and British Columbia. Conrad is a vegetarian and has worked with PETA.[7]
