‘I Will Feel Eternally Grateful To Have Been By His Side’-Crystal Hefner As She Mourns Husband

Hugh Hefner’s wife Crystal is finally speaking up following her husband’s death at the age of 91.

Speaking to People, she confirmed he was buried in a private funeral ceremony which was attended by family members.

According to her, he taught her so many things she will hold on to forever and she still can’t believe he’s gone.

He was an American hero. A pioneer. A kind and humble soul who opened up his life and home to the world. I felt how much he loved me. I loved him so much. I am so grateful, He gave me life. He gave me direction. He taught me kindness. I will feel eternally grateful to have been by his side, holding his hand, and telling him how much I love him. He changed my life, he saved my life. He made me feel loved every single day. He was a beacon to the world, a force unlike anything else. There never has and never will be another Hugh M. Hefner. I join the world in mourning. I thank you for all of your condolences, to the people leaving sentiments at the front gate, we see you and grieve with you.

The couple started dating in 2009 and eventually tied the knot in 2012 at the Playboy mansion.
