Hugh Hefner Says Ex Cheated On Him

Hugh Hefner has accused his estranged wife of cheating on him before they were separated as he files for divorce 11 years after the pair split. The Playboy boss decided to end his union with Kimberly Conrad once and for all over a dispute about his decision to sell the house next to his famous Holmby Hills mansion, where his sons and ex once lived. And now it seems the once harmonious split is about to get messy. After officially filing for divorce last week, Hefner now claims his soon-to-be ex-wife cheated on him. He's not naming names, but Hef tells TMZ.com that while he was faithful during his marriage, Conrad cheated on him "early in the relationship". The publisher reveals he knows who the other man is. Despite the alleged affair, Hefner and Conrad stayed married and when they eventually split in 1998, the Playboy boss agreed not to seek a divorce for the sake of the couple's young kids.He also agreed to honor the couple's pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, adding, "I have been generous to a fault." But when Conrad sued him over his plans to sell the property next door, he decided enough was enough. Meanwhile, the divorce proceedings indicate reports suggesting Hefner is running out of money are way off the mark - the aging lothario is worth more than $40 million. Earlier this year it was reported British tycoon Richard Branson was considering launching a bid for Playboy, amid rumours the adult media empire was losing money and Hefner was keen to cash in and retire. The report proved untrue, and financial records in the divorce papers show he has vast assets and an monthly income of $290,580. Hefner pays himself a salary of $116,667 per month from Playboy alone, and he has additional income through property investments and share dividends. The 83 year old is asking a judge to approve spousal support payments of $20,000 a month, claiming he has paid his ex almost $12 million since they split in 1998.

Hugh Hefner Can’t Tell Twin Lovers Apart

Playboy boss Hugh Hefner is already having trouble with his new girlfriends, twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon - he can't tell them apart.

Hefner hooked up with the 20 year olds after long-term lovers Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson all flew the nest from his Playboy Mansion last year .

But the aging Lothario is already finding downsides to dating identical twins.

He tells Fox News, "I have one little trick, one has a little mark (on her neck).

"Other than that, I don't know."

Hugh Hefner Learned About Love From The Movies

The 82-year-old Playboy founder – who is now dating 19-year-old twins
Karissa and Kristina Shannon since his split from Playmates Holly Madison
and Kendra Wilkinson – had a loveless childhood and resorted to visiting the
cinema in his quest to find out more about his emotions.

He said: “Everything I learned about love, I learned from the movies. The
reality is because I was not shown affection, I escaped into an alternate
universe, and it came right out of the movies. Love for me is defined almost
exclusively in terms of romantic love as defined by the films of my
childhood.

“The movies, other than family, were the major influence of my childhood. I
was in a very typical Midwestern, Methodist home with a lot of repression
and not much demonstrative expression of emotion. My escape was the darkened
theatre.”

The aging lothario also claims his childhood passion for movies heavily
influenced his taste in women.

He explained: “I think my fascination with blonds is directly connected to
the impact the platinum blonds had in the movies of the 1930s. Jean Harlow,
Alice Faye, all of those Busby Berkeley showgirls. You can't go wrong. Well,
you probably could, but what fun."

Hugh – who will give Kendra away when she marries Hank Baskett later this
year – also revealed one of the things he is most proud of is staying
friends with his exes.

The twice-divorced media mogul added to the Los Angeles Times newspaper:
“Brian Grazer, who is working on a movie about me, made a comment that I was
the only man who had made love to over a thousand women and they all still
liked him.

“And I do take some pride, in fact, that I remain friends with the majority
of former wives and girlfriends. I am a romantic."
