Crystal Harris, 31, married Hefner in 2012 in a New Year’s Eve ceremony that took place at the infamous Playboy mansion.
Harris is reported to have signed an “ironclad” prenuptial contract, which prohibits her from inheriting any of Hefner’s $43m (£32m) fortune, a source revealed to Us Weekly shortly after the couple tied the knot.
Instead, the original Playboy’s assets will be split between his four adult children, the University of Southern California film school, and several charities.
The two were originally set to marry in June 2011, however, five days before the ceremony was due to take place, Harris called it off.
Before they successfully managed to rekindle things, Harris went on The Howard Stern show to talk about the break up and admitted that she was "not turned on by Hef."
However, she later publicly apologised for her comments and told Us that the two were hugely excited about their impending nuptials in the lead up to the big day.
The former Playmate of the month was Hefner's third wife and slowly moved away from modelling during their five-year-long marriage, to pursue a career in blogging.
Though she hasn’t posted on Crystalhefner.com since 2016, she describes herself on the aesthetically-pleasing site as an “adventure and fashion blogger.”
Recent posts include “a night on the River Seine in Paris” and “tourist for a day in London, England,” where the American beauty uploaded photographs of Big Ben, the London Eye and the view from her Airbnb.
