Hugh Hefner’s “number one” girlfriend, Crystal Harris, 23, grew up in San Diego, California with two older sisters. She was born an American citizen to British parents in Lake Havasu, Arizona, home of the famous London Bridge. The family moved back to England shortly after her birth but returned to America to live when she was 7 years old. While in San Diego, Crystal attended La Hoya High School and majored in psychology at San Diego State University. She is also a licensed real estate agent.

The gorgeous blonde first met Hef at his famous Halloween party in 2008 and quickly began spending more time at the Playboy Mansion. After a few months of getting to know each other, Crystal started dating Hef and moved into the Mansion.

Crystal is an advocate for animal rights and loves spending time with her dog Charlie, a King Charles Cavelier. She enjoys traveling, good food, comedy shows and listening to all genres of music. Crystal has even started taking singing lessons, inspired by her father who sang professionally. She would love to one day produce and possibly even record some of his unpublished music.

She stays in shape by working out five days a week and loves to hike and rollerblade in her spare time. Crystal has been keeping busy filming for the upcoming season of E!’s hit reality show The Girls Next Door. She is also featured in the latest installment of commercials for the popular video game “Guitar Hero,” where she appears alongside Hef and his other two girlfriends, Karissa and Kristina Shannon.
