Hugh Hefner to divorce second wife after 11-year split

Playboy boss wants to dissolve marriage to Kimberly Conrad

Hugh Hefner has dedicated his life to the appreciation of women's charms

Hugh Hefner has filed for divorce from second wife Kimberly Conrad – 11 years after they first separated.

The Playboy founder, 83, has cited irreconcilable differences in court papers in LA.

Hugh - who is currently dating Crystal Harris, 23, and twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon, 19 – has decided to disolve the marriage following a legal dispute with Kimberly.

‘I would've been happy to divorce her when we separated, but she wanted to remain married for our boys,’ he says.

Hugh and Kimberly, 47, tied the knot in July 1989 and have sons Marston, 19, and Cooper, 19, together.

Although they split in 1998, they are legally still married.

‘Mr Hefner's divorce filing speak for itself,' Kimberly's lawyer Hillel Chodos tells People. 'We'll respond in due course.’
