Hugh Hefner’s widow Crystal Harris has finally found love again, four years after the death of her Playboy legend husband, with a new boyfriend named Nathan Levi.
Crystal, 34, was pictured on vacation in with Nathan, 32, an LA-based spaceship engineer, as they relaxed at the five-star Casa de Mita hotel in Punta de Mita, Mexico on Monday.
The former Playboy Playmate – who was married to Hugh from December 31, 2012, until his death aged 91 on September 27, 2017 – looked stunning in a yellow bikini as she packed on the PDA with her younger beau.

She couldn’t keep her hands off her shirtless new man, who showed off his slim physique as he quite literally swept Crystal off her feet while at the beach.
The loved-up pair were seen kissing one another as they strolled along by the ocean, went for dinner, and took a boat out sailing, while seemingly on cloud nine with one another.
Nathan is an engineer who builds spaceships and has led a team of specialists who successfully launched Elon Musk’s SpaceX Dragon in March this year.

According to a source close to the happy couple, the pair have been dating ‘around four months’ and it’s getting serious.
‘He’s smart, caring, and makes her feel secure,’ says a close friend of Crystal’s. ‘He’s very kind and gentle with her. There are so many things to like about him. She is the happiest she’s been in years.’
The insider adds that Nathan won her over by ‘taking her out flying on their first date. He flies planes and wants to be an astronaut.’

‘It’s been hard for her to find someone who measures up to the legend of Hugh Hefner, and this guy seems to be it,’ the source also explains. ‘He’s an amazing guy and all her friends adore him.’
Crystal became one of Hugh’s girlfriends in 2009, the year she turned 23, and although they initially planned on marrying in 2011, they broke up but ended up rekindling their romance, marrying on New Year’s Eve in 2012.
The model has confessed she’s adopted a more ‘down-to-earth’ lifestyle after Hugh died, trading in stilettos for sneakers and makeup for a more low-key regimen.
