When you think of the late Hugh Hefner, you probably don’t envision him teaching his son how to ride a bike or reading his daughter a bedtime story. After all, he’s the creator of Playboy magazine. How could he have time to raise kids when he had so many playmates to keep an eye on?
But believe it or not, Hugh Hefner is a father of four. So, who are his children and what’s it like being the spawn of Mr. Hefner? Keep scrolling to find out.
Hugh Hefner’s first two children, Christie and David Hefner, came from his marriage to Mildred Williams.
While Hef gave off single-man vibes, he was actually married three times (although, he was said to have multiple girlfriends at all times). Putting that aside, his first wife was Mildred “Millie” Williams — and by his account, she was the first and only woman he had ever slept with at the time.
They married in 1949 prior to Hugh releasing the first Playboy issue. They welcomed daughter Christie Hefner in 1952. Three years later, they welcomed a son named David. They divorced in 1959.
From photos, Christie appeared to be closer with her father than David was. Not only that but she was involved in the business.
Per The Sun, she graduated from Brandeis University in 1974 with her bachelor’s degree in English and American Literature. Then in 1982, she accepted the role of Playboy Enterprises President. In 1988, she became CEO and chairman of the board. But after roughly two decades, she stepped down from the position in 2009.
