Williams had a fresh start as Hefner went on to start Playboy magazine and became a man about town. While Hefner courted publicity and the media, Williams strove to live a quiet life.

However, as the first wife of the founder of the popular magazine, Millie Williams continues to pique interests worldwide. Many often ask if the former celebrity spouse is still alive and what she has been up to. Here’s everything we know.

How Old Is Millie Williams?

The beautiful Millie Williams is 97 years old. She was born Mildred “Millie” Williams on March 10, 1926, in Chicago, Illinois, USA. According to reports, she grew up with her parents and had a decent childhood. However, she has not revealed the identity of her parents, and there are no details regarding her siblings. 

In addition, details about her elementary education elude the media. However, reports suggest Williams had her high school education at a local school in her hometown. After graduating high school, she attended Northwestern University, where she studied sociology before dropping out after the first semester for unknown reasons.

Since Williams rose to fame because of her marriage to Hefner, not much about her early life is in the limelight. On the other hand, her husband, Hefner, was born on April 9, 1926, to his parents, Glenn Lucius Hefner and Grace Caroline, in Chicago, Illinois. 

How Did Millie Williams and Hugh Hefner Meet?

According to reports, Millie Williams and Hugh Hefner first met when they were students at Northwestern University. However, the two became close after she dropped out of school. While it is unclear what year it was, Williams and Hefner became close and began dating. One thing led to the other, and the lovebirds decided to take their romantic relationship to the next level.

When Did Williams and Hugh Hefner Tie the Knot?

Millie Williams married her college sweetheart, Hugh Hefner, on June 25, 1949. At their wedding, the lovebirds were 23 and excited for the life ahead. However, like most marriages, theirs also had its struggles. Williams and her celebrity husband enjoyed marital bliss for about ten years before divorcing on March 18, 1959.

Why Did Millie Williams Divorce Hugh Hefner?

Millie Williams and Hugh Hefner’s marriage broke down due to infidelity. According to reports, the former celebrity spouse had an affair before the couple married. While Hefner was in the army, Williams reportedly had a relationship with an unknown man. Consequently, guilt over her infidelity led her to allow Hefner to have extramarital relationships after their marriage. 

After their divorce, Hefner commented on how devastating the news of his wife’s affair had been in an interview. The renowned magazine publisher disclosed that he abstained from sexual relations with other women and saved himself for his wife. He said, 

“I had literally saved myself for my wife, but after we had sex, she told me that she’d had an affair. That was the most devastating moment in my life. My wife was more sexually experienced than I was. After that, I always sensed that the other guy was in bed with us, too.”

Where Are Hugh Hefner and Millie Williams’ Children? 

Hugh Hefner’s first wife, Millie Williams, is a mother of two kids from her marriage with the late Playboy founder, Hefner. The former couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, Christie Hefner, on November 8, 1952. They gave birth to their second child and son, David Hefner, three years later, on August 30, 1955.

Christie attended New Trier High School before attending National Music Camp at Interlochen. Afterward, she attended Brandeis University, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in English and American literature. 

After her graduation, Christie took over the family business. She previously served as the CEO and chairperson of Playboy Enterprises, Inc. from 1988 until 2008. On the other hand, her brother, David, studied film at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and dabbled in computer consulting. 

In addition, David reportedly produced “Forgotten Pills,” an independent film that won the Grand Jury prize for Best Feature at the 2010 Dances with Films Festival. However, Millie Williams’ children keep their personal life away from the media.

Did Millie Williams Remarry?

Yes, she did. After divorcing Hefner, Millie Williams married Edwin Gunn. However, this marriage didn’t last long, as they parted ways a few years later. Similarly, after parting ways with Williams, Hugh Hefner married 1989’s Playmate of the Year, Kimberley Conrad. 

The duo tied the knot in 1989, and their marriage resulted in two kids, Cooper Hefner, born on September 4, 1991, and Marston Hefner, born on April 9, 1990. However, the couple parted ways in 2010 for unknown reasons.

Afterward, Hugh Hefner tied the knot with Crystal Harris. The couple married in 2012 and were together until he died in 2017.

Where Is Hugh Hefner’s First Wife? 

Hugh Hefner’s first wife is alive and kicking. However, Williams has mostly avoided the spotlight in recent years. Hence, details regarding her whereabouts and what she has been up to in recent years elude the media. Like Millie Williams, Fiona Loudon is another former celebrity spouse who has piqued fans’ interest.
