Hugh Hefner files for divorce 11 years after split
Playboy chief Hugh Hefner has filed for divorce from former Playmate Kimberley Conrad – 11 years after they broke up.
Hefner has filed documents in LA County Superior Court to dissolve the marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences”, and is asking the judge to set spousal support at $20,000 a month.
He says he has already given Conrad close to $12m since they separated in January 1998.
Hefner had been supporting Conrad and their two sons, who have been living in the house next door to the Playboy Mansion. But earlier this year Conrad sued Hefner after he sold the house, claiming he owes her more than $5m.
Hefner, who has assets of more than $43m, told celebrity website TMZ.com he decided to officially break it off with Conrad because of the lawsuit.
