Crystal Hefner received overwhelming support after announcing her new relationship with marine biologist James Ward. She expressed her gratitude for the love and care shown by people and revealed that sharing her memoir, “Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself,” earlier this year played a significant role in her healing process after enduring an emotionally abusive marriage to Hugh Hefner. She is grateful to be in a positive place in her current relationship with Ward, whom she describes as a protector.
The couple started dating in April after being introduced by mutual friends. They have shared photos of their adventures around the world on social media, showcasing their romantic relationship and active lifestyle. Crystal expressed that she is nurturing her true self in this relationship, embracing her adventurous spirit, and feeling more accepted and authentic than ever before. Ward, a marine biologist running an ocean excursion company in Hawaii called SeeThroughSee, left his corporate job in 2013 to pursue his passion.
Both Crystal and Ward have been documenting their adventures on social media, including trips to the Cook Islands and Mexico. Crystal was previously married to Hugh Hefner from 2012 until his death in 2017. She opened up about their toxic marriage, describing it as emotionally abusive, restrictive, and traumatic. She also revealed that they were never in love and that she felt a significant power imbalance in the relationship, leading her to lose herself in the process.
Crystal’s memoir has been a significant part of her healing journey, allowing her to process the emotional abuse she experienced in her past marriage. She emphasized the importance of self-discovery and finding her true self in her current relationship with Ward. The couple’s shared adventures and experiences have brought joy and fulfillment to Crystal, helping her embrace her inner child and live authentically.
Crystal expressed her gratitude for the positive support she has received from fans and supporters after going public with her relationship with Ward. She feels loved and cared for by the people around her, and she appreciates the outpouring of love and encouragement she has received. Her journey of healing and self-discovery continues, and she is grateful for the opportunity to live authentically and be in a loving and supportive relationship with Ward.
