Holly Madison Won't Be Hugh Hefner's Wife It is such a bitter fact for Holly Madison that she will never be the wife of 82-year-old Playboy mogul, Hugh Hefner. Although marriage will always be a wonderful step for Holly, she has to embrace her status as merely one of Hugh's girlfriends forever.

Desperate Holly told Tarts last week at "Playmate of the Year" luncheon held at the iconic Mansion that she and Hugh weren't even close to a nuptial plan. "We are no closer to getting married than we were years ago. It's like a car stalled at the side of the road," she said.

Unlike Holly who has been contemplating marriage for a long time, Hugh wasn't interested in tying the knot with her. "I love Holly very much and I think we're going to be together the rest of my life. But marriage isn't part of my puzzle. It's not a personal thing - I just haven't had much luck with marriages," Hugh revealed. Meanwhile, when he was asked whether he plans to retire from Playboy business considering his old age, Hugh answered, "I have no plans to retire." Furthermore he added, "It's the perfect combination of work and play that keeps you young. If I quit work it would be the beginning of the end for me."
