Holly Madison Early Life:
When Holly Madison was born on December 23, 1979, she was known as Holly Cullen. At the age of two, she and her family relocated from Astoria, Oregon, where she was born, to Craig, Alaska’s Prince of Wales Island, where she grew up. For high school, she returned to Oregon, moving to St. Helens with her family after finishing middle school in the nearby city of Eugene.
Two years after she graduated from high school, she enrolled in the University of Portland to pursue a double major in theater and psychology. Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles was her next stop after this. Madison became a model for Hawaiian Tropic sun lotion and worked as a waitress at Hooters to help pay for college.
Holly Madison Career:
Madison was invited to the Playboy Mansion at the age of 21 after a successful career as a model and waiter. Since then, she has grown closer to Hugh Hefner and has been seeing him more frequently. Financial difficulties continued to plague her, and at one time she was on the verge of losing her home because of her mounting credit card debt. Hugh Hefner agreed to let her live in the Playboy Mansion at the age of 22, when she made her official request.
Things went downhill from there. On the other side, Hugh Hefner now had complete control over Holly’s every move. Because she couldn’t work outside the mansion, Madison had to adhere to the same strict curfew as the other residents, which was 9 p.m. every night. She was also said to have been financially controlled by Hefner. Besides that, Holly has mentioned that she felt compelled to have plastic surgery after moving in because she wanted to be successful in the entertainment sector. In 2001, she underwent breast augmentation surgery, and in 2003, she got a nose job...
The Playboy Mansion, on the other hand, opened up new horizons for Madison when she met Hugh Hefner. Hollie became Hefner’s newest “number one lady” in 2002, essentially acting as his lover and closest partner at the home after a number of other girls left the mansion A reality show about the Playboy Mansion’s residents, The Girls Next Door, premiered in 2003, and she began starring on it that year. Throughout the series, there was a lot of focus on Holly Madison, who was profiled in depth in terms of her personality and background. This boosted her stardom to a new level.
Madison was also a regular model in Playboy magazine, when she initially appeared bare-chested with her co-stars from The Girls Next Door in a 2005 issue. His reappearances in 2006, 2007 and 2008 were all under similar circumstances. Madison also worked on the calendars for The Girls Next Door while interning at Playboy’s studio and eventually becoming a junior photo editor.
Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt, two other Playboy Playmates. “The Girls Next Door” ran for five seasons with her.
Hefner had already expressed his intention to marry Madison in 2008 and have children with her. Their relationship deteriorated after Hefner admitted he had no plans to marry her. The relationship with Hugh came to an end soon after, and Madison blamed the breakup on Stockholm syndrome.
With The Girls Next Door, Holly finished things off after her breakup with her ex. After six seasons, she had left the Playboy Mansion and was no longer a resident. Dmitry Chaplin was her partner on Dancing with the Stars in 2008 when she made her return to television. Following an injury, Holly was booted from the competition. At the beginning of the year, she was cast in the burlesque show Peepshow. Even though the show was originally scheduled to run for just three months, it was extended because of its popularity. When she became pregnant in 2012, she had to stop performing in Las Vegas.
Relationships:
Madison Hefner declared after her breakup with Hugh Hefner that she would “never date anyone again.” She did, however, begin dating Pasquale Rotella in 2011, and the two were married in 2013 and welcomed their first child. They became parents to a second child in 2016. After a long battle, they finally divorced in 2019.
Insurance for breasts

To the tune of $3.475 million, Madison and her husband bought a mansion in Las Vegas that same year. The 10,500-square-foot mansion is located just west of downtown Las Vegas on 2.72 acres of property. Swimming pools can be found throughout the property’s outside area.
One of Holly Madison’s most recent purchases was a $7 million mansion in Los Angeles. There are fountains and terraces throughout the 8,500-square-foot home, which was built in 1926. It has a swimming pool, a built-in grill, and lush, planted gardens surrounding the home. It was a huge success when Holly put it on the market in 2017. An intense bidding war pushed the stated price of $8.1 million up to $8.225 million, when Madison finally sold it.
