Holly Madison and Zak Bagans have called it quits — and this time it’s sticking.

While the former Playboy Bunny, 45, and Ghost Adventures host, 47, have ended their relationship in the past, Madison confirmed on her podcast, “Girls Next Level”, that they are over for good.

Speaking to her cohost, Bridget Marquardt, in the most recent episode of the podcast, Madison confirmed they went their separate ways soon after her close friend Luke “The Dingo” Trembath died earlier this month.

“And then the day after that, Zak and I broke up for good, for good,” Madison said. “I know we’ve been very off and on, you guys are probably like, ‘You guys broke up last spring, right?’”

Many celebrity splits have rocked Hollywood over the years, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin as well as Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan. Tatum and Dewan’s love story began on the set of 2006’s Step Up, where they costarred as onscreen love interests. The duo tied the knot in 2009 and welcomed daughter Everly in 2013. […]

Madison described the romance between her and Bagans as “very off and on” but emphasized that their breakup this time was permanent.

“Yeah, it was very off and on for the course of the like five-and-a-half years we were together,” she said. “We were very off and on for the past year, very much. So we broke up and I mean unfollowed on social media, which we’ve never unfollowed each other before through all the breakups.”

Madison and Bagans began dating in June 2019. She was previously married to Electric Daisy Carnival founder Pasquale Rotella. Madison and Rotella finalized their divorce in February 2019 and share two children together: daughter Rainbow, who was born in March 2013 and son Forest, who they welcomed in August 2016.

The Holly’s World alum previously dated Hugh Hefner from 2001 to 2008, with E! cameras documenting three years of her romance with the Playboy founder on The Girls Next Door. While she was Hefner’s “main girlfriend” after his split from Tina Jordan, Madison became known as part of a trio alongside Marquardt, who is now her podcast host, and Kendra Wilkinson.

2025 kicked off with a slew of celebrity breakups. Two months after first sparking split rumors, Jessica Simpson announced that she and Eric Johnson had called it quits after 10 years of marriage. “Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” she told Us Weekly in a January 13 […]

Madison wrote about her time in the infamous mansion in her 2015 memoir, Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny, alleging that Hefner offered the women drugs and detailing the bizarre rules and regulations amongst the women.

“I thought I was an adult and thought I was making my free choice. And I was,” she wrote about her decision to move into the mansion. “But I wasn’t sophisticated or really prepared. And kind of got in over my head. … I could understand how people thought it was strange. But I guess I wasn’t comfortable enough to explain why I thought it would be fun or why I thought it would be a good idea.”
