Hugh Hefner's 'Playboy' ex Holly Madison pregnant



Playboy model-turned-reality star Holly Madison is pregnant with her first child.

The blonde, who previously dated "Playboy" boss Hugh Hefner, is expecting a baby with her party promoter boyfriend Pasquale Rotella.

Madison confirmed the news to Usmagazine.com and revealed she is 12 weeks into her pregnancy.

She says, "I've always wanted to be a mom. But I thought it would take longer!... I've been lucky! No morning sickness, but I do get a little nauseous. It happens before my (burlesque) show (in Las Vegas), so I keep ginger ale backstage."

The news comes just weeks after Madison revealed she planned to adopt a child from either South Africa or South Korea.

She told America's "In Touch" magazine, "I've started the adoption process. I really want to be a mommy."
