AceShowbiz - The rollercoaster romance between former Playboy model Holly Madison and paranormal investigator Zak Bagans has come to an end once more. The "Ghost Adventure" host confirms their latest breakup in remarks to TMZ.
Bagans, 47, expressed his sentiments regarding the breakup, "I won't get into the details, but I'll just say we have shared so many great memories and fun times. I'll always have love in my heart for her and wish the very best for her."
Following the end of their on-and -off relationship, he said that he's now "dating and moving on."
The pair's romantic journey began in May 2019. However, nearly two years later, they called it quits before reconciling in 2023. During their reunion, Madison, 45, disclosed to People that her connection with Bagans had improved following her autism diagnosis.
"I can recognize how I operate the way I do, why I operate the way I do, how I relate to people," she noted, adding that it had enhanced her social skills and relationship dynamics.
Amidst these challenges, Madison felt fortunate for Bagans' understanding and acceptance. "I'm lucky enough to be dating somebody who just has always kind of understood me and accepts me for who I am," she shared, emphasizing the emotional connection they had built.
Madison was previously married to Pasquale Rotella with whom she shares two kids. She also dated Playboy founder Hugh Hefner from 2001 to 2008, a period she subsequently described with allegations of emotional and sexual abuse.
Regarding Hefner's death in 2017, Madison told People that she felt no strong emotional attachment to him at the time of his passing.
As this chapter closes, Madison and Bagans look to the future with an eye toward new beginnings.
