HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — It appears that Hugh Hefner officially has at least one less girlfriend.
Holly Madison, who has been one-third of Hefner's arm candy for the last several years, has confirmed that she is no longer dating the Playboy founder. The 29-year-old beauty made the revelation when a TMZ cameraman inquired if she could get him into the upcoming Halloween bash at the Playboy Mansion.
"I have no pull anymore. Hef and I aren't together," responded Madison.
The status of Madison and her fellow girlfriends, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson, has been a hot tabloid topic for months. As recently as last month, Hefner denied any talk of a breakup of the group, who all star on the hit E! reality series "Girls Next Door."
"It's all rumors without question," Hefner told Fox News at September's Fox Really Awards. "We have just completed our fifth season (of "Girls Next Door") and we're all still together and have just signed on to a sixth season, which we start filming in the new year."
"There may be some transitions to the relationships though, we’ll see," he added.
Many have speculated that each of the girls are ready to move on to the next phase of their life.
"There have been a lot of new girls on the scene and big changes are happening," a source tells Fox. "Holly, Bridget and Kendra have made no secret of the fact they want to get married and have babies and they aren't getting any younger."
Whatever the case, Madison says the show must go on.
"It's going to be even better," she told TMZ of the show's upcoming sixth season. "We love season five, but I think every season gets better."
