Holly Madison Reveals She Underwent IVF With Hugh Hefner While Living At Playboy Mansion

Holly Madison said she underwent IVF with Hugh Hefner while living at the Playboy mansion but chose not to show it on TV.

The "Girls Next Door" alum spoke exclusively to ET and revealed why she kept her efforts for a baby away from the show.

"I didn't really think about including it just because, even when I did go on to have kids, I'm always the one who doesn't want to tell anyone I'm pregnant until after the three-month mark. I just want to be safe," Madison told the outlet.

"I didn't want all that scrutiny on something that may or may not work," she added.

While she was so worried in the past about her IVF not working out, Madison said she is now grateful she did not have a baby with Hefner.

"I mean, obviously, looking back I'm so glad it didn't work 'cause I went on to have the kids of my dreams," Madison told the outlet.

The former "Holly's World" star shares children Rainbow, 9, and Forest, 6, with her ex-husband, Pasquale Rotella.

Last year, Madison described the experience of having sex with the late Playboy founder for the first time as "traumatic."

"I was wasted," Madison said on the "Power: Hugh Hefner" podcast in 2021. "He was literally pushed on top of me. And after it happened, I was just mortified and embarrassed, and it had way more of an emotional impact on me than I thought it would."

She said she joined a group of other women who went back to the Playboy mansion but she was not expecting to have sex with Hefner that night.

"I thought it would be more of a first date — even though, obviously, it's not a very traditional first date," she said in the podcast.

On Tuesday, she shared more details about the first time she had an intimate encounter with Hefner in a new podcast, "Girls Next Level," which she co-hosts with fellow "Girls Next Door" alum Bridget Marquardt.

In the podcast, the girls said they were made to feel like "pieces of meat" during orgies and offered drugs or what Hefner allegedly likes to call, "thigh-openers."

"The first thing that happens is — The Recruiter says, "Daddy", I'm gagging as I say this, "Do you wanna get the new girl?" And I sh**t you not, next thing I know, he's on top of me,'" Madison told the publication.
