SCARLETT and Cooper Hefner’s family is multiplying like rabbits, after the son of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner announced his wife is expecting twins.
The couple, who already share 15-month-old daughter Betsy Rose, posted the happy news on their respective social media accounts.
On Twitter, Cooper said: “Scarlett and I will be welcoming two new members of the family this spring. We couldn’t be happier as we wait on the arrival of our twins. A very Happy Thanksgiving to all!”
Scarlett, 31, echoed his sentiment on her Instagram page: Thankful for our growing family. Cooper and I are very excited to share that we will be welcoming twins at the beginning of 2022. Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving.”
Cooper, 30, married then Scarlett Byrne in 2019. The British actress gained fame playing Pansy Parkinson in the Harry Potter movie franchise.
The wedding was a very low-key ceremony, as the two tied the knot at the Ventura, California County courthouse after a four-year engagement.
After the ceremony, Scarlett shared online: “I love you Cooper. I am proud to stand by your side, as your partner, your friend, and your wife.”

“I cannot wait to continue building a life together. My heart is so full and I am so grateful for our love.”
Cooper’s mom is Kimberley Conrad, who was Playmate of the Year 1989. And just like mom, Scarlett has graced the pages of the men’s magazine as well, in 2017.
At the time, she shared what an honor it was: “I’m very proud to be a part of the March/April issue of Playboy. I penned a short essay along with my pictorial titled, “The Feminist Mystique”.
A big thank you to @Playboy, the creative team, and @cooperbhefner for such a unique opportunity.”
In August 2020, the couple welcomed their first child, sharing the news on Instagram: “At 5:23pm this afternoon Scarlett and I welcomed our daughter Betsy Rose Hefner into the world. “We are overwhelmed with gratitude, love and joy.”
The couple named their daughter after Cooper’s grandmother Betsy Aldridge-Conrad, who died that July. “My grandmother meant the world to both Scarlett and I,” Cooper said at the time.
HEF’S LEGACY
Cooper is one of four children of the late Hugh Hefner, and began working at his father’s company while still at college.
He went on to become the chief creative officer of Playboy Enterprises but left the company in to launch his own media brand, the Hefner Media Corporation.
Cooper is believed to have inherited millions from his dad’s estate after he passed.
The man famous for always wearing his pajamas and bedding a plethora of Playmates died in 2017 at the age of 91.
