The original Girl Next Door and the girl that Hef was more likely to marry than any of the girls on the show, Holly Madison has broken things off with Criss Angel. Call it magic.

After only four months of dating and being “madly in love”, the two of them have parted ways. A source close to the former couple says, “She was very much in love with him, and they’re still very close friends,” adding that the split was mutual.

I think publicists are contactually obligated to say that the split was mutual and that the parties involved are either focusing on their careers or have conflicting schedules.

The source says, “It was a conflict of schedules. She felt she couldn’t devote 100 percent of her time in Vegas and his career at the expense of her career and her goals.”

Since leaving Criss., Holly has moved back in with family. And not the Playboy bunny family, either. She probably broke Hef’s heart when she told him she was leaving him for that douche.

The snitch also revealed, “It was a touch decision for her to make and come back to L.A. and pursue her career. She still has very intense feelings for him.”
