Wedding bells are ringing for Crystal Harris and her fiancé James Ward!
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, April 2, the former Playboy model, 39, teased the couple’s nuptials.
“Baby where the hell is my husband… probably waiting for me to walk down the aisle 🥹💍 Today is the day!!” Harris captioned the post.
The accompanying video showed Ward, 42, enthusiastically picking Harris up in his arms. Harris wore a casual white dress for the occasion, while the backdrop appeared to their wedding destination, the South Pacific’s Cook Islands. The words “wedding day” were also written in the video’s text.

Posting via her Instagram Stories the same day, Harris also showed a glimpse of the romantic spot they seemingly planned to exchange vows. A clip showed a beach with rocks strategically placed in a heart shape while a floral arch stood at the center, marking where the duo would likely say “I do.”
Harris also shared a video and photo of the happy couple brandishing wide grins on a boat ride. Harris appeared to be wearing her wedding dress for the journey, while groom Ward looked dapper all suited up.
Last month, Harris, who is the ex-wife of late Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner, shared that her wedding date was getting close.
“Less than two weeks until I marry my best friend. My adventure buddy, my protector, the person who gives me strength to take on the world 💪” she gushed via her Instagram on March 22.
She continued, “You are such an incredible human. You steady me, lift me, and remind me who I am on the days I forget. With you, life feels bigger, softer, and more meaningful all at once. I don’t just feel loved, I feel safe, seen, and unstoppable. I can’t wait to do this life with you 🤍”
Harris and Ward announced their engagement after one year of dating in May 2025.

“It truly feels like a full-circle moment. James completely surprised me. He had a hidden staircase and a winding trail cleared to reveal a handcrafted deck perched above a dramatic cliffside overlooking the ocean,” Harris exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “It was the exact spot where we’d had a quiet picnic together a year ago — a place that became ‘ours.’ I had no idea he was secretly turning it into something permanent and symbolic. I thought we were just going for a walk, but when I saw the flowers, the handwritten notes, and the sea stretching endlessly in front of us, I knew something extraordinary was about to happen.”
Harris previously posted about the proposal via Instagram, writing in May 2025, “I said yes (of course) with my smile, my soul, my every cell—because loving you is the most natural thing I’ve ever done.”
