Former Playboy centerfold Holly Madison is now free to play the field once again. According to various outlets, her marriage to Pasquale Rotella is over after five years. The couple exchanged vows in 2013 (at Disneyland!) and share two uniquely-named kids together, daughter Rainbow Aurora and son Forest. TMZ has obtained the legal documents filed by Rotella and says he entered them into official record back on August 31. Madison, of course, rose to fame after dating Hugh Hefner for many years; along with Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt, she helped anchor the E! reality series The Girls Next Door many years ago. About two years after her split from the much older Playboy founder, Madison started dating Rotella. She welcomed a baby girl in March of 2015 and announced her engagement three months later. While Madison and Kendra have had quite a falling out, Marquardt served as one of Holly’s bridesmaids at her wedding. “Everybody got to go on the ride as we were taking pictures after. It was really fun,” Holly told E! News a week after her Disney-themed nuptials, adding that they also had a private Fantasmic! showing and a reception in New Orleans Square. As for what caused an end to this once-blissful union? It’s not entirely clear at the moment. But it doesn’t sound like there was much drama; one insider says the romance simply “fizzled out,” which does happen on occasion we guess. Rotella, however, has retained a high-powered lawyer and is looking to keep the divorce case sealed, according to Radar Online. Way back in 2016, around the last time we even wrote about or thought about Madison, the ex-Playmate confessed that she used to be worried about her naked past catching up with her. “I was definitely embarrassed. It was the elephant in the room,” she told People Magazine at the time about both having dated Hefner and so often posed nude. After a string of failed romances, Madison said she was afraid she might never find “the one.” “I wondered, ‘Is this because I spent my 20s at the Mansion?’ I worried I missed my chance because I was there the whole time,” she said years ago. “I got to a point where I was trying to adjust my mindset and think, ‘Okay, am I going to be happy without that picture of marriage and family?’ The hardest part was just feeling really alone.” Now, sadly, she’s alone once again. But not like she once was: Madison is now the mother of two young kids. She has come QUITE a long way from her days as a Playboy model, that’s for certain. We’ll update this story with more news as it breaks.
