Hugh Hefner's son Cooper in stark contrast to dad's Playboy lifestyle in 'family time' photo

Cooper Hefner has given an insight into "family time" with his wife and children - very much in contrast to the 'Playboy lifestyle' that's associated with his late father Hugh Hefner.

The businessman, 30, shared a photo of his family on Instagram yesterday to mark Memorial Day in the US - with Cooper currently a reservist for the US Air Force himself.

The photo showed Cooper sitting outside with his wife Scarlett Hefner, 31, and their three children; Betsy, almost two, and two-month-old twins Marigold and Blossom.

The couple - who have been married since 2019 - posed for the wholesome family photo alongside their young children amid the backdrop of a summery garden recently.

It seems drastically different from the lifestyle that Cooper's late father - Playboy magazine founder and editor-in-chief Hugh - had been associated with before his death in 2017.

Alongside the recent family photo, Cooper took the opportunity to pay his respects to veterans who have "sacrificed so much" for the country, marking Memorial Day.

He wrote in the caption of the post on social media: "We're enjoying family time over the long weekend while thinking and speaking of those who have sacrificed so much."

Cooper further commented: "We hope that all of you have a relaxing day while honoring those who have given their lives serving in the United States armed forces."

The family photo comes just two months after him and wife Scarlett - best known for playing Pansy Parkinson in the Harry Potter film series - welcomed their twins.

Announcing their births in March, he said that the couple were "overjoyed" by their arrivals, adding in a social media post: "How blessed we are to be gifted with their life."

Scarlett wrote at the time herself that her "heart grew twice as much" amid the birth of their youngest daughters Marigold and Blossom, who arrived on March 26 this year.

Scarlett wrote at the time herself that her "heart grew twice as much" amid the birth of their youngest daughters Marigold and Blossom, who arrived on March 26 this year.

The actor - who previously had a role in The Vampire Diaries - had further commented: "Our home is full of love with our three daughters and we couldn't be happier."

The married couple were already parents to eldest child Betsy, who was born in August 2020. Cooper said at the time they were "overwhelmed with gratitude, love and joy."
