‘My grandmother meant the world to both Scarlett and I,’ Hefner told E! News.
‘Scarlett and I are filled with such joy. We couldn’t be happier…We look forward to being home and spending time together as a family in the days and weeks ahead.’
It’s a bittersweet milestone for the former Playboy CCO, whose famous father Hugh Hefner passed away, at age 91, in 2017 from sepsis brought on by an E. coli infection.

The late Playboy founder’s ex-girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson – who lived with him from 2004-2009 – commented on Cooper’s post: ‘Congrats to you all. She’s beautiful. Welcome to the world Betsy!’
Luckily, Hefner’s privileged princess has grandmother Kimberley Conrad, who divorced Hugh in 2010 after nine years of marriage.
Scarlett – who’s known for her roles in Hulu’s Runaways and the Harry Potter franchise – hosted a virtual baby shower on July 11 via Zoom.
