Bridget Marquardt, 35, is the last member of the Girls Next Door trio to move out of the Playboy mansion and is also the last to go public with a new boyfriend. She told US Magazine that she’s had a new boyfriend since October, a 29 year-old director named Nick Carpenter:
Bridget Marquardt… tells US that, since October, she’s been seeing Nick Carpenter, 29, who directed her in the upcoming thriller The Telling. “I really haven’t dated in so long,” she says of her guy (who dated Marisa Tomei.) “I feel like I’m in high school again.” And while the duo have met each other’s families (including his mom, a former Playboy bunny!), she says the most important blessing came from Hefner, who invited the pair to celebrate New Year’s Eve at the mansion. “Hef called me and said, ‘You’re always welcome here; he is too as long as you want him here.’”
[From US Magazine, print edition, February 19, 2009]
US has a close up photo of Bridget and Nick in which dark-haried Nick is shown making a serious face. He looks surprisingly similar to Holly’s boyfriend, Criss Angel, including the douchy look on his face, but maybe the one photo they have doesn’t do the guy justice. I found other photos of the guy on a MySpace fansite and he bears a resemblance to Colin Farrel and looks positively gorgeous in some shots.
The news about Bridget and Nick first broke in September of last year, and good for Bridget for keeping it under wraps until she felt secure in the relationship. I hope the guy treats her well. She’s a friendly, enthusiastic person and I had a lot of fun watching her get all excited about planning parties and outings on The Girls Next Door. The show just won’t be the same without her and hopefully she’ll go on to better things.

I feel like I read that she is married, too, and only separated. Does anyone know if that is still the case?

Bridget was definitely my favorite.

Beep. Beep. BEEEEEP.

@Manda, yes she is technically still married to her first husband, I should have mentioned that!

Aww. I watched GND and was just tripped out by how much I like the girls. Bridget really is a cutie and just plain sweet. I thought the girls showed tons more class and thoughtfulness towards others than anyone else on reality TV. Miley Cyrus should be forced into GND boot camp.
OT: Yea Bridget! Hope she gets that pesky first marriage out of the way soon.

And she’s 35? Really? She seems lovely, but I’m pretty sure she’s shaved a couple of years off.

Did anyone notice the rolled up $bill in his hand in the photo with the air freshener in his other hand? Please tell me that’s just how he keeps his money in his pocket….

She seemed like the only nice one on that show. And the most normal and unaffected, in that she needs a nose job but never got one. You’d think Hef would insist.
These days Holly looks half the age she used to, and it’s because she no longer applies her makeup with a trowel. Huge improvement.

I meant Bridget is the nice one, but I didn’t really segue properly into mentioning Holly.

Wow. File this one under “Who gives an eff?” I can’t stand this old hag.

I’m sorry, WHY, exactly, does she “need a nose job”????

Looks like he smells bad.

Well her nose is really bulbous at the tip, like Karl Malden.
It’s a perfectly fine nose for real people, but Hef is a huge fake and all his women are generally made of plastic and ceramic and polystyrene. So I figured he would want it whittled.

HE IS HOT!!!!!!

Good for her. She has always seemed sweet

Oh, yeah, Karl Malden… I knew she reminded me of someone…. *eye-roll*
Sorry, but I just think the last thing this woman needs is a nose job. Crazy to me to even say so.

Excellent sense of humour. Keep it up.

Yeah, ha ha, it’s my lack of a sense of humor that makes me think that this perfectly gorgeous woman doesn’t need a nose job.
Damn me and my lack of humor.

I worked on Bridget’s movie The Telling (there’s stuff up on http://www.thetellingmovie.com) where she and Nick met. She is very sweet.
I’m thinking the shirtless picture of Nick is when he was doing gay porn, but I can’t think what he’s doing with the febreze. (j/k – i think!)

I just saw the two holding hands outside of the the Sacramento Train Museum. We quietly asked if we could take a picture with her (no one else was around) and she seemed very irratated. Her boyfriend was rude too.
