Another celebrity twosome has decided to part ways in 2025. This time around, it’s the Ghost Adventures host Zak Bagans and Holly Madison.

The duo first became romantically involved in 2019, but their relationship took a turn when they announced to the public that they split nearly two years later in 2021. Bagans and Madison found their way back to each other in 2023 before ending things again in 2025.

The paranormal investigator broke the news to TMZ. “I won’t get into the details, but I’ll just say we have shared so many great memories and fun times,” he began. “I’ll always have love in my heart for her and wish the very best for her.” He also stated that he is “dating now and moving on.”

The Girls Next Door alum hasn’t spoken out about the split just yet. Fans of Madison are sure she will give a full run-down on her podcast, Girls Next Level, in the near future. In 2024, the 45-year-old mom of two opened up to PEOPLE about her relationship with Bagans after being diagnosed with autism. “I can recognize how I operate the way I do, why I operate the way I do, how I relate to people,” she said at the time. “I feel like it’s helped my social skills just knowing that.”

She further divulged that her then-partner wasn’t “super shocked” by the discovery. Madison added, “I’m lucky enough to be dating somebody who just has always kind of understood me and accepts me for who I am. I am lucky that I haven’t had a ton of trouble in recent relationships as far as feeling an intimate emotional connection with somebody.”

Prior to her relationship with Bagans, the former reality TV star was married to Pasquale Rotella. They split in 2018. The have two kids together, Rainbow, 12, and Forest, 8.
