Playboy veteran Holly Madison is dating Las Vegas attorney Steve Dimopoulos, who bears a striking resemblance to her former partner Zak Bagans. The 46-year-old television personality, who confirmed her split from the Ghost Adventures star in March last year, has now been linked to the lawyer after they first met two months earlier, as reported by TMZ on Tuesday.
Sources informed the outlet that Madison and Dimopoulos began a romance after meeting in March at Carbone Riviera, located within the Bellagio Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. Since then, they have been seen together publicly in the city, including attending a David Copperfield show last month.
Dimopoulos founded Dimopoulos Injury Law over a decade ago in 2015, with the firm's website stating it aims to 'deliver the largest recovery possible in the shortest time possible, while providing five-star service every step of the way.' His law firm has represented passengers of Frontier Airlines and also filed a class action lawsuit against the F1 Grand Prix 'on behalf of 35,000 fans.'
Dimopoulos has appeared on billboards across Las Vegas and has amassed a large social media following, with 177,000 followers on Instagram. The attorney resembles Madison's on-and-off ex Zak Bagans, whom she began dating in June 2019.
Previous Relationship with Zak Bagans
Two years later, the pair separated but later rekindled their romance in 2023. In March last year, Madison revealed that she and Bagans had ended things for good. 'Zak and I broke up for good, for good. I know we've been very off and on,' she disclosed during an episode of her Girls Next Level podcast. 'Yeah, it was very off and on for the course of the like five-and-a-half years we were together. We were very off and on for the past year, very much.'
The star added, 'So we broke up and I mean unfollowed on social media, which we've never unfollowed each other before through all the breakups.' Two months later, she claimed that Bagans had cheated on her in a series of Instagram posts.
Alongside a picture of a swimming pool, Madison wrote: 'It's a perfect day for me and not my ex who I just found out was cheating on me with at least three other girls. Never too late to find out! Lol.' She followed up with an update that read, 'Wait. The count is now up to four girls. And they all have major receipts.' The star also added, 'Let's see what this number gets up to by the end of the day. Feel free to place bets I'll keep you posted.'
In one post, the mother-of-two shared with her followers, 'The number is up to 7 women with receipts now, for those keeping track.' Another photo showed the exterior of a Costco along with the text, 'Some people were cheating in bulk.' While uploading a TikTok clip, she referenced the cheating allegations by writing, 'My fantasy "I'm bored" scenario would be all the girls my most recent ex cheated with just filling me in. I need the lore.'
Although she did not name Bagans in the posts, she referred to her 'most recent ex' in the accusation. At the time, Bagans responded to the allegations by telling TMZ, 'We were on and off for 6 years. Broke up multiple times. We haven't spoken in 3 months. Wish her the best.'
Back in 2024, Madison reflected on her relationship with Bagans before their final breakup. 'I'm lucky enough to be dating somebody who just has always kind of understood me and accepts me for who I am, so getting the diagnosis wasn't super shocking to him,' she told People, referring to her autism diagnosis. '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.'
Background and Personal Life
Hugh Hefner's ex rose to fame as a Playboy Playmate and starred in the reality series The Girls Next Door. She was previously married to Pasquale Rotella from 2013 until their divorce was finalized in 2019. The former couple share two children: Rainbow, 13, and Forest, nine.
In March, Madison told People that she had been looking for someone 'really motivated and inspiring' who also lived in Las Vegas. The Playboy star relocated to the city in late 2008. 'I don't want to move, and I don't want to do anything long distance,' she shared. Madison also revealed that she views breakups in a positive light as she has aged. 'Breakups in my adult life have always turned into better things. As heartbreaking as it can feel in the moment, it always kind of opened up this new chapter in my life that was always really amazing and a huge improvement on the last chapter. So, I like to highlight breakups as more of a possibility and less of a negative thing.'
