The news of their romance rekindling comes after Holly wished Zak a happy birthday on Instagram last month.
The blonde bombshell shared a photo of a clown birthday cake and wrote for her more than a million followers to see: “Happy Birthday @realzakbagans.”
She placed two vampire emojis on either side of a red heart emoji and tagged Showboy Bake Shop.
As for their professional lives, Holly’s show The Playboy Murders was recently revamped by the Discovery Channel.
And the network also picked up Zak’s Ghost Adventures series.

The duo married in 2013 in a Disneyland ceremony.
At the time of their divorce, Pasquale wrote on Instagram, “It is with love in our hearts and deep respect for each other that Holly and I have amicably made the decision to separate.”
“First of all, we are forever partners and parents of two beautiful children, and we are fully committed to raising them in an environment filled with love and positivity.
Holly is a talented woman and a beautiful soul. We remain the best of friends as we co-parent and continue to support each other in our respective passions in life.”
The New York Times bestseller is known for her relationship with Playboy founder Hugh, which began in 2001 when she moved in with the publishing company.
During that time, she became one of the stars of E!’s Girls Next Door, a reality show revolving around her and Hef’s other two live-in girlfriends, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson.
Holly was considered his “most important girlfriend” and openly expressed her desire to marry Hugh and have children.
