Madison planning summer wedding

Holly Madison is planning a summer wedding.

The former Girls Next Door star is expecting her first child with boyfriend Pasquale Rotella.

She is due to give birth to their baby girl this March.

The 33-year-old blonde told People magazine marriage is in the cards for the couple, but first they want to focus on the baby.

“One thing at a time,” she said, adding, “We totally want to [get married], probably in late summer. We're going to wait until the baby comes and we get moved into the house before I start planning any of that.”

The couple are moving into a new home in Las Vegas, where she moved to perform in burlesque revue Peepshow. She is currently on hiatus to focus on motherhood.

As her due date inches closer, Holly is giving serious thought to the type of mother she wants to be.

“I don't want to be too strict because I think kids can get rebellious, but I hope to raise my daughter to be passionate about doing good things – about pursuing real things and real hobbies and not just frivolous material stuff,” she said.

Holly suffered a pregnancy scare last month. She was briefly hospitalised on December 3 for excessive morning sickness but made a full recovery.

She has been dating Pasquale for just over a year.
