Kellan Lutz of Twilight fame has a very sexy girlfriend. In fact, Brittny Ward is so sexy that she’s Playboy’s January 2015 centerfold. The magazine announced their choice on Tuesday. Brittny is the first Playmate of the magazine’s 61st year of publication.

“Starting a new year is like hitting the refresh button. I love that this inaugurates a new chapter in my life.” Brittny told Playboy, adding, “Happy New–I wish everyone 365 days of great sex!”

Kellan Lutz and Brittny Ward have been dating since October. He, of course, is an actor, and in addition to his role in the Twilight Saga films has appeared in Tarzan and The Legend of Hercules. She is in her twelfth year of modeling. She also tried her hand at a number of beauty pageants.

“I’m so different from when I was in the pageants, putting on that smile,” Brittny says. “Now I’m into trying things that scare me, like skydiving and playing with wild animals.”

The 2015 Playboy spread represents the first time Lutz’s girlfriend has posed naked, however, and that has to be a bit scary in itself.

“I felt very badass when shooting this pictorial—a bit like, say Angelina Jolie,” she said. “I felt like a hyper confident, kickass woman.”

She added that her mantra is, “Have fun. Regret nothing, and don’t let people judge or bring you down.”

It certainly sounds like Kellan Lutz has found himself one very adventurous woman. Do you think he had any idea she would one day be posing naked for Playboy when the two started dating?
