Kellan Lutz is obviously a fan of girlfriend Brittny Ward, and it appears Hugh Hefner is, too!

Brittny is Playboy's Miss January 2015, the mag announced Tuesday, which means the 24-year-old brunette beauty is the first Playmate of Playboy's 61st year!

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

How—charming! Britt, who has reportedly been dating her Twilight hunk since October, modeled for 12 years prior to this R-rated gig. As a teen, she even entered into beauty pageants, but since then she says she's "turned to the dark side."

"I'm so different from when I was in the pageants, putting on that smile," Brittny tells Playboy. "Now I'm into trying things that scare me, like skydiving and playing with wild animals."

This Playboy spread was Brittny's first time posing naked, but she wasn't intimated at all. In fact, she was quite empowered! "I felt very badass when shooting this pictorial—a bit like, say Angelina Jolie," she says. "I felt like a hyper confident, kickass woman."

Her mantra, she says, is simple, "Have fun. Regret nothing, and don't let people judge or bring you down."

Well, it seems like Kellan's found a fun bunny if there ever was one!
