Jenny McCarthy Dating Brian Urlacher, Plans to Pose for Playboy Again (Photos)

Chicago Bears star linebacker Brian Urlacher has been working on his game this offseason. And we’re not talking about just his football skills.

Former Playboy model and actress Jenny McCarthy has confirmed that she is Urlacher’s new girlfriend, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

McCarthy began her career posing for Playboy in 1993, and she was later named Playmate of the Year that same year. She went on to become a game show host on MTV, a film actress, and she appeared on several TV shows, including CBS’s Two and a Half Men.

McCarthy also wrote a book, “Louder Than Words: A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism,” after her son was diagnosed with the disease that she believes was caused by a vaccination.

McCarthy’s career has rapidly changed since her start with Playboy, but her work might be coming full circle. McCarthy will reportedly be posing on the cover of the magazine’s July issue.

McCarthy was recently spotted out to dinner with Urlacher. Urlacher, whose contract ends in 2013, said that when he retires, he wants it to be with Chicago. Now it appears whenever that day comes, he may be doing so with McCarthy by his side.
