Former Neighbours star Holly Valance has been photographed sharing a passionate and very public kiss with a younger man, signaling she has moved on from her high-profile split from billionaire property developer Nick Candy. The Mail on Sunday can exclusively reveal that Ms Valance's new flame is Grant Gale, a 34-year-old former soldier and combat sports enthusiast from Newport, south Wales.
From Security Detail to Romantic Interest
Intriguingly, Mr Gale previously worked as part of the security team protecting the £270 million Chelsea family home that Ms Valance shared with her ex-husband Nick Candy. The mansion, known as Providence House, was recently purchased by trading firm boss Suneil Setiya in one of the world's most expensive property transactions.
A New Chapter After Thirteen Years
Holly Valance, the 42-year-old Australian actress and 'Kiss Kiss' singer, ended her thirteen-year marriage to Nick Candy in June last year. Following the split, there were brief concerns among friends when rumors surfaced about a potential romantic link between Ms Valance and far-Right activist Tommy Robinson after they were spotted on a private trip together.
Genuine Connection in London Park
However, the connection with Grant Gale appears to be authentic and developing. The pair were recently photographed enjoying a coffee and intimate conversation on a bench in a sunny London park, displaying clear affection for one another.
In the candid images, Ms Valance wore dark sunglasses and casual black leggings with a matching top, complemented by £300 Nike trainers. Mr Gale sported blue jeans and a white and green top during their relaxed outing. The former bodyguard demonstrated his protective nature by offering his black denim jacket to keep Ms Valance warm as temperatures dipped.
Affectionate Moments Captured
As Mr Gale wrapped his jacket around Ms Valance's shoulders, the actress placed her hands on his cheeks and leaned in for a tender kiss. The couple then ambled off hand-in-hand through the park, appearing completely comfortable in each other's company.
This new relationship marks a significant personal development for Ms Valance, who shares two children with her ex-husband Nick Candy. While Mr Gale previously worked within the security apparatus protecting the Candy family, his relationship with Ms Valance has clearly evolved beyond professional boundaries into a genuine romantic connection.
