Holly Valance was reportedly living a separate life from her British billionaire husband Nick Candy for years before they announced their official split. The former Neighbours star, 42, married property tycoon Candy, 52, in 2012, and the pair share two daughters: Luka Violet Toni, 13, and Nova Skye Coco, seven.
A source told MailOnline: 'They have been living separate lives for a long time, he's travelling a lot and it's been a lonely life for Holly. Nick has businesses in Dubai and London, The Reform Party.' The couple were last pictured together in March having lunch in London, prior to which they were seen publicly supporting Reform UK leader Nigel Farage at party conferences.
The couple, who are said to want to keep matters private out of respect for their family, own multiple luxury properties including a £175 million Hyde Park penthouse, a £75 million Chelsea mansion, and a £10 million Cotswolds country house. In 2020, Candy gifted his wife a £26 million superyacht, despite her suffering from seasickness; she was reportedly treated by celebrity hypnotist Paul McKenna to enjoy the gift.
A friend told The Sun: 'This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly. The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority.' A spokesman for the couple told the Mirror: 'This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment.'
Valance rose to fame playing Felicity 'Flick' Scully in Neighbours at age 16, later launching a singing career with hits like 'Kiss Kiss'. She has since acted in Prison Break and Taken, and appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2011. More recently, she has been involved in politics, supporting Reform UK and reportedly encouraging Farage to stand for Prime Minister.
