Neighbours star splits from billionaire husband

Former Neighbours actress and pop star Holly Valance has reportedly split from her husband, billionaire property developer and Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy, after 13 years of marriage.

According to The Sun, the couple parted ways in recent weeks and are heading for divorce. Valance, 42, and Candy, 52, married in 2012 in a star-studded ceremony in California attended by 300 guests. They share two daughters.

“This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly, and they are keeping things private out of respect for their family,” a family friend told the newspaper. “The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority.”

“They’ve had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick’s intense work commitments, it’s been a tough balance,” the source added. “This is a family matter and they’re doing their best to handle things thoughtfully.”

A spokesperson for Valance said there would be no official comment, adding: “The privacy of all parties involved is respectfully requested.”

The couple are known for their political connections and involvement with Reform UK. In 2022, they visited former US President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort, accompanied by party leader Nigel Farage.

Valance first rose to fame playing Felicity ‘Flick’ Scully on Neighbours before launching a successful pop career, including her chart-topping debut single “Kiss Kiss” in 2002. She later appeared in a string of television and film roles and reached the semi-finals of Strictly Come Dancing in 2011.

Candy is one half of the high-profile Candy brothers, renowned for developing luxury properties in London.
