Holly Valance splits from billionaire Nick Candy as she goes through 'difficult period'

Holly Valance has split from her billionaire property tycoon husband Nick Candy. The former Neighbours star has reportedly split from Nick, who is a billionaire and heavily connected to Reform UK.

Nick and Holly met back in 2009 and he proposed two years later. Nick is the treasurer of Reform - led by Nigel Farage - and both Holly and Nick have a strong connection with the political party.

A friend of the family said: "This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly, and they are keeping things private out of respect for their family. 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. This is a family matter and they’re doing their best to handle things thoughtfully. Privacy is obviously very important to them both, so they can focus on what’s best for the family," a source toldThe Sun.

A spokesman for the couple said: "This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment."

Holly has been vocal about her own political views. Last year, she said: "“Everyone starts off as a leftie and then wakes up at some point after making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home, then realises what c**p ideas they all are."

Back in 2024, Holly donated £50,000 to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK under the name Holy Vukadinović. She praised Farage and said it was her who encouraged him to run for leader of the party.

She said: "I have been whispering in his ear for a long time. He is the face of Reform. Richard [Tice] has done a great job and they are a great team. Hopefully now we will be stronger and we will see what we can do at this next election. I'm a paid up member."

Holly rose to fame on Neighbours, where she was cast as Felicity 'Flick' Scully. She was on the show for a few years before she decided to leave and pursue music. Her single Kiss Kiss was released in April 2002 and became one of her biggest hits.

However, after releasing her album Footprints, she then turned back to acting as she said that was where her interest was. After that, she starred in US drama Prison Break and a number of films including DOA: Dead or Alive and Taken.
