According to reports that the couple have been living apart for 13 years, Kiss Kiss singer Holly Valance and her billionaire husband Nick Candy have confirmed their split.

Holly Valance was reportedly living a separate life from her British billionaire husband for years before they announced their official split. The ex-Neighbours star tied the knot with Nick Candy back in 2012 and the pair share two daughters, Luka Violet Toni, 13, and seven-year-old Nova Skye Coco.

But now the former power couple look set to divorce after 13 years of marriage. And it’s said that Kiss Kiss singer Holly, 42, and property tycoon Nick, 52 – who is also the treasurer of the Reform UK party, led by Nigel Farage – haven’t been together for a ‘long time.’

The pair were last pictured together in March having a swanky lunch in London, with Holly dressed head-to-toe in Chanel and carrying a £2,300 Christian Dior tote bag. Prior to that they were seen publicly supporting Farage at Reform UK conferences after Nick switched allegiance from the Tory party last year – and rubbing shoulders with US President Donald Trump.

Used to enjoying a lavish lifestyle, Holly and Nick once lived in a ‘superluxe’ Hyde Park penthouse worth £175million, thought to be the UK’s most expensive flat. The two-storey pad is said to have five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a state-of-the-art gym, spa, 21-metre lap pool, private cinema, cocktail bar, wine cellar, a golf simulator, media room, two terraces – and also include valet and room service from the five-star Mandarin Oriental hotel next door.

Additionally, they are said to be the owners of a £75 million country estate in Chelsea and a £10 million country estate in the Cotswolds. Even though his wife suffers from sea sickness, Nick even gifted her a £26 million superyacht in 2020. According to rumors, Holly received lavish presents from famous hypnotist Paul McKenna.

Though it seems money can’t buy you happiness, as a source claimed Holly had been living a ‘lonely life’ in recent years. 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.”

According to the ex-couple, they reportedly want to keep things private in order to show their families respect. Nick and Holly have been through a very difficult time, according to a friend. Their top priority is still their two amazing daughters’ joint parenting.

The source added to The Sun: “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 spokesman for the couple told the Mirror: “This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment.”

Most people will remember Holly for her role in the hit movie “Flick” Scully in Neighbours, which she won when she was just 16 years old. She had just 19 years old when she started singing and had just released her debut album Footprints, which had number one hits like Kiss Kiss Kiss.

Two years later, she released her second album, State of Mind, which did not perform as well. Holly announced in 2004 that she would stop being a musician and instead pursued an acting career in Hollywood in LA. Along with Liam Neeson, she later appeared in the hit US prison drama Prison Break, CSI: Miami, and CSI: Entourage.

Back in the UK, the British-Australian star – who has dual nationality – appeared in the 2011 series of Strictly Come Dancing where she was partnered with pro dancer Artem Chigvintsev. The pair managed to reach the semi-finals and finished in fourth place.

Since then, Holly, the mother-of-two, has largely been unmarried despite her recent political outings supporting the far-right Reform party. She has received significant party contributions, including “while whispering in his ear,” encouraging Nigel Farage to run for prime minister, and giving the party large sums of money. Additionally, she is said to have contributed to Trump’s stateside fundraising efforts.

She told GB News at a PopCon – Popular Conservatism conference last year that “everyone starts off as a lefty and then wakes up at some point and realizes what terrible ideas they all are.”

In Venice, Italy, some weren’t happy that Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos tied the knot in a multi-million dollar ceremony surrounded by numerous A-list friends.

Katie Couric called Lauren Sanchez, Jeff Bezos’ wife, “tacky” on the day of her wedding. This week, the billionaire couple celebrated their lavish wedding without incurring any expenses.

However, it appears that one journalist wasn’t all that impressed by the occasion because she described Lauren as “tacky.” Jack Schlossberg, a well-known author and the daughter of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Caroline Kennedy, became involved in Katie Couric’s final position.

This week’s wedding celebration in Venice, Italy, made it seem as though Schlossberg poked fun at Bezos and Sánchez. He reposted Lauren’s Vogue cover from last Friday, which featured her in a white wedding dress.

Like I said, “Vogue,” he wrote in the caption of the photo. In the snap, Lauren looked stunning while rocking her dress with long sleeves and a figure-hugging shape while smiling from ear to ear.

She fanned out at the knees before being hugged by floral lace. The bride was then cruelly called “tacky” in a cruel joke by Couric.

“Welcome to the eighties, a time when extravagant consumption and big hair ruled. She wrote, “Apparently tacky is back.”

The world’s second richest man Jeff Bezos got married to with his long-term partner Lauren in Venice, Italy yesterday. The couple are husband and wife after they said their “I do’s” in an extravagant £48million ceremony surrounded by their famous friends and family – despite already having a smaller, legal ceremony beforehand.

Family and friends gathered at the ceremony, which lasted about 25 minutes, for the couple to exchange their vows. After saying “I do,” they were able to hear them cheer, clap, and whine.

The Kardashian-Jenners, Oprah Winfrey, and Leonardo DiCaprio were among the celebrities who accompanied the couple to their wedding. Rania Al Abdullah, the Queen of Jordan, and Ivanka Trump were also present.

Although the couple celebrated their engagement in Venice this week, it is believed that the couple actually got married a few weeks prior.

They have been married for at least a month, or more, according to an insider in charge of the event planning. The marriage was legally and legally recorded in America.

Although the source claimed that the celebrations this week are solely ceremonial, they were widely reported to be their wedding. They made it clear that they were already secretly married when they were planning the wedding, according to them.

Bezos himself confirmed the legal union, according to reports that he also mentioned how the pair had arranged a prenuptial agreement to protect his $244 billion fortune. Before the infamous celebration even started, Bezos and Sanchez reportedly got married privately in the United States.
