Holly Valance has ended her marriage with Nick Candy, a wealthy real estate mogul, after being together for 13 years but essentially living separate lives for a long time, according to MailOnline.
The 42-year-old former Neighbours star, now known for her conservative views, reportedly felt isolated while her 52-year-old husband, who is also the treasurer of the Reform Party, focused on his global business pursuits.
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 are parents to daughters Luka, 11, and Nova, seven, and tied the knot back in September 2012 in Beverly Hills.
A spokesman for the couple said: ‘This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment.’

Their most recent public appearance together was in March, when they were seen having an upscale lunch in London, with Holly wearing expensive designer outfits totaling £10,000.
They wed in 2012 a lavish £3million ceremony with guests including Elton John, Simon Cowell as well as Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.Â
Together they have enjoyed a lavish lifestyle and previously lived in a two-storey Hyde Park penthouse worth £175million, making it Britain’s most expensive flat.
Nick and Holly have since downsized to a £10million countryside mansion in the Cotswolds, which they have been renovating.Â
In 2020, Nick gifted Holly with a £26million superyacht, despite the mother-of-two famously suffering from sea sickness.
The businessman who previously poured millions into Conservative coffers, became Farage’s party treasurer earlier this year.
Both he and his former singer and actress wife have made little secret of their support for Farage.
As far ago as 2022 they joined him and then incoming US president Donald Trump for dinner at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

The source went on to say that while the pair, who are parents to daughters Luka, 11, and Nova, seven, share similar politics, Nick’s vast responsibilities with Reform has ‘come between’ them

Holly also hosted fundraisers for Reform and they were in the audience when Farage returned as Party leader last year.
The former soap star has spent the last decade focusing on her personal life and political interests.
She launched her acting career in 1999 after winning the role of Felicity Scully in Neighbours, which she played until 2002.
The Melbourne-born actress later moved to America and starred in several popular US movies and TV shows, including Taken, Entourage and Prison Break.
She semi-retired from the industry in 2015, although she made a brief cameo on Neighbours in 2022.
She raised eyebrows last year after slamming Greta Thunberg as a ‘demonic little gremlin’ and claiming Australia has become ‘too woke’ in a TV interview.
Holly criticised climate activist Thunberg to podcast host Christopher Hope.
‘I don’t understand why you have this, like, demonic little gremlin high priestess of climatism as the goddess in classrooms, Greta [Thunberg],’ she said.
‘All the kids are all coming home with depression and anxiety.
Valance also told LBC radio she had donated around £100,000 to Reform.
She and Candy were both seen at the Reform conference at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre.
There have previously been signs of a political split in their household, with the billionaire businessman a former Tory donor who backed Labour at the general election, before jumping ship join his wife and Reform.Â
