Early life
Holly Valance was born in Fitzroy, Victoria, on May 11, 1983, as Holly Rachel Vukadinovi, and Rachel (née Stephens), of English and Spanish descent. In Belgrade, Serbia, former Yugoslavia, her father was a former pianist and model. Her mother, whose father was a Benny Hill cousin, was a model in the United Kingdom. Valance's parents divorced in 1986, but she has a sister, Coco. Rajko was remarried later, and Holly has a half-sister, Olympia, who has also appeared in Neighbours (2014–2018). A "new imported European clothes store" was located in Melbourne. "She began modelling as a child, and by 14 she was earning $200 an hour modeling children's clothes and teenage jargon." Valance grew up in Melbourne and moved to the United Kingdom when she was 18 years old; she holds both Australian and British citizenship. After two years in Los Angeles, where she spent seven years before returning to the United Kingdom.
Personal life
Valance returned to the United Kingdom in 2009 after living in Los Angeles for seven years. After appearing in the video for his "Confusion Girl" single this summer, she had a brief chat with English singer Vince Frank (FrankMusik). Alex O'Loughlin, a female actor, had dated her from 2005 to 2009. Valance married billionaire British property developer Nick Candy in Beverly Hills, California, on September 29, 2012. Valance welcomed a daughter in London in November 2013. They had a second daughter in September 2017.
Valance fired Scott Michaelson, her then-manager, by telephone 15 months before his deal was due to end. Biscayne Partners filed a lawsuit against Valance Corp., which was awarded damages by the Supreme Court of New South Wales. Michaelson's mother testified at the trial that she felt she had been uninhibited as a leader, causing her to take over from him. Kym Valentine, the former Neighbours co-star, also gave evidence that Valance "said she was feeling sick, a bit ashamed," and that "the solicitors for her record company would have her out of the deal and would fax him the paper work (from the United Kingdom) to do so." Valance denied that she told Valentine that she had told him this despite the fact that she had signed an affidavit claiming she had no recall of the conversation.
"I have given serious consideration to the issue of whether or not the circumstances presently before the court appear to indicate both a deliberate disregard of the rights of Biscayne and a cynical pursuit of wealth," Justice Clifford Einstein said. Valance Corp. was ordered by the court to pay $350,000 to Biscayne Partners Pty. Ltd. Ms Valance and Mr Michaelson had bought together on the London Stock Exchange, but the court did not recommend Biscayne receiving a portion of her album's revenues, State of Mind.
Valance has also appeared in advertisements for Schwarzkopf hair care products and 1800 Reverse, in addition to film and television roles. Valance was featured in an advertisement for Foster's Gold bottled beer in 2011.
