Holly Valance Kisses Bodyguard Grant Gale, Former Soldier Who Once Protected Her Family

Holly Valance has been spotted sharing a passionate kiss with her new man, Grant Gale, and it’s clear she’s moving on after her split from billionaire Nick Candy. The Neighbours star, 42, was photographed locking lips with the 34-year-old ex-soldier in a public display of affection in a London park.

Grant, from Newport, Wales, used to work as a bodyguard at the £270 million family home in Chelsea that Holly once shared with her ex-husband. His role as part of the security team protecting Holly, Nick, and their two children adds an intriguing twist to their blossoming relationship. The pair were seen walking hand-in-hand through the sunny park before Holly playfully reached up to kiss Grant, who wrapped her in his jacket to keep her warm.

This new romance follows Holly’s split from Nick Candy, 63, after 13 years of marriage. Last week, news broke that Nick’s luxury mansion in Chelsea had been sold for a staggering £270 million, making it one of the world’s priciest real estate deals.

Though Holly was previously linked to far-right figure Tommy Robinson, the spark with Grant Gale seems to be something real, as they were spotted enjoying a quiet coffee date and engaging in deep conversation just days ago.

Grant is also connected to business, being listed as the director of Pretty Rifle Ltd, a wholesale clothing and footwear company. His Instagram, where he once posted a picture wearing a “Spartan” t-shirt while holding a gun, has since been deleted, adding an air of mystery to his past.

Dressed casually in black leggings and Nike trainers, Holly looked radiant as she enjoyed the day with Grant, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the actress.
