The Kanye thing. What I have heard is that Ali leaked that relationship and Candice didn’t immediately want it out. Candice was apparently upset about her parents learning she was dating someone black because she felt they would be disappointed in her. I’ve heard from several that her parents are racist, which isn’t that hard for me to believe given the South Africa context and her mother’s social media following.

The more troubling thing with the Kanye angle is that apparently before he started dating Candice, he was dating another close friend of hers. Not going to say the name but she was growing closer to Kanye and really liked him (had not hooked up with him yet). She confided in Candice about it and asked Candice for advice. Candice encouraged her to stop seeing him and three months later, Candice started talking to him. This person confronted Candice and Candice started playing victim (which is my understanding of what she did with Joan too, repeatedly). She blamed it on Ali and her life being complicated.

Harry and her relationship was very short from what I’ve heard. The story is that her wanted to keep their dating private because it was very early. Candice’s people leaked it anyway. He sent her a long message saying he noticed and didn’t like it. She blamed it on a gay friend of hers and apologized but from what I’ve heard, Harry stopped talking to her over it.

The Kanye and Tom occurrences are especially sad because what I’ve heard from others is that when she was confronted, by the anonymous person and by Joan respectively, she didn’t deny any of the wrongdoing but basically tried to excuse it/justify it. With Joan I’ve heard she reported to say she didn’t know Tom and her were serious. But not sure how that flies when your friend was confiding in you and dated this man for 8 months.

All of this is from people that know her very well. None of what I attest to as personally having witnessed.

Wow, this is fascinating, thank you so much for sharing. 🙏🙏🙏

Someone keeps bringing up Helly Nahmad in here, anything on him and Candice, he seems like a tight friend of Joan's

Oh wait I completely forgot about Shaffer, why did that end, dated for like 2 years?

I don’t think they dated for 2 years. This started around the mid 2024. No one knows why they ended but she was not into him.

I don't like the guy, but it's clear to see that this is fake. She did it with JD Vance too.

I don't personally know Joan, only know a few people that know her. My guess would be that there may be some cost to her career or personhood to discuss further details at this point but honestly not sure.

In regards to making this relationship legitimate-- I think only Candice has this concern, not so much Tom from what I've heard. Joan didn't speak about it for months so perhaps Candice had no reason to think Joan ever would. It's widely discussed within their circles that Tom has been hooking up with several women while hooking up with Candice. He had no desire to make this public and is still not thrilled about it. The stories her PR team has been planting in the media make it seem like Candice is desperate to make it look like she's being taken seriously by Tom but that she herself is not taking this relationship so seriously (like another user speculated, it would seem this would be to soften the blow for when this inevitably ends).

A small part of me thinks Joan should say her pierce. If your best friend of 15 years helps craft texts for you to send to a f**kboy and is helping you navigate a relationship, encouraging you to break up with this man, etc., and after knowing how invested you were, goes on to start dating him, that is so incredibly foul and says a lot about a person's character. I understand why she's hurt and feels betrayed. But a larger part of me thinks continuing to talk about this would invite people to think that she's still hung up on Tom and that's... embarrassing.

I think Joan has already cost her career a little with how she's behaved so may as well let it all out. I guess she's trying to let this drag out for a while before she tells more. It gives her attention too.

If this has been going on for months, I wonder what triggered Joan to go nuclear. Was it seeing Candice at the VS show acting normal? Was it Candice finally unfollowing her? She could have done this at any point, but waited.

I've also always thought Candice to be an incredibly private person as she is a model who I know very little about despite being relatively more popular than other models. She barely speaks and is very plain/vanilla in how she comes across. What I find interesting is that multiple people have said that she's pulled similar shit to this joan/tom thing with other model friends and their famous partners in the past (namely Kanye West, I don't know the model he was dating at the time). There has been speculation for a long time that she was very unhappy with Hermann and thought of herself as superior to him.

I used to roll my eyes at the Adriana stans on bellazon that would point out that Candice tended to gravitate towards models she felt more successful than (Behati) or towards models that were well beyond her years (such as Gisele). I'm starting to see a picture come together based on what I've been hearing as of late. I also think there's some credibility to the rumors I used to hear about Candice wanting to follow in Gisele's footsteps/be seen with the same esteem. She's carving that path but she doesn't bring the personality or presence.

It's also said that Gisele and Candice went to the Bahamas in 2020 on vacation. So that in itself is sketchy, because now you're with this woman's ex husband? Big yikes.

Honestly, I think that Candice should hope that Joan doesn't go on a podcast or say her piece because I don't think Candice would ever be able to respond or communicate effectively in a long format interview. I've never seen her speak beyond those short VS interviews where she answers what her favorite VS make up product is. Has she done a long interview before?

With respect, models can go to a destination multiple times within their lifetime.

What I’ve heard from multiple people that know her is that she was interested in developing a friendship and closer relationship with Gisele during that time. And they’ve claimed that they vacationed together in the Bahamas.

Also want to point out, look how few photos have been out of Candice and Tom. When celebrities want to keep things private or not be photographed, they’ll often find a way. My understanding is that there are plenty of private islands in the Bahamas.

I’m not suggesting that the two were best friends. I think it may even be the case that Gisele doesn’t care about what’s happening in Tom’s life or that she’s dating him. But I don’t see a reason for multiple people that know her to say they vacationed together if they didn’t.

To be fair, Hermann didn't seem that great. From what I've read, he was a serial cheater. I'm sure there are other things as well that happened that lead to their breakup.

Tom and Gisele did own a home in Baker's Bay (where Candice vacationed with her family in August while Tom was in France). It's very private.

She never talks about her personal life outside of little things about her kids and being a mother. She's never done a long interview. Even when she did the VS podcast with Lily A., she didn't talk too much. I don't think she's ever going to address this stuff. I don't think Joan will let it go though.

I'm surprised there are no photos of them together. Allegedly the paparazzi are following them around yet we've gotten nothing.

Can one of you tell me why Candice still insists on being so close to Ali Kavoussi? Has she ever commented on his very deep Epstein connections? (reddit link below). He is objectively a nefarious man.

Why does Candice see no issues with this?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Epstein/s/ovoUmRVULQ

She's never going to get rid of Ali especially at this point in her life. He isn't really doing much for her professionally. She does the same 5 jobs and magazine covers every year. She's not going to talk about this just like she didn't really comment on the rumor about the email that spread.

قضیه کانیه. چیزی که من شنیده‌ام این است که علی این رابطه را لو داده و کندیس نمی‌خواسته فوراً آن را فاش کند. کندیس ظاهراً از اینکه والدینش فهمیده‌اند او با یک سیاه‌پوست قرار می‌گذارد ناراحت بوده، چون احساس می‌کرده که از او ناامید می‌شوند. از چند نفر شنیده‌ام که والدینش نژادپرست هستند، که با توجه به شرایط آفریقای جنوبی و تعداد دنبال‌کنندگان مادرش در شبکه‌های اجتماعی، باورش برایم سخت نیست.

نکته نگران‌کننده‌تر در مورد رابطه‌اش با کانیه این است که ظاهراً قبل از اینکه با کانیه قرار بگذارد، با یکی دیگر از دوستان نزدیک کانیه قرار می‌گذاشته است. نمی‌خواهم اسمش را بگویم، اما کانیه به کانیه نزدیک‌تر می‌شد و واقعاً از او خوشش می‌آمد (هنوز با کانیه قرار نگذاشته بود). او این موضوع را با کانیه در میان گذاشت و از کانیه راهنمایی خواست. کانیه او را تشویق کرد که دیگر با او قرار نگذارد و سه ماه بعد، کانیه شروع به صحبت با او کرد. این شخص با کانیه روبرو شد و کانیه شروع به بازی کردن نقش قربانی کرد (که من از کاری که او بارها با جون انجام داد، همین برداشت را دارم). او تقصیر را گردن علی و زندگی پیچیده‌اش انداخت.

رابطه هری و او از آنچه شنیده‌ام خیلی کوتاه بوده است. داستان از این قرار است که او می‌خواست قرار گذاشتنشان را خصوصی نگه دارد چون خیلی زود بود. به هر حال اطرافیان کندیس ماجرا را لو دادند. کندیس یک پیام طولانی برایش فرستاد و گفت که متوجه شده و از آن خوشش نیامده است. کندیس تقصیر را گردن یکی از دوستان همجنسگرایش انداخت و عذرخواهی کرد، اما از آنچه شنیده‌ام، هری دیگر به خاطر این موضوع با او صحبت نکرد.

اتفاقات مربوط به کانیه و تام به طور ویژه ناراحت کننده است، زیرا چیزی که از دیگران شنیده‌ام این است که وقتی او، به ترتیب توسط فرد ناشناس و جوآن، مورد انتقاد قرار گرفت، هیچ یک از اشتباهاتش را انکار نکرد، بلکه اساساً سعی کرد آن را توجیه کند/بهانه تراشی کند. در مورد جوآن شنیده‌ام که او گزارش داده که نمی‌دانسته تام و او چقدر جدی هستند. اما مطمئن نیستم که این چطور توجیه می‌شود وقتی دوست شما به شما اعتماد کرده و 8 ماه با این مرد قرار گذاشته است.

همه اینها از طرف افرادی است که او را خیلی خوب می‌شناسند. هیچ‌کدام از چیزهایی که من شخصاً شاهد آنها بوده‌ام را تأیید نمی‌کنم.

You mentioned Ali and the Epstein island; have there been any rumors about Candice as well?Excuse me, could you send me a private message and tell me who Kanye's friend was? 🙌🙏

I'm pretty sure they were dating by the time they were all photographed on that boat in Mykonos August 2023

By all I mean - Candice, Doutzen, Joan, Shaffer, Jerome, Sunnery, Glen Powell, Gita

I think it would be weird for him to be there if they weren't dating already

Edited to say Mykonos instead of Ibiza, my bad

Side note 1. DeuxMoi again gave us nothing

Side note 2. Dawn didn't repost Candice's birthday post, very much team Joan, which we already knew, wonder why Candice posted it anyway if she knows Dawn is team Joan

Shaffer started August 2023 and ended at May 2025, almost 2 years yeah

How do you know it was May? She was liking his posts up until July 2025

He had another post with a long caption after July 2025, and buried in it he said he was in love and Candice liked that one too, but he deleted it I think a few weeks after...? Not sure why though he doesn't keep a lot on his grid

Liking his posts is a thing but she wasn't hanging out with him and he wasn't going to her house anymore, since May 2025

Prob before Aug tbh, but she was w/ Shaffer a lot (his bday) in 2023.

She supported his restaurant opening late last year. Said before on here, but since Hermann he’s the most time/public she’s been with any man.

If you look into it, Shaffer didn’t go on any trips with the whole group. During last year’s vacation to Europe in June and July—which included Candice, Bravin, Joan, Gita, Dawn, and others—Shaffer wasn’t present at any point; this is quite different from 2024, when he seemed to be like a shadow, always hanging around.

You know what, that's actually kind of a good point, I don't think he was at Joan's birthday trip to Ibiza, I thought that was weird, just thought he had work or something, thought maybe it was a girl trip type thing, but Helly Nahmad was ALSO there, hmmmmm, idk what to think anymore, you got me thinking on this one

Seriously it has been 20 pages... can you all pleas calm down with that gossip so we can enjoy her pics again? thanks.

The thread was dead vatras, it was supplanted by DCandiceCom on Insta, and now DCandiceCom is dead, everyone is dying all over the place, can't you see all the dead bodies on the floor?

While I’ve joined in on the discussion and find all this gossip about Candice entertaining, I can understand why some of you might be getting a little tired of it, so I’m not sure if you’d like to consider creating a private message group here on the forum for those interested in the gossip, so as not to bother those who don’t want to read it. As far as I understand, it’s possible to create private message groups with multiple users (or at least it used to be). I’d be interested in joining. I don’t feel comfortable thinking I might be bothering others.

Although, by the way, it’s not as if Candice’s career has been particularly dynamic and full of content in recent years. Beyond her work with VS (which is usually limited to the show and, at most, a specific campaign), Tropic of C when they release a collection and the occasional paid promo for Alo, there isn’t really much else going on. Ali could do a much better job as her agent.

Dawn did repost. I saw it. But why Dawn, no Gita?

I’m sad for her friend group. A non-committed Tom Brady not worth losing a committed support system. :(
