Candice King: Past Relationship, Divorced, Children
Candice King has married once. She was previously married to The Fray guitarist Joe King. In 2012, the two began dating after the actress’s costar Nina Dobrev introduced them at a Super Bowl event.
Shortly after, the pair got engaged in May 2013. On October 18, 2014, they tied the knot in New Orleans, Louisiana. Candice then became a stepmother to King’s two daughters, Ava and Elise, from his previous relationship.
Further, she also shared two daughters with her now-estranged husband, Joe. In January 2016, the former couple welcomed their first child together a daughter Florence.
Similarly, they were blessed with a second daughter named Josephine in December 2020. Nevertheless, their marriage didn’t last long, and got divorced after eight years of marriage.
In May 2022, Accola filed for divorce from Joe citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their divorce.
In early January 2023, the actress spoke publicly about her divorce while appearing on an episode of iHeartRadio’s “Scrubbing In” podcast. She shared at the time,
“I have some personal … I have really big changes going on in my life. I’ll just say that to keep it very simple. It involves a lot of grief and big changes can have all the feelings.”
