Holly ‘will take Nick for every penny’
In the latest update, it has been reported that Holly and Nick’s divorce could be a messy one.
According to an inside source at The Sun, Holly is “incredibly upset” with her main concern being her two daughters.
“When it comes to the divorce, she’s made it clear she wants what she’s owed and will take Nick for every penny. She insists that she is the injured party in this,” the insider continued.
The pair reportedly signed a pre-nuptial agreement before they married.
The split has been a “very painful time” for Holly, telling friends that the “split was not on her terms”.
“Given the circumstances, it feels as if there could be some room to manoeuvre,” the source added.
“Whatever the sum ends up being, it will be in the tens of millions of pounds.”
ED! has contacted Holly and Nick for comment.
Why Holly Valance left showbiz
In an interview with GBNews last year, Holly revealed she decided to ditch the entertainment industry to be a mum.
“I wanted to have a family, that’s more important to me,” she said, explaining she got pregnant four months after exchanging vows with Nick.
Holly explained she was brought up by a single mum who had to raise herself and her disabled sister. However, in order to support them both, she had to work “two or three jobs”.
The State of Mind hitmaker recognised her husband “has enough money to have food in the fridge” and for their children’s school fees to be paid. Therefore, she was able to stay at home with them, which she said made her the “luckiest person on earth”.
