Candy & Ryan: The sad truth about our split

For weeks, House Rules contestants Candy and Ryan have tried to hose down reports of a split.

But now, the once loved-up NSW couple have confirmed to New Idea they have, in fact, parted ways – with the future of their newly renovated home in doubt.

Candy and Ryan reveal they have split up after five years together in this week's New Idea magazine, on sale now!

Ryan exclusively tells New Idea: "We probably knew about the second reno in. We bandaged up the relationship and tried to make it work as best we could, but as soon as the show was finished, that was it."

Now the question remains: what happens to the house?

"That’s up to Ryan," says Candy.

"I want to sell the house but Ryan wants to keep it and maybe sell it in a couple of months without me. It’s in our solicitors" hands now.
