Right-wing glamour couple Holly, 42, and Nick, 52 — both key figures in the rise of Reform — were last photographed together in March, heading out for lunch in London.

A family friend said: “This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly, and they are keeping things private out of respect for their family.

“The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority. They’ve had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick’s intense work commitments, it’s been a tough balance.

“This is a family matter and they’re doing their best to handle things thoughtfully. Privacy is obviously very important to them both, so they can focus on what’s best for the family.”

Nick, who is the treasurer of Nigel Farage’s Reform, met Holly in 2009 and proposed two years later.

They married in 2012 in a £3million California ceremony in front of 300 guests, including Simon Cowell.

Holly found fame on Neighbours as Felicity “Flick” Scully before launching a career as a pop star. Her 2002 debut album Footprints spawned three hits, including Kiss Kiss, which went to No 1.

Nick started his property business with brother Christian in the early 1990s while working in advertising.

The pair now have a vast portfolio, including One Hyde Park — made up of 86 luxury apartments in central London — worth just over £1billion.

Last year, Nick announced he had shunned his Conservative Party membership in favour of Reform.


He was appointed as the party’s treasurer in December and pledged to raise tens of millions for Mr Farage, including giving a seven-figure sum himself.

Holly has become a high-profile figure in right-wing politics.

She visited US President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in 2022 with her husband and Mr Farage. She also attended former Tory PM Boris Johnson’s wedding in 2021.

And she is credited with encouraging Mr Farage to run for Parliament.

On her political views, she said last year: “Everyone starts off as a leftie and then wakes up at some point after making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home, then realises what crap ideas they all are.”

A spokesman for the couple said: “This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment.”
