friend/spouse

Kandee dated –

1. Husband number 1 – She left an amateur modeling career and got married at the age of 17. She had her first child, a son named Jordan Sannicks, at age 18. Kandee was unhappy in a verbally abusive and controlling marriage. She added that her husband would rather spend time with his friends than take care of his wife and child. Therefore, the couple separated shortly after the marriage. Along with her son Jordan, Kandee moved into her parents’ home in Nevada. Her firstborn is an artist turned international male high fashion model.
2. Husband number 2 – On her personal blog, Kandee confessed that she married her second husband shortly after a few months of dating him. After having their first child with husband #2, their mutual differences escalated, leading them to consider a divorce. It was around this time that she found out she was pregnant for the third time. She had a daughter named Alani and a son named Blake with her second husband and shares custody with him. He does not allow her to share any pictures or videos with the two children on her official YouTube channel or blog.
3. Unknown boyfriend – Kandee dated a man for a few months, which resulted in her fourth unplanned pregnancy. Logging a few moments of the day, she went into labor in January 2011 giving birth to her fourth child, a daughter named Elyse Kailani. The identity of the baby’s father is not known.
4. Michael Castro – singer/songwriter Michael briefly met Kandee at a public event and was totally smitten with her and started following her online. When Kandee called her Twitter followers to ask questions for a new video, Michael took the moment to ask her out over dinner. That got Kandee’s attention. Since Michael lived in Nashville, Tennessee, halfway across the country from Kandee, the couple began communicating online. After a few months, Kandee was scheduled to cover a music festival near Nashville. Michael drove there for the couple’s first date. In September 2015, the couple announced their engagement. As of 2018, the couple is still together.
