Candice revealed that she blamed herself for her husband’s part in the scandal. “I hoped the terrible stuff was behind us. We love Cape Town and it’s where Dave proposed to me in 2014. I was beginning to feel that first stage of being pregnant – the subtle changes to my body was kicking in. We were overwhelmed, knowing another little Warner was on the way,” Candice told Women’s Weekly.
