Candice Warner breaks down as she describes ‘about to end her life’ after going to the toilet with Sonny Bill Williams and fears explaining to her daughters: ‘It ruined my life’
Candice Warner has shared the devastating consequences of her ‘bathroom visit’ with Sonny Bill Williams.
The WAG says her life was “ruined” when the hook-up in the Clovelly Hotel bathroom was made public in 2007, and she considered taking her own life.
“I was so close to ending it,” she told this week’s issue of Stellar magazinewhile it breaks tears.
“The only thing I did wrong was go to a place I shouldn’t have been. That was it. Still, it ruined my life. It ruined parts of my family’s life – years we can never get back’
Candice went on to say she dreads explaining the deal to her young daughters when they are old enough.

“It’s so hard to put into words without breaking into tears because it was so painful. It still is,” she said.
“One day I’ll have to explain to my girls what it’s all about. That’s heartbreaking.”
Candice shares daughters Ivy Mae, eight, Indi Rae, seven, and Isla Rose, three, with Australian cricketer David Warner, 36.
The Ironwoman said she lost her job and “no one respected her” after it was made public.
“I still carry that scar and that pain. My family had to be humiliated… it changed their lives,” she said.

“I was almost suicidal. I’ve been through a lot at such a young age. I got to the point where I literally couldn’t take it anymore,” she told The Daily Telegraph in 2020.

Candice married David in 2015 and they share three daughters Ivy Mae, eight, Indi Rae, seven, and Isla Rose, three.
