Candice Accola (née Accola) and more stars from The Vampire Diaries franchise have offered a glimpse at their families off screen. Candice welcomed her first daughter, Florence, with Joe King in January 2016. The couple later expanded their family with daughter Josephine. (Joe also shares daughters Elise and Ava with ex-wife Julie.) In May 2022, Us Weekly confirmed that Candice had filed for divorce from Joe due to "irreconcilable differences." According to court docs, the twosome pulled the plug on their relationship earlier that year after previously celebrating seven years of marriage.
