When Ron Isley exchanged vows with his bride, Kandy –who is 35 years his junior– in 2005, a lot of people were suspicious. At the wedding ceremony, Kandy donned a beautiful, custom made $15,000 gown, Ron gifted her with a $3million necklace, and at the ceremony he slid that big 14 carat diamond rock onto her left hand. George Duke played at their wedding, Philip Bailey serenaded them, Kid Kapri DJ’d the reception, and The Beverly Hills Hotel setting didn’t come cheap…that’s when people really started talking.
Their wedding was somewhat symbolic of the ‘money driven,’ ‘sugar daddy’ suspicions many folks have voiced all over the internet, regarding why a then 28 year old Kandy married a then 63 year old Ronald. In recent years Kandy Isley sat down with Ronald Isley to discuss why she married her husband.
RON ISLEY & WIFE DISCUSS THEIR ATTRACTION
Ron Isley and Kandy dated for 7 years prior to getting married in 2005 and have a teen son together. In a prior interview with KTVI, from their home in St. Louis, MO, Kandy revealed why she’s attracted to her now 79 year old husband:
“He’s a GENTLEMEN! I mean, you’re talking about romance, he puts the ‘R’ in romance…from fine dining, to treating a woman like a man should, with respect. As we developed a relationship, we had a lot of things in common and Ronald…even though he’s older, he’s young at heart.”
Then Ron Isley added:
“She does these amazing things for me, you know. She answers a lot of questions that I need to have answers for you know and she keeps me going.”
Kandy also said “Age ain’t nothing but a number,” and we’re very happy for the lovebirds. BUT many people across the internet don’t feel the same way. See what they’re saying here…
INTERNET REACTIONS OF THOSE WHO QUESTION RON & KANDY’S LOVE
Below is a sample of the comments that have been left on websites and forums from people who don’t think Ron and Kandy’s marriage is solely based off of love:
@LeShannonM: I’m willing to bet that it wasn’t for the meat but for the bread… #Bet! 😌
@Danu: “She’s obviously with him for money. She’s pretty and HALF his age. Money helps a MAN A LOT.”
@Storm: “In my old lady voice, “Them guhs is too nasty, walkin’ ’round them ole min, wit’ dem nekkid dresses on. Probably gotta rub him wit’ liniment when she get off of him.” Eeeeeeeeeeeew, I could see her being attracted to him if he looked like Ed Hochuli —the 59 yr old NFL referee who is finer than many of the players. But Ronald Isley. Unh Unh”
@Unbreak****: “golddigga”
@ExcuseMe*****: “wow…money sure is a drug ain’t it? what these women won’t lay up under and go down on for some borrowed shine, false security and years of bags, trips and shoes….lawwwddddd it could NOT be me.”
But not everyone was against Ron Isley’s and Kandy’s marriage:
@BlackBeaut***: “Well at least she has a husband that can provide for her and her son. People complain when a woman gets with a man for money, or if she gets with a broke man… Damned if you do and damned if you don’t…”
Geesh…some of these comments are harsh! Kandy obviously loves her some ‘Mr. Biggs’ and he obviously loves him some Kandy, so if they’re happy, we’re happy for them.
