EXCLUSIVE Inside the Candyman's secret love life drama as his ex Nisha breaks her silence about life in a three-way relationship with his wife - as he VANISHES from the spotlight
Nisha Downes moved into the sprawling 'Candy Shop Mansion' home of married Mr Beynon - who dubbed himself the Candyman due to his gaudy, Instagram-focused lifestyle - on Queensland 's sunny Gold Coast in 2015.
Now, 29, Nisha confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that she has traded in her old life of wild parties, designer shopping sprees and sex for a more conventional relationship and way of living.
'I was 19 when I moved in (to his 'Candy Shop Mansion') and when I turned 27 I wondered if [the relationship] was what I really wanted,' she admitted.
'I started thinking about my life and how long did I really want to do this for. Stuff like, 'if we did have kids would I be comfortable in that dynamic, forever?'.'
This December marks three years since she farewelled the gaudy home and opulent estate in Helensvale for 'a new life'.
'Nothing hectic happened… in the end,' she said. 'I just felt being with one person would be a bit more intimate.'
Still living on the Gold Coast, Nisha has traded in her string bikini for corporate attire - working as a development manager in the construction industry.
Unearthed footage of her mansion 'audition' 11 years ago shows Downes, then 19, meeting Beynon and his wife for the first time, admitting she 'stalks' his social media pages and 'loves to party'.
Later in the video, Ms Downes revealed that she was 'a bit obsessed' with the 47-year-old.
She admits she sometimes got a bit jealous of other women in the house, including Mr Beynon's wife of a decade, Taesha.
'I respect that Taesha is Travers' wife and she respects that I'm his girlfriend,' she says.
'Looking at him, I'm like, it's so crazy to think that's my boyfriend.
'My mum was definitely concerned. She did call me and tell me she didn't want me to move in but I was just like, 'Well, you can come and see what it's all about, meet Trav and Taesha so you're more comfortable with it'.
'Then mum came up with her husband and mum's just obsessed with him, and she can see me now for months after living in Melbourne.
'I'm healthy and happy. I look better than I have before.'
For more than a decade, Beynon's 'Candy Shop Mansion' has been the talk of the Gold Coast with its annual parties.
Until the pandemic, he regularly hosted hundreds of guests at a time. There was the odd incident.
In 2015, fireworks set off for his annual shindig sparked a brush fire across the canal, which was witnessed by a Daily Mail Australia reporter who attended the party.
And in 2018, Beynon was slapped with a $13,000 council fine after complaints about a giant topless Virgin Mary statue.
The flamboyant businessman certainly was not shy about sharing glimpses of his lavish lifestyle on social media with his millions of followers on social media - including stunt photos of naked women lying down covered in sushi.
But Beynon has since stepped back from posting. He last shared a public update to Facebook back in April 2023, while his last TikTok post occurred in August 2019.
It's apparently a similar story for the Beynon family tobacco empire, with the main FreeChoice Tobacco site also currently offline.
While its franchise stores are still operating, the Gold Coast Bulletin reported that FreeChoice vacated its Gold Coast head office in February, with the space, owned by one of Beynon's companies, now leased to a new business.
It comes amid what appears to be a period of upheaval for Beynon with the playboy recently having another crack at offloading his Candyland mansion.
Beynon first listed the 14-bedroom canal-side property back in 2023 and, at one stage, it had an eye-watering $25million price tag attached.
The Gold Coast Bulletin reported in May that Beynon had enlisted another agent to give the property the push it needs to get it over the line.
He had engaged the services of agents Ivy Wu and Isaac Kim from Ivy Realty to run an expression of interest campaign for the lavish property.
Travers originally purchased the home, located in the northern Gold Coast suburb of Helensvale, in 2010.
He later snapped up neighbouring land, effectively tripling the footprint of the compound.
The property sits on a substantial 1.4 acres with 175m of private water frontage. The house itself is set across an expansive 2,230 square-metre floorplan and boasts mosaic murals and hand-painted frescos.

Bec Judd's brutally honest podcast hits major milestone just 24 hours after being launched as the WAG's new venture becomes a smash hit
Rebecca Judd is on cloud nine after her brand new podcast soared to the top of the charts less than 24 hours after launching. The AFL WAG, 42, took to Instagram on Monday to celebrate hitting number one on Apple Podcasts with her new beauty and lifestyle series Vain-ish, which she co-hosts with best friend Jess Roberts. 'Your Vain-ish gals are number 1 on Apple!!! 24hrs in and we've been blown away by your support,' Bec captioned the post. In the image, the duo are seen lounging in matching black mini dresses and Christian Louboutin heels, complete with face masks, white sunglasses and towels wrapped around their heads. 'Thanks to @listnrentertainment for believing in us. Love Bec and Jess and @vainishpodcast.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. In the background, a Louis Vuitton shopping bag and several luxury beauty boxes were visible, setting the scene for the ultimate WAG-approved pamper session. It didn't take long for Bec's inner circle of fellow WAGs and influencers to rally behind her in the comments section. 'You go girls!!! Incredible x,' gushed fashion designer Nadia Bartel. Former Miss World Australia Erin Holland also showed her support, commenting with a string of clapping emojis. It's a major win for Bec and Jess, who have already made headlines for their brutally honest discussions about beauty standards, cosmetic procedures and wellness hacks. During the debut episode, Judd gave fans an in-depth look at her morning beauty routine - revealing she kicks off her day with an infrared sauna, applies fake tan, wears false lashes, and even plucks out every single grey hair she can find. 'I have hair extensions sewn in, I used a prescription lash serum this morning to make my eyelashes grow better and I've got a fresh set of shellac gel nails,' she revealed on the show. She also removes her Invisalign trays to squeeze in a 15-minute whitening session, before downing a breakfast of superfood porridge with glutamate and a collagen smoothie. 'I stuck my silicone nipple pads on, I overdrew my lips, I contoured my face and pulled my hair back into a really tight pony to give myself a non-surgical brow lift before I waltzed into this studio,' she added. The mother-of-four has also been candid about trying high-end treatments like the 'salmon sperm facial' - a biostimulatory injectable that hydrates and rejuvenates thinning skin. Speaking to Stellar magazine recently, the Jaggad founder vowed to be completely transparent about the lengths she goes to in order to maintain her youthful glow. 'I'm 42, and I don't have a line on my face. I'm telling you it's not because I get eight hours' sleep a night, all right?' she said. Judd added that 2025 should be the year women stop being shamed for discussing the procedures they've had done. 'You get to a certain age where it's like, come on, let's be a bit more honest. This is the year where we stop bullsh***ing everyone and we fess up,' she said on the podcast. It comes after Bec shared a photo of her neck visibly swollen and red following a non-invasive Exion microneedling treatment with her cosmetic nurse Claire McGuinness, asking followers to 'give me Kris Jenner's neck without the surgery.'

On Sunday, the 53-year-old actress appeared giddy as she shared a laugh with her off-again-on-again partner of seven years. She kept it casual as she stepped out of his pickup truck for a morning stroll. The Elektra star dressed for comfort as she paired a butter yellow, long-sleeved T-shirt with navy blue leggings, green socks and black running sneakers. She shielded her eyes from the sun in a denim blue baseball cap and oversize sunglasses as she shared a laugh with her beau, who seemed to be dressed for a different casual occasion, at one point. Meanwhile, her ex-husband Ben Affleck was looking glum during a separate outing in the city after his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez released a heartbreaking song about their divorce. He appeared solemn as he stepped out in the city, with his car keys, his phone and a pack of cigarettes in his hands. For his solo outing, the Batman star layered a blue button-down shirt over a white T-shirt, rolling up the sleeves for the warm weather. His business casual outfit also comprised of dark jeans and matching Jordan sneakers. He was seen walking through a busy alley while running errands. He appeared to be a glum mood as his ex-wife JLo had recently dropped a song about their divorce, in which she referred to their failed marriage as 'wreckage.' He has also been stuck in a marital home turmoil as his and Lopez's $60 million mansion fails to sale even though it has been up for sale for a year. Since then, he has also been hunting for a pad closer to his ex Jennifer Garner for their kids. He and Garner were previously married for a decade before separating in 2015. The former couple share three teenage children: Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13. She has been dating Miller since 2018, the same year her divorce with Affleck was finalized. Meanwhile, her ex-husband Ben Affleck was looking glum during a separate outing in the city after his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez released a song about their divorce Last August, Lopez filed for divorce from her fourth husband on what would have been their second wedding anniversary. The collapse of their marriage was the culmination of months of rumors that the couple's relationship was skidding towards implosion. Only that February, JLo had put out and album and a movie musical called This Is Me... Now as a paean to Affleck — a follow-up to her 2002 LP This Is Me... Then, written during and about their first romance, which also ultimately went up in smoke. Now she appears to have returned to the subject of him in her music, in the lyrics to a song called Wreckage of You that she played at the listening party. One of the guests, Edgardo Luis Rivera, shared that JLo 'kept thinking of the word "wreck" because it means destruction, but she wasn't destroyed. In fact, the lyrics of the song are: "I'm stronger after the wreckage of you,"' via Us Weekly. 'Wreckage of You is a pop ballad that she told us she cowrote and recorded two weeks ago. She said she was lying in bed after a long day of tour rehearsals when the idea of the song came to her,' Edgardo spilled. 'She mentioned how last year was a very difficult time for her both personally and professionally. She had to cancel her tour and really focus on herself,' he noted. The former couple are also currently struggling with the sale of their marital home after purchasing the mansion in cash for $60.8 million in May 2023, nearly one year into their union.

As they struggled to get the property off their hands, they subsequently lowered the price by $8 million. According to the outlet, real estate records now show the sprawling property has been removed from the market, per People. Last month an insider exclusively told the Daily Mail, 'Ben and JLo slashed the price on their Beverly Hills mansion for $8 million less than they paid for it, but this is nothing to Ben.' 'He really just wants this to be sold so that he can cut the final cord that keeps him and Jennifer intertwined,' it was added.

Meanwhile, Jennifer has started home renovations to her new $17.5M five-bedroom Hidden Hills mansion.

Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori puts on eye-popping display in plunging bodysuit for racy snaps
Kanye West captured more racy snaps of his wife and muse, Bianca Censori, which she proudly shared to her Instagram on Sunday. The Australian architect, 30, sent pulses racing as she posted three new sizzling polaroid images, including one of her posing braless in a plunging white bodysuit that highlighted her ample cleavage. The brunette beauty — who recently shocked onlookers as she stepped out in candy lingerie — rocked what looked to be a shaggy blonde wig for the occasion, along with white stockings and light pink heels. Another outfit saw her in nothing but a pink bra, sheer hosiery, and high heels as she stood in a bare room in front of a window. Meanwhile the last one featured Bianca wearing an oversized white fur coat with heels, and her wavy blonde wig obscuring most of her face. 'Shot by @ye,' she captioned all three of her photos, crediting the controversial rapper, 48, for the shots. Kanye West, 48, captured more racy snaps of his wife and muse, Bianca Censori, 30, which she proudly shared to her Instagram on Sunday A day prior, she shared similar images, wearing a strapless see-through nightie draped over a set of white lingerie. Heightening the retro air of the photo-shoot, Censori was wearing a voluminous blonde hairdo with 1980s waves and a lush fringe. Ever since they secretly tied the knot in 2022, Bianca has consistently shocked fans with the barely-there ensembles her husband styles for her. It comes amid recent reports that Kanye pays Bianca to wear some of her head-turning looks. It is claimed that West chooses her daring looks to not only aid in keeping his 'edgy persona' but to also show that his wife is 'the sexiest woman alive', according to a source who spoke with The U.S. Sun. The source stated that while some of the outfits she wears in public 'aren't to her taste' - she has since learned how to make it an 'advantage.' 'Bianca has figured out how to turn all this into her advantage. A lot of the outfits aren't to her taste. But she tells him she will wear them - if she's paid.' The Heartless rapper had allegedly offered Bianca a salary wage to don head-turning ensembles, but she turned that down, and instead requested that she be paid based on each look. The source added that they believe Censori has made around $3 million due to the deal and said, 'She's essentially monetizing her image.' One outfit that she reportedly was paid $120k to wear was the naked dress ensemble at the 2025 Grammy Awards back in February. The latest post comes four days after it emerged West's visa to her native Australia has been canceled. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has revealed that West is being denied entry to the country over his antisemitic song praising Adolf Hitler. The track, titled Heil Hitler, was dropped by the singer on May 8 and was deemed to be 'promoting Nazism'. As a result, officials revised West's 'lower-level' visa and came to the decision that it would be revoked. 'He's been coming to Australia for a long time. He's got family here and he's made a lot of offensive comments that my officials looked at again,' Burke told the ABC. 'Once he released the Heil Hitler song, he no longer has a valid visa in Australia. 'It wasn't a visa for the purpose of concerts. It was a lower-level and the officials still looked at the law and said, you're going to have a song and promote that sort of Nazism, we don't need that in Australia.' West has flown to Australia in the past, and was most recently believed to be planning a trip Down Under to visit the family of his Australian wife, Bianca Censori. In May, West took aim at Kim Kardashian, referenced his sex life with wife Censori, and continued to profess his love for Adolf Hitler as he released the music video for his vile new song, Heil Hitler (Hooligan Version). The rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the clip, which showed a group of shirtless males draped in animal skins professing their love for Hitler. His chosen day to release the song was also of significance because it fell on VE Day - the 80-year anniversary of when fighting against Nazi Germany in Europe came to an end. In the song, Kanye rapped that he had 'so much anger' inside of him adding: 'these people took my kids from me and they froze my bank account.' The Chicago native has publicly clashed with ex-wife Kim, 44, about the co-parenting of their 11-year-old daughter, North and their three younger kids - daughter Chicago, seven; and sons Saint, nine, and Psalm, five - claiming he has not been allowed to see them. He claimed that be became a Nazi because of his custody battle, singing: 'With all of my money and fame I still don't get to see my children / N*****s see my Twitter but they don't see how I be feeling / So I became a Nazi, yeah b***h, I'm the villain.' The line, 'N****r, heil Hitler' is repeated 15 times in the song. Kanye also referenced his wild antics with new wife Bianca - who he has been accused of 'controlling' by parading her around in near-naked ensembles. In the song he claimed to be a 'cuck'. Cuckholding is widely used to describe the fetish where people (usually men) are turned on by their partners having affairs. He sang: 'Guess I am a cuck, I love when people f**k on my b***h', later adding: 'She reaching down in my pants. She got the world in her hands.' The song ended with Kanye sampling one of Hitler's speech in 1935. Kanye has remained in the crosshairs of controversy for much of the year amid a torrent of posts propagating antisemitism. On February 11, the shop on Kanye's Yeezy Website - which he advertised with an expensive ad during the Super Bowl - was taken offline by Shopify after he was selling a white shirt with a black swastika in the center. Sources close to Kim told that she is now taking extra precautions and has hired guards to be with her 24/7 amid his erratic behavior. The reality star has also told relatives to be careful sharing anything about her children online, the source revealed. She has instructed her closest allies not to post about their locations or upload photos or messages that could identify where they might be. 'She's absolutely horrified,' the source told the Daily Mail. 'Like every time things get bad with Kanye, somehow they get worse.' They finalised their divorce in 2022 and agreed to joint custody of their children, but the conflict between them has continued.
