Candice Warner has opened up about her decade-long marriage to cricketer David Warner, saying what they have been through as a couple has 'made us even stronger'.
In a new interview with the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About, Candice, 40, said she was 'incredibly proud of where we're at in life, where our kids are at and the parents
that we've become'.
'Our relationship is very strong, but it always has been. Certain situations that we have overcome together have made us even stronger,' she told Something To Talk About.
'We look at our kids and we see them as our biggest achievements,' she added speaking about the couple's three daughters, Ivy, 10, Indi, 9, and Isla, 5.
'We're really proud of how far we've come and that we just didn't give up along the way.'
In the interview with Stellar, Candice explained her and David's decision to launch and manage an Instagram account for their girls (via @thewarner.sisters) at a time when children's relationship with social media is such a hot button issue.
Amassing almost 200,000 followers already, she also reveals how the couple are navigating the harms of social media with their daughters in the digital age … and how they're building resilience in them.

'I don't care what people say about me, about my husband, about us as a family, because
it's their opinion. It's not fact. They don't know us,' Candice told Something To Talk About.
'I'm not here to defend their page. And, I truly believe what [Prime Minister] Anthony Albanese is doing is the right thing to protect young adults from something that can be very dangerous.'
'But we also have an obligation as a parent, most parents have social media, to teach our kids how to use it in a positive way.
'It's wonderful if we know how to use it correctly and if we can empower people or we
can educate people or we could make people smile or laugh.'
Candice said she had prepared herself to hear unsolicited opinions about their decision to launch their Instagram.
