Candice Brook is an American model, singer, and reality TV personality, best known today as the longtime girlfriend of German international footballer Leroy Sane.
While much of her public recognition comes from her relationship with Sane, Candice built her own identity in entertainment well before they got together, with a modeling career, music credits, and a colorful dating history that once made her a tabloid fixture in her own right.

Candice Brook Biography
She was born on July 18, 1987, in New York City, United States. Candice Brook grew up in New York under her parents’ care and completed her schooling there before pursuing modeling and music.
Her father works as a businessman, and her mother is an interior designer, both based in the United States. Beyond that, Candice has kept most details about her family, including her parents’ names, out of the public eye.
There is no confirmed public record of a sibling. She has not shared specific details about her university education, and it remains unclear whether she pursued a degree or entered modeling and music directly after high school.
Candice built her early career as a model and singer. In 2016, she appeared on the reality television show “About the Business,” alongside Eva Marcille, which helped raise her public profile. The same year, she was featured in a song by artist Emile Danero titled “Tell Me Part 2.”
Her modeling work and media appearances steadily grew her following, but it was her high-profile relationship with Leroy Sane that brought her to a much wider international audience, particularly among football fans in Germany and England.
Leroy Sane Girlfriend
Candice Brook and Leroy Sane began dating in 2017, during Sané’s time at Manchester City. The relationship became public later that year after the couple had reportedly kept things private in its early stages. Exactly how the two met has never been publicly confirmed.
Their relationship has endured several years, and multiple club moves for Sané, who transferred from Manchester City to Bayern Munich in 2020.
Throughout his time in Germany, Candice has remained a steady presence, both as a partner and as a mother to his children.
In a notable moment for the couple, German outlet Bild reported that Candice’s influence helped Sané’s on-field communication with new Bayern teammate Harry Kane during the 2023-2024 season.
Because Sané is fluent in English, a skill credited partly to his relationship with American-born Candice and his years playing in England, he was able to communicate easily with Kane, who was still adjusting to life in Germany and learning the language.
The bayern munich coach that season praised the pair’s on-field chemistry that season, which Bild dubbed a “dream couple” partnership in attack. As of now, Candice and Leroy have not married, though they have built a family together and remain in a committed long-term relationship.
Before settling down with Leroy Sane, Candice had a high-profile dating history that kept her in tabloid headlines for several years.
She was previously linked to rapper French Montana, R&B singer Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj’s former partner Safaree Samuels, and NBA player Andre Drummond.
Her connection to Chris Brown drew particular public attention, with photos circulating that suggested the two were involved.
That relationship did not last, and she was later seen publicly with Safaree Samuels before that relationship also ended.
These past relationships made her a recognizable name in entertainment circles even before her relationship with Sané began.
Children
Candice is the mother of two children. Her first child, a son named Tobias, was born from a previous relationship prior to her time with Sané. The identity of Tobias’s father has not been publicly confirmed.
Candice and Leroy Sané welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Rio Stella, in September 2018. The couple later welcomed a second child together, a son named Milo.
Both children have been raised between Sané’s career stops in England and Germany, with Candice managing much of the family’s day-to-day life while balancing her own modeling and music work.
She has been candid about the demands of co-parenting while supporting her partner’s football career, often traveling between countries to keep the family together during the football season.
