Despite backlash, Candace defended the image on her Instagram story. She addressed Christian fans who found it inappropriate, explaining that her husband’s touch was a reflection of their strong, healthy relationship. “We have so much fun together… This is what a healthy, good marriage and relationship is all about,” she expressed.

On their 20th anniversary, Candace acknowledged the challenges they’ve faced while celebrating their enduring love. In response to the criticism, Candace affirmed her stance, saying, “I’m sorry if it offended you … I’m actually not sorry. I’m glad that we have fun together after so many years and he can touch me all day long.”
