(4 July 2002 - 2013) (divorced)
In 2002, Candace met Charles Askegard, a 6ยด4" principal dancer for the New York City Ballet (aged 33 at the time, he is 10 years her junior).
The two were introduced by friends at a $3,000-a-plate spring benefit for his ballet company. They instantly hit it off and spent a long night dancing at Bungalow 8. "We fell in love the night we met," gushes Candace. Within five weeks, they were talking marriage, and three weeks later, they tied the knot in a low-key, July 4 beach wedding in Nantucket. They both walked down the aisle barefoot—she in a Ralph Lauren dress with pink roses in her hair, he in a white Prada suit. "I waited for the right person, and I encourage other women to do the same," says Candace. She couldn`t care less about being branded a cougar. "[It`s] a derogatory term used to make a woman feel uncomfortable because she`s not keeping up the status quo. When have I kept up the status quo?" asks Candace.
From 2002 to 2012, Bushnell was married to Charles Askegard, a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet who was ten years her junior, and whom she had met eight weeks before. They decided to divorce in 2011. She found the experience disorienting, telling The Guardian, "When I got divorced, I couldn’t get a mortgage; I didn’t fit into a computer model. All of a sudden, I was invited to no more couple things. Being single is hard and there’s something a bit heroic about it."
