Candice was already 74 when her daughter first became pregnant. She never pushed the idea of having children on Chloe.
"I know better than to have suggested it to her," she said of the pregnancy. But when Chloe was finally expecting, she was "over-the-moon excited" about the prospect of having a grandchild.
"I've been very discreet, but I'm just thrilled for her," she said of her feelings regarding the blessing Chloe was about to receive.
The excitement Candice and her family had finally culminated in happiness on May 19, 2020. A COVID baby, Arthur Louis Albert was born after an easy and healthy pregnancy.
Chloe had her son with her husband, Graham Albert.
Soon after his arrival, an insider source gave insight into Candice's happiness.
"Candice is exuberant," the source told Closer magazine at the time. "She's thrilled to embrace this new chapter in her life. It's pure love."
And as soon as he was born, the first-time grandmother got into spoiling the little guy, in good ways, of course.
"She has gone over the top!" the same insider source told the publication. However, her methods of spoiling were familiar.
Because Candice loves books so much, she got her grandson sets of classic books. There were so many of them; she could read those to him until he was five.
And there's fashion, of course. She also ordered enough clothes for the little man to be well-dressed all the time.

One thing he got that wasn't new was his ride. He was handed down the same yellow and red car Chloe played with when she was two.
