The divorce was finalized in 2004 during Edwards' prison tenure. Candy and Edwin Edwards continued to be close friends, and she visited him often in prison. In 2006, Candy Edwards gave birth to a child named Harrison Arthur Picou Low. The father is Brian Low (born 1975). Low and Candy are not married, and she is still single as of 2012.
