Candy is shown to be on good terms with most of the Kong family and against the Kremlings. Candy Kong is usually mentioned in various official descriptions to be Donkey Kong's love interest, and often expresses this through the games by using affectionate terms to address him. The instruction booklet that came with ''Donkey Kong Country'', her first appearance, stated that she is presumed to marry Donkey Kong someday and that she is the "[[banana]] of Donkey Kong's eye", but she does not think he is ready to settle down yet. In ''Donkey Kong 64'', Candy has a big carpet with the form of a heart with Donkey Kong's face on it as well as a small picture of him, and in both ''Donkey Kong Country'' and ''Donkey Kong 64'', Donkey Kong has a picture of her with hearts in his house. She is also shown to be actively dating him in the cartoons, though her ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' trophy description implies that their relationship is a rumor, and Donkey Kong is only stated to have a crush on her in her ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'' trophy description. To explain Candy Kong's absence in later games, one official review of ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' states that she broke up with Donkey Kong,<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) #50. Page 52. "''You’d have thought that after retrieving his banana stash, Donkey Kong would be able to live out his days in peace and harmony with Candy Kong by his side. Unfortunately, she’s given him the push.

In the cartoons, her boss Bluster Kong also appears to be in love with Candy Kong, though she does not show any of that interest back to him, and is often quite angry towards her boss. Bluster Kong is also shown to be very strict on Candy and often complains about her being late for work and other small things. Funky Kong is also stated to have a crush on Candy in her ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'' trophy description; in the games, this is limited to hints such as him saying "Say hi to Candy for me!" at Funky's Flights in the first game. | In the cartoons, her boss Bluster Kong also appears to be in love with Candy Kong, though she does not show any of that interest back to him, and is often quite angry towards her boss.
