If last year was about challenges for Jesinta Campbell, then 2016 already seems to be about kicking goals. The 24 year old has just been announced as the new David Jones ambassador, has a book on the way, and is looking forward to a happier year with fiance Buddy Franklin.
The couple made headlines last year when Franklin withdrew from the AFL season due to mental health issues, a period Campbell described as “tough and challenging”.
“It’s the last three years that have been really difficult – it’s only become public in the last few months. We struggled in isolation for so long, its kind of a relief it’s all out in the open now,” Campbell said in an interview with Cosmopolitan.
“At times we only really had each other to reply on, so we’re a pretty strong team. It brought us closer together.”
Campbell is no stranger to life in the public eye but admits that the constant presence of paparazzi during that period had a negative impact on her health.
“You have no privacy and you feel really vulnerable. To have photographers out the front of your house with cameras in your face really affects your wellbeing. There were weeks where I would hardly leave the house because there were so many of them outside,” she said. (Post continues after gallery.)
