She may be engaged to one of the highest profile AFL players in Australia, but that doesn’t mean the former Miss Universe Australia relies on him for everything.
In fact, the 24-year-old says she is determined to always put her independence first.
Speaking to The Herald Sun, the model says she doesn’t rely on anyone else to support her.
“That’s how I’ve always been since I left high school. Yes, I have a fiance, and all of that, but, to this day, I support myself independently, and financially,” she said.
Campbell has been engaged to Sydney Swans player Franklin since December 2014, but insists decisions about her work, business and finances are all up to her.
“I make the big decisions. It always comes down to me and gut feeling. It’s empowering, as a woman, knowing your worth, and knowing what you do, and don’t, want to do.”
We think we just found ourselves a new relationship advice guru.
The David Jones ambassador has previously opened up about the hard work she has put in to ensure she is taken seriously in the Australian media landscape, and insists it’s possible to be sexy and smart.
“Why can’t I post a selfie AND talk about [racism and mental] too? People don’t get it,” she said.

Good for her! The reality is far too many women are solely reliant on their partner/husband's income. It leaves them in a completely vulnerable position should anything happen to their spouse or their relationship.
True. However, sometimes the relationship calls for it, particularly in the case of expatriates. My husband is one and I cannot work in paid employment in the country he is based in. I did some volunteer work in my field, and also pursued further study by correspondence while there. Currently I'm in Australia to accumulate hours to maintain registration with my professional body and also caring for my daughter, however once accumulated I'll have to head back. When your husband earns in one month what you earn in a year, it makes no sense to stay apart indefinitely as my "back up". However, I always plan to continue studying, volunteering and maintaining my registration.
Where is that beach?!! I wanna go there :)
