Campbell has said to have been involved with some of the richest men in the world including, Italian businessman Flavio Briatore, oil magnate Badr Jafar, Brazilian real estate tycoon Marcus Elias, and Egyptian tobacco businessman Louis Camilleri. She has also been linked to Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel, who dated musical icon and businesswoman Rihanna after his time with Campbell.
The supermodel has also reportedly dated a veritable who’s who of Hollywood and worldwide celebrities, including U2’s Adam Clayton, hip-hop mogul Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs, former One Direction heartthrob Liam Payne, the legendary Robert De Niro, and the famously flirtatious Leonardo DiCaprio.

In an interview with The Guardian, Campbell said that there was only one former partner that she is not on the best terms with. Campbell refused to name which one of her exes she is referring to, but it is very possible that the supermodel is referring to her most recent relationship with Payne. The former member of One Direction has refused to acknowledge his relationship with Campbell, and Campbell told Payne during their relationship that he should not get too attached to being with the supermodel. Whether Campbell is on good terms with her exes or not, she is in a good place with herself. In her Guardian interview, Campbell said this about love and romance, and the importance of self-love, “I love a lot of people for different reasons. And the other thing that’s taken me a while to understand in my growing up is that you have to accept and love yourself first, and not be validated by someone else.” Campbell is clearly an accomplished woman with the confidence to be true to herself, and a person that understands how important self-love is.
