Cate Campbell Personal Life

Campbell spoke out about her body image issues in 2015. She admitted that the pressure from TV and magazine models made her want to be thin, but that it had gotten to the point where she was sick. The remark “thin swimmers aren’t terrific swimmers” stood out in her head after she read a chapter in Michael Phelps’ book Beneath the Surface. Her mother insisted on seeing a dietician, and she now believes that “the sum of your worth is so much more than what you look like.” She has previously stated that she is a Christian. She suffered from glandular fever in 2010 and 2011 and was unable to compete. She recognized she couldn’t build her identity on her swimming career because it was always full of flaws. Instead, she believed she needed to rely on God for her “strength and love,” who “allows me to see beyond the here and now and into the future that I shall share with Him (in paradise) someday.” She was attending a local Baptist church in Brisbane at the time. Campbell shared a home with her sister Bronte until December 2016. They are no longer housemates as of 2017. She went on to purchase a home in Morningside, Queensland. Hiking, listening to music, doing crossword puzzles in the newspaper, and brewing Kombucha are some of her favorite pastimes. She is also the proud owner of a kayak.
