Five years after they were rumored to have had a brief romance, brought to light by their flirty social media exchanges back in January 2019, Campbell commented with a series of respectful emojis on an Instagram post by their mutual friend, Nicole Scherzinger.

Campbell and Payne's relationship reportedly began with playful comments on their Instagram posts and included a sighting at a concert and private outings, but they were said to have ended their relationship in April 2019.
