Campbell has been married twice. She first married Canadian actor Jeff Colt in April 1995. Colt catapulted to fame for his roles in the films "Mulligan Men," "Addiction in Red and Black," and the TV series "Once a Thief."
Unfortunately, she and Colt divorced in May 2011 after three years of marriage. There were reports that the former teen actress was romantically linked to "Serendipity" actor John Cusack shortly after splitting up with her first husband.
The actress's second marriage was to English actor John Light, who she met on the set of the 2001 film "Investigating Sex." Light gained prominence for his roles in the TV series "Around the World in 80 Days," "Mars," "North & South," and "Band of Brothers."

Campbell and Light were engaged in 2006 and tied the knot in 2007 in Malibu, California. They lived together in Islington, North London, for five years. However, their marriage fell apart.
In 2010, Campbell secretly divorced Light, citing irreconcilable differences. TMZ reported that the actress, at the time, specified that she wanted to block the court from granting him any spousal support.
Although Light and Campbell never revealed further details about their split, a source reportedly stated that the split was amicable and they remained close friends.
