Campbell and Lainchbury are childhood friends and started dating in 2016.

And he is credited with helping Campbell get back into the pool and push for a fourth Olympics and, as it turned out, a third gold medal.

Campbell had been struggling with several injuries (shoulder, neck, back and hip) after the Tokyo Games in 2021 and it seemed like her time in the pool was over.

But after an 18-month time-out, she returned … and the rest, as they say, is history (she was handed a gold medal for her part in the women’s 4x100m freestyle relay, although she did not swim in the final).

In her relationship update on Friday, Campbell also dropped a series of photos from the canals of the famous Italian city.

“What a week celebrating all that’s happened and all the exciting things to come,” she said.

“Love you Benfield. Easiest yes of my life.”

Fans, followers, and peers were naturally delighted.
