Campbell laid his legendary father to rest alongside his uncle Matthew in October.
The 25-year-old, now working as a solar panel installer, has maintained a low profile.
However, he has publicly embraced his relationship with Brooke Heaton, whose father Simon is a long-time friend of boxing legend Ricky.
The couple has shared photos online, including one where Brooke wished him a happy birthday in a post on Instagram.
Brooke, 22, wrote: “Happy birthday, Campbell. You are so special. Have the best day, I love you.”
The pair celebrated the New Year together, with Brooke spending time with members of Campbell’s family.
They also enjoyed each other's company during the Christmas season while watching a Manchester City match.
Brooke’s father Simon, a non-league football manager, appeared in the 2023 film “Hatton,” which chronicled Ricky’s life and career.
He joined four of Ricky’s close friends and referred to the boxer as his “best pal.”
Campbell, who has a seven-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, opened up about the heartbreaking loss of his father in a social media post before the New Year.
He wrote: “It's late, but I spent New Year in my dad’s favorite place. 2025 has been as tough as it can get for me and my family.
“I lost the people close to me as well as myself for most of it, but I have started to get things back together over the last few weeks.
“There’s still a long way to go, but here’s to a better 2026.”
Campbell has also returned to the boxing gym, training with his uncle Matthew, a former fighter turned coach.
