AFL star Campbell Brown, 40, rumoured to be ‘dating TV presenter Grace Hayden’, 21, after shock split from his wife

AFL star Campbell Brown is rumored to be dating the daughter of a famous cricketer, weeks after splitting from wife Jessica Johnston.

The 40-year-old Hawthorn premiership star turned racing pundit is said to be in a romantic relationship with TV presenter Grace Hayden, 21.

Grace is the daughter of legendary Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden.

The pair are both racing ambassadors for the Ladbrokes Summer Racing Festival in Tasmania and were photographed dancing together at the festival launch in November, days after reports emerged that Brown's marriage had ended.

Brown and Hayden are both represented by TLA Worldwide, a leading talent and marketing agency that connects sports names with brands and fans.

The pair are said to have known each other for the past two years and both attended the Royal Ascot races in June.

Ny Breaking Australia has contacted both Brown and Hayden for comment.

The Herald Sun reported in November that Brown had reportedly told his wife he was “not in love with her anymore.”

The couple, who have three children together, had been together for nineteen years and married for ten years. His wife was reportedly 'devastated' and 'blinded' by the split.

“It's all so raw and came out of nowhere,” a source told the Herald Sun at the time.

The couple's eldest son, Boston, is six years old, and middle son Baker is two. Their youngest, Bailey, was born four months ago in August.

The family has lived outside Melbourne at Kangaroo Grounds, where they keep retired racehorses.

At just 21 years old, Grace has quickly made a name for herself in the television and fashion industries

Her breakout role as Channel 7's Oaks Day ambassador in 2022 thrust her into the spotlight.

Since then, she has been part of the 7 horse racing team, working as a fashion reporter covering the spring carnival races.

Brown went to Royal Ascot in June

Brown is a premiership player who played for Hawthorn from 2002 to 2010, ending his AFL career with the Gold Coast Suns in 2013.

He is the son of legendary Australian Rules player Mal Brown, 76.

In addition to his racing commitments, Brown works as a racing presenter on SEN radio and co-hosts The Browny Podcast alongside AFL legend and media personality Jonathan Brown and broadcaster Dean 'Deano' Thomas.

He is currently in Argentina after attempting to climb the treacherous Mount Aconcagua.

The former sportsman was forced to abandon his ambitious attempt to reach the summit when conditions around 6,000 meters became too tough.

“(With a) terrible weather window for later in the week, we had no choice but to decide to stay in camp and wait and hope and probably not go up there, or take a crack,” Brown said on Instagram.

'We were trying to do something that was probably physiologically incapable (of us) and that was from base camp at 4300 meters above sea level all the way to the summit, 6962 meters, in just over 48 hours and that comes with risks. '
