The relationship between Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello was once one of the most beloved and closely followed love stories in the public eye. However, in a recent interview, Shawn Mendes surprised fans by admitting that his relationship with Camila is no longer the same as it once was.
A Complicated Relationship After the Breakup
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello officially broke up in 2021 after nearly two years of dating. Although they briefly tried to reconnect and maintain a friendship afterward, neither of them could return to the way things were. “I think we haven’t been as close in the past few years,” Shawn Mendes candidly shared in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 on November 14.
Fond Memories and Gratitude
Despite the changes in their relationship, Shawn Mendes has not forgotten the sweet memories he shared with Camila Cabello. He said, “She helped me ease my stress and enjoy life more. I’m really grateful to have had her by my side.”
The relationship between Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello began in 2015 when they collaborated on the song “I Know What You Did Last Summer”. The song quickly gained attention and became a defining moment in both of their careers. However, their romantic feelings didn’t truly blossom until the music video for “Señorita” was released in 2019. The steamy scenes in the video, along with their intimate gestures, led fans to suspect a romantic relationship between the two artists. The moment they held hands on the street and shared a passionate kiss underwater in Miami officially confirmed their romantic relationship.
Camila Cabello on the Darker Sides
After the breakup, Camila Cabello also opened up about the struggles in their previous relationship. She mentioned that some conversations between them had become tense and painful. Their differences gradually became obstacles that prevented their relationship from moving forward.
In 2021, after a long period of dating, both decided to part ways. Although they attempted to maintain a friendship afterward, the unresolved wounds and changes in their lives caused their relationship to fade. Therefore, Shawn Mendes’ admission that they “aren’t as close as before” is a clear indication that they couldn’t go back to what they once had.
The love story between Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello may have come to an end, but the beautiful memories and the music they created together will forever remain a special mark in the hearts of their fans.
