Why Did Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes Break Up?

Although the former flames, who began dating in July 2019, were one of young Hollywood’s cutest couples, their breakup had been “brewing” for nearly a year, a source previously revealed to Life & Style.

“Shawn and Camila were drifting apart. The lockdown actually helped them hang on much longer than they would have,” the insider added, referring to the quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“It wasn’t anything specific, like another person involved. They basically just grew apart in the romance department. It was a difficult decision to split, but it was necessary,” the source said. “In the end, they both wanted other experiences.”

What Have Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes Said About Their Split?

After calling it quits, Shawn admitted he wasn’t feeling his best.

“I’m having a little bit of a hard time with social media at the moment, just kind of my relationship with it, but I have lots of people sending me videos and telling me what’s going on,” the “Stitches” singer explained during a December 2021 Instagram video. 

Shawn went on to detail how his latest single, “It’ll Be Okay,” has helped him and his fans alike. “I think that when I make music the ultimate goal is to kind of be sitting there and have some sort of my own truth revealed to me and a lot of the times when I’m writing songs, I’m usually using music as a platform to be able to get to a place inside of myself that I wouldn’t be able to get to by just kind of talking to people or thinking about it,” he said. 

“I see a lot of TikToks of people crying and getting emotional and stuff, and I hope that’s because there’s some truth in the song, and there lies honestly in it,” Shawn continued. “I just feel so proud of that song and I’m so grateful you guys are connecting with it, and I feel so grateful that people are being vulnerable with it and people are just having fun with it.”

For Camila’s part, she mostly spent time with family and friends, and eventually released her hit single “Bam Bam” in early 2022, which details the aftermath of a breakup. Additionally, she had nothing but positive comments about Shawn, even when she explained the reason behind their split. 

“As I get older, the priorities shift,” the “Crying in the Club” artist told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in March 2022. “And I feel that way for both of us. Because we both started so young too, it’s like we’re really learning how to be healthy adults. And that sometimes means not having your number one focus be your career and that’s OK.” 

Shawn went on to detail how his latest single, “It’ll Be Okay,” has helped him and his fans alike. “I think that when I make music the ultimate goal is to kind of be sitting there and have some sort of my own truth revealed to me and a lot of the times when I’m writing songs, I’m usually using music as a platform to be able to get to a place inside of myself that I wouldn’t be able to get to by just kind of talking to people or thinking about it,” he said. 

“I see a lot of TikToks of people crying and getting emotional and stuff, and I hope that’s because there’s some truth in the song, and there lies honestly in it,” Shawn continued. “I just feel so proud of that song and I’m so grateful you guys are connecting with it, and I feel so grateful that people are being vulnerable with it and people are just having fun with it.”

For Camila’s part, she’s been active on social media sharing relaxed selfies from the beach and spending time with her family.

Are Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes Back Together? 

The exes have sparked reconciliation rumors more than once following their split. 

In January 2022, the Cinderella actress and the “Summer of Love” artist were seen strolling side by side while walking their Golden Retriever, Tarzan, in a photo obtained by Daily Mail.

More than one year later, the “Señorita” duet singers sent “Shawmila” fans into a serious tizzy when they were seen kissing and getting cozy at the April 2023 Coachella Valley Music Festival. The two even walked closely together with a group of friends. 

Shortly afterward, an eyewitness source told Us Weekly that Shawn “had his arm around her waist as they walked to the stage,” adding that he and Camila “looked like a couple” after they kissed. However, neither Camila nor Shawn have publicly confirmed whether they’re back together. 

Days later, Camila shared a song titled “June Gloom” on Instagram, which featured a line of lyrics that read, “Are you coming to Coachella? / If you don’t it’s whatever / If you do honey, It’ll be all I think about.” Fans are convinced she’s referencing Shawn in the song. A social media video making its rounds online also showed the duo holding hands while out and about in L.A. on April 19.

The Swifties attended a New Jersey Taylor Swift concert on May 26 and sat together while enjoying the euphoric performance, as seen in photos obtained by Life & Style.

However, five days later eagle-eyed fans questioned the seriousness of their reunion after she was walking close to a male in New York, with some social media spies wondering if the two were holding hands.

However, a source exclusively told Life & Style that the man she was with — Jasper Harris — is Camila’s coproducer and friend, adding that they are not dating.
