The stars split for a second time in June 2023 after briefly rekindling their relationship. The singers were together for the first time for two years, from July 2019 to November 2021.
The longtime friends collaborated on 2017’s “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and reunited on 2019’s “Senorita,” around which time they sparked dating rumors.
Cabello confirmed their relationship in an interview with Elle magazine published in October 2019. The “I Luv It” singer said she initially kept the relationship private to protect it.
“I don’t know; people can say whatever they want. They can speculate, but at the same time we’re going to live our own lives, enjoy it and fall for each other like no one is watching,” Cabello said. “That’s how I want to live. I never want to door so people feel like they’re involved. Like I said, I want it to be mine and [his]. That’s why I’m so silent about it.”
However, just two years later, the couple announced the end of their relationship in a joint statement shared via their Instagram Stories.
“Hey guys, we have decided to end our romantic relationship, but our love for each other as people is stronger than ever,” the couple wrote in November 2019. “We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends. We greatly appreciate your support from the beginning and in the future. Camila and Shawn.”
The couple briefly reunited last year but called it quits in June 2023, a source said We weekly at the time.
“Camila was the one who finally decided to end it,” a source said Us last June, noting that Mendes was “very upset” that things didn’t work out. “A lot of their old issues came back after spending so much time together.”
In March, Cabello spoke about the brief reunion in an interview with the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, admitting that it “didn’t feel right.”
“Luckily I was at a place in my life where it took me less time to realize that. It took less time for both of us to say, ‘This doesn’t feel right, and we really don’t have to try so hard to make it work,'” Cabello said. “‘It’s okay. This doesn’t feel right. Let’s be friends. I love you, it’s all okay, let’s move on, you go do your thing…become the person you become, and I’ll take care of you fingers crossed.'”
