Shawn Mendes Clarifies How He Feels About Ex Camila Cabello

As a seasoned observer of celebrity relationships, I must say that the on-again, off-again romance between Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello is a rollercoaster ride that reminds me of my own turbulent teenage years. The ups and downs, the fights, the reconciliations – it’s all too familiar.

Camila Cabello will always be a special señorita to Shawn Mendes.

Regardless of formally ending their relationship twice, first in 2021 and then again in 2023 following a short-lived reunion, the former member of Fifth Harmony and the artist behind “Treat You Better” have managed to keep a positive connection between them.

Undeniably, Shawn’s latest chat on the Jay Shetty Podcast served as a heartfelt reminder of the smoldering embers of affection we’ve held onto. He spoke candidly about their split, revealing that there remains a secret flame between us, kindling my ardor even more!

On X (formerly known as Twitter), a user expressed their opinions about the interview, mentioning on October 1st that “They seem to genuinely care for each other”. In response, Shawn posted the next day saying, “That’s correct”.

Nevertheless, the remark seemed perplexing to some fans, prompting one to say, “It seems like you should clarify your last tweet a bit more so that the wider audience and Camila’s fanbase don’t misunderstand what you meant, is that clear?

Shawn gladly agreed, mentioning that he wanted to make clear his present standing with Camila prior to offering his remark, which stemmed from some irritation over the recent speculations linking them during the past few months.

He added, “Typically, I can easily let things pass, but recently, it seems to be bothering me more. Maybe because I’m starting to feel more like a human.

In his subsequent post, Shawn mentioned, “Deep down, I understand that referencing a tweet could potentially stir some controversy. To put it frankly, another part of me felt compelled to discuss the issue openly and foster an authentic, honest connection with you all, by sharing my perspective on it.

Just like the artist behind the “Why Why Why” song expressed, he aimed to build genuine connections with his audience by being open and transparent through his interactions. It’s not easy to share personal thoughts online given how swiftly opinions can be misconstrued or manipulated against us.

For Shawn, it’s crucial that his fans understand that their support isn’t one-sided; he views it as mutual, expressing it as, “everything else is merely background noise.

Regarding his relationship with Camila, he opened up more during an interview with Jay, stating that their tumultuous romance was incredibly challenging. Eventually, they both realized that they might not be suited for a long-term relationship.

He explained during the September 30th podcast episode that love is significant, but partnership transcends love. In his opinion, a strong partnership involves mutual support in everyday life and honesty about one’s true self. It’s crucial that the person you are with supports your identity without having to completely change themselves, and this sentiment is reciprocal as well.

Even though Camila is no longer his girlfriend, Shawn admitted they occasionally exchange messages with each other.

He stated, “So far as we act honorably, any commotion or controversy is merely background noise.” Furthermore, he emphasized that they always exercise caution when discussing one another publicly. “Neither of us would dare to overstep boundaries,” he assured, expressing their mutual esteem and respect for each other.

I find myself fortunate indeed, for she is not only an exceptional individual but also remarkably understanding, considerate, and compassionate.

And Camila previously echoed his statement, stating that their relationship was “not a fit.”

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that statement as follows: “On the Call Her Daddy podcast in March, I shared my personal experience. At 27, I couldn’t ignore the discomfort I felt. Fortunately, I was at a point in my life where it didn’t take long for me to recognize this unease, and thankfully, my partner felt the same way. We both understood that our relationship wasn’t working and there was no need to force it. It’s all right, we acknowledged. This isn’t feeling right, so let’s be friends, cherish our past, and move forward with grace.

For a look back at Shawn and Camila’s time together, keep reading.

2015 saw Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello grabbing attention not just as a romantic pair, but as a harmonious duo when they released their collaborative hit track, “I Know What You Did Last Summer”.

4 years after the initial release, speculation about a possible off-screen romance arose when the artists unveiled their sensual “Señorita” music video as a duet in June.

Next month onwards, my companion and I were observed strolling hand-in-hand in West Hollywood, as reported by an eyewitness. At that moment, it was shared with TopMob News that we were openly presenting ourselves as a couple. Not long after, our closeness became evident again in San Francisco.

Although they hadn’t openly announced their relationship, their passionate kiss in the Miami waters spoke volumes about it.

In August 2019, it was reported that the couple celebrated Mendes’ 21st birthday together, complete with a heartfelt kiss for the birthday celebrant. Additionally, Cabello expressed her affection for her music partner on Instagram.

At the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards, Camila and Shawn captivated the audience with a steamy rendition of their hit song “Señorita,” leaving everyone on edge as they hinted at a possible kiss.

Back in October 2019, I dismissed speculations about a potential split between us. Yet, our affection for each other became evident to all when we passionately shared moments during a basketball game, right there in the stands.

During the pandemic, Shawn moved to Miami and lived there with Camila Cabello. An unexpected yet wonderful outcome was that he couldn’t leave, as he shared during his 2020 interview with Zane Lowe. This meant that he resided with Camila, her parents, and her sister in Miami.

Notification about a significant step in their relationship: In November 2020, they expanded their family by adopting a lovely puppy named Tarzan.

Shawn openly admitted that he and Camila sometimes have small but intense disagreements. “We certainly argue,” he shared on SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up in August. “However, I think we’re pretty good at recognizing when it’s just a matter of ego. We usually call each other out. Our relationship is characterized by honesty and openness—and yes, we do argue.

At the September premiere of Cinderella, Shawn accompanied Camila as they strolled down the red carpet together.

Shawnmila attended their first Met Gala together in 2021, wearing Michael Kors Collection looks.

Last year, on All Hallow’s Eve, I joyously shared the spooky spirit with my beloved companion, penning on our digital altar, “Happy Day of the Dead!

On November 17, 2021, the couple declared that they were separating romantically. They stated, “We’ve chosen to part ways in our romantic connection, but our affection for each other as fellow human beings remains unwavering.” They further noted, “Our relationship began as a friendship and will continue to be a friendship.

The pair reunited at Coachella in April 2023 and were seen kissing during the festival.

Following their shared experience at Coachella, Shawn and Camila were seen spending time together on several occasions during the early summer of 2023 – even attending a Taylor Swift performance among other outings. However, they decided to part ways again in June.
