LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello recently ended their relationship once again, despite reuniting just six weeks ago. After being together for two and a half years, they initially broke up in November 2021. However, they were spotted together on multiple occasions in New York in the past few weeks, following a kiss they shared at Coachella in California in April.
"Shawn and Camila have a lot of history and they tested the waters again after coming back into each other’s lives," a source told The Sun of the pair, who were last seen together on May 26, getting cozy at a Taylor Swift concert. "But it was just a fling and they’ve put an end to it now," the insider added. "They realized it was probably a mistake to give things another shot. Things ended between them the first time for a reason, after all. In reality, both of them know they aren’t right for each other romantically and now they just want to move on."
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello initially broke up in 2021
In November 2021, Camila and Shawn released a joint statement on Instagram, announcing their mutual decision to end their relationship. Alongside this announcement, the celebrity couple expressed that they will continue to remain "best friends". The duo shared, "Hey guys, we've decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever. We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends. We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward. Camila and Shawn."
Why did Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello break up the first time?
According to an insider who spoke to E! News, it was claimed Shawn initiated the breakup, which initially left Camila feeling very upset. However, as the discussion progressed, she eventually came to an agreement that it was best for them to separate.
In an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, Camila revealed that she and Shawn mutually decided to end their relationship due to a significant shift in their priorities. She stated that both of them experienced this change simultaneously. However, they are currently focusing on personal growth and learning how to navigate adulthood in a healthy manner. She said, "As I get older, the priorities shift. And I feel like it was that way for both of us. We both started so young, too. It’s like we’re really learning how to be healthy adults."
'They enjoyed having a break'
Meanwhile, according to a source from People, their romance reportedly "fizzled" out after the COVID-19 lockdowns, as their busy work schedules resumed. "They had this intense relationship last year and spent months together during the lockdown in Miami. They both seemed very happy and looked like they enjoyed having a break from working," the insider alleged. However, the dynamic is said to have become "different" with the return of "normal life" according to the source who spoke to the magazine. "They have careers that are taking them in different directions. They went from spending every day together to now not really spending any time together."
