Camila Cabello Reveals Why She Won’t Be Getting Back Together with Ex Shawn Mendes
Shawn Mendes isn’t wondering why, why, why his romance with Camila Cabello ultimately fizzled out.
The former couple rekindled their relationship in 2023, two years after their initial split, only to call it quits a second time a few months later. And while the exes have love for one another, they aren’t necessarily cut out to be a couple.
“Love is a lot, but partnership is more than love and I think it has a lot to do with how you support each other in your day-to-day life and really being honest about who you are,” Mendes explained on the Jay Shetty Podcast on Sept. 30. “And making sure that someone that you’re with is in support of that and doesn’t have to bend themselves entirely to be in support of that and vice versa.”
And while the outside noise about their on-off romance was “brutal,” the 26-year-old is grateful it didn’t sour the friendship he and Cabello developed.
“Honestly, I think Camila and I have just done the best job at preserving our private little fire of love for each other,” he explained, “because no matter how strong mentally you are when there are millions of people commenting on it, it’s so hard not to be affected by it and to be swayed by it and to be inspired by it.”
