Popular singer and songwriter Shawn Mendes has opened up about his relationship with Camila Cabello. “We haven’t been the closest over the past couple of years,” he disclosed in a recent interview. But what exactly is going on between Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello—two entertainers who used to be madly in love?
During an interview in mid-November, Mendes answered a number of the frequently asked questions concerning his friendship with the multiple-award-winning singer, Cabello. Things have been pretty sketchy between the two of them after they dated and broke up for the second time in 2023.
But Mendes has assured fans that even though they haven’t been as close as they once were, the flames of friendship haven’t gone off completely. “I think we really know each other. We’ve spent a lot of time together. We really know each other’s hearts,” he said while speaking on Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe Show.
Mendes reinforced a popular notion that true love, once sparked, doesn’t completely die off. For him and Cabello, the sparks are very much alive. “So even when all of the sound and all the noise is happening, we can see through each other pretty easily, and it’s just nice to have that,” he continued.
In retrospect, Mendes remains grateful to have shared love with Cabello. He revealed how she brought a lot of stability to his life when he needed it the most. Cabello helped him learn discipline because “That’s where I’m out of balance,” he said in the interview, which was published on Thursday, November 14, 2024.
“She would get very angry with me for not having a cheeseburger,” he lightheartedly recalled. “And it was great. It was huge. I needed that at the time in my life,” he said.
