1. Shawn Mendes reflects on his equation with Camila Cabello after his split
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello have had a tumultuous relationship, marked by breakups and reconciliations. While they are currently separated, they maintain a strong sense of mutual respect.
During an appearance on the *On Purpose* podcast with Jay Shetty, Shawn reflected on their relationship, saying, "We’ve been in the public eye since we were very young, so at this point, we hopefully just have a deep, great respect for each other."
The 26-year-old singer emphasized, "I don’t think either of us would ever cross a line. We deeply respect each other."
He continued, praising Camila: "I’m just lucky she’s an amazing human being—she’s incredibly understanding, thoughtful, and caring. So communicating with her is not difficult, and I think that’s a huge part of it."
Shawn and Camila's friendship blossomed into a passionate romance in 2019, but they ended things two years later. In 2023, they briefly reignited speculation about their relationship after being spotted kissing at Coachella.
At the time, a source told *Us Weekly*, “It felt really nostalgic, and all those initial feelings they had when they first started dating came rushing back. But after a few months, they were reminded of why they broke up in the first place."
