Shawn Mendes a exprimé son affection persistante pour son ex-petite amie Camila Cabello lors d’une récente interview, révélant qu’ils communiquent toujours sur la musique et des sujets personnels. Il a souligné qu’en dépit de leur rupture, il se sent un lien fort avec elle, notant qu’elle serait son premier appel en cas de crise. En réfléchissant à leur relation, Mendes a reconnu son rôle dans la compréhension de l’amour. Il a aussi parlé franchement des défis de la navigation dans le regard du public pendant leur rupture et de son exploration de sa sexualité.
Even though the romantic chapter of Shawmila has closed, Shawn Mendes has expressed his unwavering affection for his former partner, Camila Cabello.
In a recent interview released on Thursday, October 31, the 26-year-old artist shared his admiration for Cabello, 27, revealing that they continue to discuss music and other subjects.
“I get nervous just talking about it and thinking about what others might say. But honestly, if something were to happen in my family, she would likely be the first person I reach out to, even now,” Mendes shared, expressing frustration that some believe there is tension between them.
He further remarked, “Our past relationship has taught me a lot about what love truly means.”
The duo began their romance in 2019 coinciding with the release of their popular track “Señorita,” but they chose to separate a few years later.
In 2021, they addressed their breakup via social media, stating, “Hey everyone, we’ve decided to part ways romantically, but our bond as humans remains stronger than ever. We began as best friends and will continue to be. We genuinely appreciate your support throughout this journey. Camila and Shawn.”

They were later seen showing affection at Coachella in 2023, but they went their separate ways not long after.
Mendes opened up about handling the aftermath of his breakup, describing it as ‘Brutal.’ He noted, “Camila and I have done well to keep our personal lives private. We share a spark of love for each other, and despite being strong mentally, the opinions of millions can impact you. It’s a natural human experience.”
During an appearance on Jay Shetty’s podcast, he added, “I don’t let the public’s view of my love life or relationships affect me much anymore; it can be harmful to the relationship itself. This isn’t a movie but real life.”
Mendes emphasized, “This is genuine love, which can be confusing and challenging, filled with highs and lows. I truly empathize with anyone going through similar experiences. As a public figure, I strive to share my honest perspective on love and relationships.”
Recently, Mendes hinted at his uncertainty about his sexuality during a concert in Colorado.
“The truth about my life and sexuality is that I’m figuring it out just like everyone else. Sometimes I know, and sometimes I don’t,” Mendes expressed in a clip shared on X, formerly Twitter. “It’s a daunting process because society has a lot to say about such matters. I’m doing my best to be brave and allow myself to experience life openly.”
He further remarked, “It’s somewhat absurd because sexuality is a beautifully intricate aspect of human existence that cannot be easily categorized. It’s deeply personal and a journey I’m still exploring.”
