Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes seem to be better off as friends. The fan-favorite celebrity couple recently made headlines after rekindling their romance, following their breakup in November 2021. The pair reunited during the first weekend of Coachella and were spotted holding hands and sharing some sweet moments in the following weeks. And while many thought they would get back together, the two singers did not make it work this time around.
A close source to the former couple revealed to Us Weekly that it was Camila “who ultimately decided to end things,” and explained that Shawn “is very upset” that the relationship didn’t work between them. “A lot of their old problems started coming back after spending so much time together,” the insider said to the publication.
It had been previously reported that the couple were almost living together, after being spotted in New York City and Los Angeles, going on romantic dates, wearing matching outfits, and even working out together. The source went on to say that they were first “excited at the possibility” of rekindling their romance.
“It felt really nostalgic and all those initial feelings they had for each other when they first started dating came flooding back ... but after a few months, they remembered why they split in the first place,” the insider added, explaining that they “realized they’re better friends than romantic partners. There’s no bad blood between them, but their relationship has just run its course.”
"Hey guys, we've decide to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as human is stronger than ever ❤️" the statement read. "We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends."
He's a really kind, good person.” When asked how she and Mendes decided to call off their relationship for good the second time, Cabello said it was less of a “decision” and more of a realization. “You're just kind of like, it's not a fit, it doesn't feel right.
She noted that she started “distancing” herself from “the group vision.” “And it felt like they were still really passionate and into that and so, I was just like, 'I'm not happy here anymore. It doesn't feel aligned,'” said Cabello, who remarked that she grew “a lot” in the group.
Fifth Harmony survived for more than a year with just four members after Cabello left the group, before the remainder of the band announced they were taking a hiatus to pursue solo careers of their own.
At the age of 15, she auditioned for The X Factor in Greensboro, North Carolina. Even though she was eliminated (along with her four future groupmates), the judges brought her back. Simon Cowell combined the girls into a quintet and formed Fifth Harmony.
The remaining four members claimed that they were blindsided by her decision, later confirming in March 2018 that Fifth Harmony would go on an indefinite hiatus while they pursued solo projects. While fans were devastated, the women delivered on their promise, and all four of them have since released their own singles.
Then she discovered The X Factor success story One Direction and thought, “I could do that.” So she did: In 2012, Cabello competed on the show, where she and four other girls were placed in the group that would become Fifth Harmony.
