Shawn Mendes on Apple Music 1 Apple
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello might not be collectively as a pair anymore, however they’ll all the time be in one another’s lives.
In a brand new interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe printed Thursday (Nov. 14), the Canadian singer-songwriter opened up about his lifelong friendship with the “Havana” musician, whom he dated 2019 to 2021 earlier than they rekindled — and rapidly ended — their romance in 2023. “I just think that we really know each other,” he stated.
“I think we haven’t been the closest over the last couple of years, but I think we really know each other,” he continued. “We’ve spent a lot of time together. We really know each other’s hearts. 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.”
Both Mendes and Cabello have been more and more open about their former relationship this previous yr, with the latter confirming on Call Her Daddy in March that they’d briefly tried to reconnect romantically earlier than breaking apart a second time. “I will always care about him and love him. He’s such a good person,” she stated on the time. “I’m lucky ’cause some people have exes who are awful, and he is not. He’s a really kind, good person.”

In September, Mendes added to the dialog by saying on the Jay Shetty Podcast that he and Cabello have been “preserving [their] private little fire of love for each other.” When a fan tweeted after the episode, “they don’t play about each other” — in reference to the previous flames — the “Mercy” singer replied on X, “no we don’t.”
Then, when followers requested him to make clear what he imply, Mendes added, “i guess to be honest it came from a place of being a little annoyed with all the projection over the last few months about us. I’m usually pretty good at just watching all the “noise” go by however recently it’s been kinda bugging me 🤷🏻♂️ feeling human i suppose.”
Mendes’ interview with Lowe comes at some point forward of his fifth studio album, Shawn. The LP was initially imagined to arrive Oct. 18 however was pushed again to Nov. 15 9 days earlier than it was initially supposed to come back out. The venture will observe 2020’s Wonder, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
