Is Camila Cabello Back with Shawn Mendes? Inside the Singer's Real-Life Romances
We all saw that Coachella video.
Camila Cabello first rose to fame on X Factor USA with Fifth Harmony, then went on to solo stardom with the smash "Havana." Since then, she's become a movie star with Cinderella, a judge on another singing competition show (hello, The Voice!)—and a tabloid fixture thanks to her love life, particularly her relationship with Shawn Mendes. Who is Camila Cabello dating right now and what relationships has she had in the past?
Are Camila and Shawn still together?
It's a bit unclear at the moment. While the couple hasn't been together for over a year, they were recently spotted kissing at the Coachella Music Festival. While a source told Page Six they are "not back together" and it was a "one off" at the festival, there is still plenty of speculation going on.
Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes were friends for a few years and collaborated on two songs, "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Se?orita" before they began publicly dating in 2019. The pair spent much of the pandemic lockdowns together (even adopting a dog!), and in Mendes' Netflix documentary, he revealed he'd been smitten with Cabello for years.
"My song comes on the radio or something and I'm like, 'Everything's about you. They're all ... They have always been about you,' " he recalled telling the "Don't Go Yet" singer in Shawn Mendes: In Wonder. "She goes, 'What do you mean?' They're all about you. Like every song I've ever wrote."

Cabello credited Mendes with helping ease her anxiety, while Mendes said Cabello's family-oriented nature inspired him to reconnect with his own family and friends.
The pair split in November 2021 after more than two years together, saying in a joint statement (via PEOPLE), "Hey guys, we've decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever ??. We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends."
But after the Coachella make out, who knows what the future holds?
Is Camila Cabello in a relationship?
At the moment, Cabello appears to be single, unless she's back together with Shawn Mendes.
Cabello was previously dating Austin Kevitch, the founder of the apps Brighten and Lox Club. Brighten allows users to compliment one another anonymously, while Lox Club is a dating app aimed at (though not exclusively for) Jewish users. The pair, however, broke up in early 2023.
It's not entirely clear when the pair began dating or when they first met, but they were first spotted holding hands in early August 2022. Entertainment Tonight reports that they met through mutual pals (including Cabello's Cinderella co-star Nicholas Galitizine) and that Kevitch was at Cabello's birthday party in March 2022, so they may have been an item for longer than many realized!
Did Camila Cabello and Austin Mahone date?
Cabello dated Austin Mahone in late 2013 and early 2014 when Fifth Harmony went on tour with him. The heartthrob and Cabello's romance didn't last long, but they remained friends. He told Seventeen in 2017, “She’s really doing her thing right now and I’m very, very proud of her.”

How long were Matthew Hussey and Camila Cabello together?
Cabello and British relationship coach Matthew Hussey began dating in 2018. Though Hussey is 10 years older than Cabello, she said they had a lot in common. "He's so similar to me … In person, we're just weird and silly and stupid together," she told Marie Claire in their December 2018 issue. "He makes me the happiest I've ever been in my life."
She and Hussey split in summer 2019 just as she and Mendes released their "Se?orita" music video.
