After denying it, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello are now confirming it.
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello were once Hollywood’s It couple, but their romance and musical collaboration came crashing down in 2021. Reports at the time claimed their grueling schedules played a part in their split.
Rumors claimed that the artists briefly dated other people while separated. However, their love for music brought them back to each other’s arms.
The power couple reunited at the 2023 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, where they were seen holding hands and sharing a passionate kiss.
A source told Page Six then that Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello are “not back together” despite the passionate smooch. The insider said that they are single, friendly with each other, and the kiss was “a one-off.”
The source told the New York-based media outlet: “Shawn and Camila remain friends with a lot of love and history between them, but they aren’t dating again. They’ve stayed in touch since their breakup and decided to meet up at Coachella since they were both going.”
However, the friendship narrative has changed. This week, the singers were seen enjoying a romantic stroll in the streets of Venice, California.
Australian journalist Jessica Rendall posted a video of the pair sharing a passionate moment. She later spoke to Harper’s Bazaar Australia to say that it was a wonderful surprise to spot the duo.
Rendall revealed to the publication: “My jaw instantly dropped, and he laughed and nodded at my reaction to seeing them together. They were holding hands pretty tightly and seemed very snug and in love. They were deep in conversation about something, so I didn’t want to stop them and ask for a photo.”
The reporter also revealed that she did not want to bother Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello and ask for a selfie because she understood they were having a private moment.
Rendall talked to PEOPLE to share more details about the precious moment: “It was so wild. I was on my phone, and when I looked up, they were walking toward me, hand in hand. I must’ve had a very shocked look on my face because Shawn gave me a knowing smirk as they walked past. They were very deep in conversation but seemed super comfortable and happy together.”
A source explained to Page Six that there has been an update on Mendes and Cabello — the lovebirds are now “indeed exploring their relationship right now and whether they should reconcile.”
The family friend stated: “[They are] hanging out again. They’re enjoying getting reacquainted and seeing where it goes. [They] care about each other a lot.”
Fans would welcome a reunion.
