Young love! Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s longtime friendship appears to be transitioning into a steamy relationship, likely to the satisfaction of Shawnmila shippers.
Mendes, 20, and Cabello, 22, first met while opening up for Austin Mahone’s tour in 2014. At the time, Mendes was fresh off of his Vine success and Cabello was still a part of Fifth Harmony. Ever since then, the duo have maintained a close and supportive friendship.
The music stars have often teased their interest in each other over these past several years, with one of the earliest moments occurring in 2015. During an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Mendes admitted that he had tried to “make a move” on Cabello after the show’s host asked about the status of their relationship. The “Treat You Better” crooner claimed that his longtime pal “swerves” him every time.
James Corden then told the pair that he didn’t “believe” them and suggested that “there’s no way you haven’t made out.” Cabello responded: “He friend-zones me! He calls me ‘kid!’”
Mendes and Cabello would later team up for the single“I Know What You Did Last Summer” in 2017, but things didn’t appear to heat up between the two until they dropped the sultry single “SeñorÃta” in June. Cabello’s split with boyfriend of the Matthew Hussey followed the song’s release. Fans soon began to see the duo everywhere together.
Neither party has confirmed whether they are officially an item (and Mendes has even dodged comments from fans on the matter), but it would be hard to believe otherwise at this point as they have shown several public displays of affection for each other as the summer season heated up.
Scroll down below for a look back at the pair’s long history together!
Mendes and Cabello had their meet-cute while working together on Mahone’s 2014 tour. In their June 2019 V magazine interview, the “Havana” singer described her first impression of the “Stitches” artist of him “always on the tour bus, just learning guitar.”

When Mendes joined Capital FM, he was asked to play a game of “Lips, Wife or Leave It.” He was required to choose between Cabello, Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall and Chloë Grace Moretz. To no surprise at all, the Canadian star opted to wed his close pal, saying “She rocks.”

Months later, Cabello and Mendes teamed up to drop one of the catchiest songs to debut in modern music: “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” The track, which marked Cabello’s first solo attempt outside of Fifth Harmony, detailed a couple encountering a major roadblock in their relationship that’s caused them to drift apart.

The pair dropped their second single together, “SeñorÃta,” on June 21. The song’s music video proved to be very sultry and steamy — instantly sending Shawnmila devotees into a frenzy. The sultry track includes the lyric: “You say we're just friends / But friends don't know the way you taste / ‘Cause you know it's been a long time coming / Don’t you let me fall.”
Days after “SeñorÃta” debuted, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that Cabello split with now ex-boyfriend Matthew Hussey. The breakup, which was announced on June 26, came after the former pair were together for more than one year.

It began to appear like the duo were no longer friend-zoning each other, as they were first spotted holding hands in West Hollywood and partied together on the 4th of July one day later. This was followed by the pair traveling to San Francisco for two upcoming dates on Mendes’ tour. At the time, they were filmed locking lips in a Bay Area cafe. “They looked very into each other. Shawn and Camila were splitting pancakes,” an onlooker said to Us of their July 13 cafe sighting.

The “If I Can’t Have You” crooner opened up slightly about the relationship when pressed about it during a backstage Q&A in Connecticut. “Honestly, I wanna say I wanna talk to you guys about this stuff but it’s not just me in the relationship,” he told his fans. “There’s another person involved and I can’t say things that I feel. It’s not just me deciding, you know?”

Cabello revealed why she keeps the details of their romance top secret in her October 2019 cover story for Elle. “I don’t know; people can say whatever they want,” she explained. “They can speculate, but at the same time, we are going to live our own lives, enjoy it, and fall for each other like nobody is watching. That is how I want to live. I never want to open the door for people to feel like they are involved. Like I said, I want it to be mine and [his]. That’s why I’m so tight-lipped about it: because I want to protect it.”
