Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes Reportedly ‘Aren’t Dating Again’ After ‘One-Off’ Coachella Kiss

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s surprise Coachella kiss on Friday isn’t their reconciliation announcement, a source tells Page Six. The source explained that, for now, both Mendes and Cabello are single and just friendly. The kiss was “a one-off.”

“Shawn and Camila remain friends with a lot of love and history between them, but they aren’t dating again,” the source said. “They’ve stayed in touch since their breakup and decided to meet up at Coachella since they were both going. One thing led to another as the night progressed,” the source added, calling the kiss a one-time byproduct of that.

Cabello and Mendes broke up after two years of dating in November 2021. A source told E! at the time that “the relationship was getting stale and complacent and they decided they are better off being friends.”

In March 2022, Cabello explained the split happened in part because they are both still discovering who they are individually. While in the relationship, “my focus was just, how can I live a happy life and be in a healthy, happy relationship? I was doing therapy a lot,” she said. “My focus really has shifted. And even now while I’m in promo mode, honestly, if I’m not having fun, what’s the f*cking point? I think as I get older, yeah, the priorities shift. And I feel like that was that way for both of us. Because we both started so young too, we’re really learning how to be healthy adults. And that sometimes means not having your number one focus be your career. And that’s okay.”
