Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello break up after 2 years

• Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello announced their breakup on Instagram.
• They said they will both "continue to be best friends."

The singers Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello announced that their relationship has ended after two years.

They posted the same statement to their Instagram stories on Wednesday, November 17.

"Hey guys, we've decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever," the statement said.

"We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends. We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward."

While it was suspected that Mendes and Cabello were more than friends as early as 2015, their romantic relationship started in July 2019. This followed a steamy video they made together in June for their song "Señorita." At the time, the "Havana" singer was coupled up with relationship coach Matthew Hussey but People reported that they broke up a few days after the video.

Mendes announced he was dating Cabello whilst performing at a concert in October that year. Since then, the pair have been open about their relationship with Mendes telling Access Hollywood in 2020 that he had been in love with Cabello for five years but feared he would be rejected by her.

"It takes a lot of courage to tell the woman that you love that you love her," Mendes said at the time.

The "Wonder" singer also told the "Man Enough" podcast back in June that he was "terrified of being evil" after he raised his voice during an argument with Cabello.

Outside of "Señorita," the pair have collaborated on two other songs, "I Know What You Did Last Summer" in 2015 and "The Christmas Song" in 2020.
