Something that we have all experienced many times is that music can represent for us that unconditional friend that accompanies us in the moments when we need it most and that even brings a smile to our faces when it seems that no one else can do it. This is why professionals dedicated to it can reach high levels of popularity. One of the most recognized voices in this regard is Shawn Mendes. Born in Peckering on August 8, 1998, he is a Canadian singer, songwriter and model who owes much of his popularity to having shared his own songs on the Vine video platform.
It is precisely because of the relevance of his musical career that, over the years, we have been able to receive a lot of information about his professional life. Despite this, it is not so much what we know about more personal aspects of his intimate life. For this reason, from Look At The Square we have prepared this article, which will be of great help to you to know the reason why he and Camila Cabello decided to separate.

This is Shawn Mendes
In order to get into more intimate aspects of his life and talk about them, first it is important to review his early years. He is the son of Manuel Mendes, a businessman dedicated to the sale of supplies for bars and restaurants in Toronto, and Karen, a real estate agent. Thus, his parents’ marriage gave him his only sister, Aaliyah.

He spent the beginning of his life together with all of them in Pickering, a suburb of Toronto. As far as his academic background is concerned, Shawn attended Pine Ridge Secondary School, where he graduated in the month of June 2016. He already started showing his great interest and talent for music since he was very young.

Therefore, he decided to start uploading videos of himself with versions of other songs on the platform Vine and it was what made him, from the year 2013, began to be known and, therefore, had the opportunity to go making his own name in that world and taking off his career as a singer.
The relationship between Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello
Camila Cabello was born on March 3, 1997 in Cojímar, Cuba. She is a Cuban-Mexican singer-songwriter and actress who became a naturalized American citizen. The great international fame she has today is largely due to having been part of the female group Fifth Harmony, from which she separated on December 18, 2016.

Speaking of more intimate aspects of the personal life of both, specifically related to love, Shawn and Camila began a romantic relationship in 2019. After two years of many public appearances together and showing themselves as an idyllic couple, they finally decided to end it in November 2021.
Why did Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello decide to split?
The singers made their separation official by publishing it on their social networks and sharing it with all their followers. However, they did not go into much detail nor did they bother to explain the reasons that had led them to make that decision. Eventually, some media began to leak that it was Shawn himself who wanted to break the relationship.

The reason that made him decide to do so was, simply, that love was over between them. Despite agreeing with it, the truth is that Camila was very upset for a while, or at least that’s what sources close to them said. Today, and after a year and a half since this happened, it seems that the two have already overcome that story and have begun to rebuild their lives to find love again.
