Shawn Mendes hints at the timeline of Sabrina and Camila’s relationship

In a teaser for an upcoming interview with fellow musician John Mayer, the “Mercy” singer appears to be opening up about his romance with the “Espresso” star and how his love for his duet partner “Señorita” may have gotten in the way.

During the candid conversation, which aired in its entirety on December 12, Mendes details a recent romantic relationship that became distant after he shared his intentions to meet a former love.

“I’m with someone,” Mendes told Mayer on a recent SiriusXM show, “New Light.”

He continued, “Two days before spending time with my ex, I expressed that I would spend time with my ex because I have unresolved feelings.”

Mendez did not mention any names and! newsBut signs seem to point to Carpenter being the person he was dating at the time. The two were seen together on multiple occasions starting in February 2023.

About a month later, Mendes was photographed at Coachella in Palm Springs partying with Camila Cabello, his famous ex, while kissing more than once.

Mendes doesn’t seem to mention Cabello by name either, but he does acknowledge how scandalous his actions were.

“Maybe instead of two days, it could have been two weeks,” he asserts.

Carpenter, like Mendes, has never publicly shared details about her relationship with the Canadian heartthrob, but fans feel she has hinted at their romance in her music.

On “Taste,” the third single from her Grammy-nominated album “Short ‘n Sweet,” the blonde star sings about how she still lingers in the memory of her new partner’s former flame.

“You just gotta taste me when he kisses you,” she sings during the chorus.

Another track on the album, titled “Cincidence,” more explicitly refers to someone spending time in Palm Springs with “the girl they grew up with.”

Mendes has previously opened up about his on-and-off relationship with Cabello and still refers to her warmly as someone close to him.

As stated in ExplosionMendes was open and honest about his feelings for the “Havana” singer during another recent interview.

He explained: “We haven’t been close the last couple of years, but I think we really know each other. We really know each other’s hearts. So, even when all the sound and all the noise (from our past) is happening, we can see through each other quite easily.” “It’s nice to have that.”

Last October, Mendes took to Twitter to personally follow up on another appearance where he shared details of his relationship with Cabello.

When a fan responded that the two artists “didn’t play” with each other in mind, Mendes offered a short but very cute clip Response says.

“No, we don’t do that,” the singer said.

Cabello rarely shares her thoughts about her time with Mendes. The two debuted as a couple in October 2019 but were friends long before that.

However, when she talks about their relationship — as she did in a podcast appearance earlier in the year — Cabello seems to have no ill will toward their past relationship.

“I will always care for him and love him. He is a good person,” she said.

“I’m lucky because some people have terrible exes, and he’s not like that. He’s a really good, sweet person.”

Even their recent breakup didn’t seem to come from anything negative, with Cabello saying they were simply in different places in their lives.

“It wasn’t even a decision (for us),” she noted.

“(It was) just kind of like, ‘Oh yeah, this isn’t really relevant (anymore),’ and it took us less time to say, ‘We don’t really need to try that hard to make it work.’ It’s all good, let’s move on.”

Looking back on his experience with his former partners, Mendez was reflective in the knowledge that even though he meant no harm, his actions still caused pain to one — or both — of his former partners.

“The biggest lesson I learned is that no one leaves this life without getting hurt, and no one leaves this life without hurting anyone,” he said.
