Camila Cabello reveals why she broke up with Shawn Mendes
Since they announced their separation in November 2021, neither Shawn Mendes nor Camila Cabello have spoken publicly about the reasons for the end of the relationship. However, for the first time, the singer of Havana and Señorita has opened up in an interview and has told the details of the surprising breakup.
During an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1's New Music Daily program, Camila Cabello has spoken about the reasons that led to the relationship between her and singer Shawn Mendes ending, although she has avoided giving more details than necessary. The artist has spoken above all about how she has noticed an evolution as people over these years and that, at a given moment, that has made her change the way she sees her life.
In Cabello's words, her priorities have fluctuated and her focus on her life and what she expects of her has changed. According to her, the singer reveals that during the years that she dated Shawn Mendes, she did not worry about what she wanted to do in life and how she could become more and more complete as a person. However, the process of creating her new album has changed the way she understands her surroundings.
"This album has literally been a tool for me to become a more complete person and gain intimacy with my collaborators. That was my number one intention," the singer revealed. In fact, according to Camila Cabello, in the process of creating the new work, she did not have the objective of making the best album or the best music. She wanted to be a more complete person than she was.
Before, when she was together with Shawn Mendes, she has assured that she cared more about living a happy life and being in a healthy and happy relationship, but she neglected the part of growing as a person. In fact, the singer has confessed that she was in therapy because of her obsession with constantly wanting to be happy. Now, she has realized this and prefers to focus her life on growing as a person. "Even if I'm promoting and I'm not having fun, she asked me why, what do I have to change," the singer said.
The same thing happened with Shawn Mendes. The two artists started dating when they were very young and have learned to be adults over time. However, according to Cabello, there came a time when their priorities changed and these new goals in life were no longer compatible with staying together.
