Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s relationship has been going from strength to strength since they were spotted kissing and cuddling at Coachella in April.

While the Treat You Better hitmaker, 24, and Cinderella star, 26, were exploring the Big Apple together, they stopped to grab a coffee.
For their outing, the three-time Grammy nominee showed off his toned arms in a charcoal gray tank top, which he paired with a pair of light-wash baggy jeans.

Their latest comes weeks after an insider revealed to DailyMail.com that the duo have been secretly seeing each other for weeks — after ‘playing the field’ during their 18-month split, they realized just how ‘special’ their relationship really is .
“They’ve hung out with friends and alone several times over the past few weeks. They see where things are going,” she added.
The couple first sparked reconciliation rumors last month when they were caught on camera enjoying a very passionate kiss at Coachella, before being spotted holding hands in Venice, California.
Since their breakup in November 2021, they’ve both become romantically involved with other people — which, the insider says, made them realize just how “special” their romance had been with each other.
“After playing the field for two years, they both now know how special what they had,” the source continued.
Not to mention their sexual chemistry is off the hook. Camila turns Shawn on like no other woman. She always did.’
In April, the same day they were videotaped holding hands on their romantic walk, Camila released a teaser for her new single June Gloom — and it couldn’t be more obvious that it was written for Shawn and their Coachella rendezvous.
In the song, Camila sings: How come you’re so much better? Is this going to end? ever? I think I’m going to mess around to find out. Are you coming to Coachella? If you don’t, it’s whatever. When you do, honey, it’s all I think about.’

This isn’t the first time for the sexy singers, who met in 2014 when they collaborated on the song I Know What You Did Last Summer.
After years of speculation, they announced they were dating in the summer of 2019 – shortly after the release of their second chart-topper, Senorita.
They moved into a home in Los Angeles together at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic and got a dog, Tarzan.
‘So here’s the thing. They’ve never really stopped talking since their breakup,” the source told DailyMail.com.
“Since they share a dog that Camila takes care of, they’ve been in touch. Anyone who has been through a pet breakup understands this.”
They shocked their legion of die-hard fans when they announced their separation with a joint statement on their Instagram just before Christmas in 2022.
The statement read: “Hey guys, we’ve decided to end our romantic relationship, but our love for each other as human beings is stronger than ever. We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be.’
According to the source, “they broke up because they were going too hard and too fast.”

“They moved in together during the pandemic and were together 24/7 for a year. As the pandemic subsided and the threat lessened, they both had to explore.

“They focused exclusively on each other and not on their music, which is their first passion.”
Eight months after she and Shawn broke up, Camila started dating Lox Club dating app CEO, Austin Kevitch, 31.
The two kept their romance private compared to her very public relationship with Shawn.
Shawn, meanwhile, has been spotted on countless dates with different women.

In recent months he spent a lot of time with his old chiropractor, who is more than twice his age, Dr. Jocelyne Miranda, 51.
Shawn and Dr. Miranda have been seen together on many occasions, leading many to believe she was doing more than just aligning herself with him.
However, this was not true and they were confirmed to be just friends.
The source tells DailyMail.com that while Shawn and Camila were apart, they never stopped having feelings for each other.
“Camila started dating Austin and Shawn started dating again,” the source adds.
Camila and Austin announced their divorce just months ago.
“He kept turning every girl against Camila and she kept comparing her relationship with Shawn to Austin.”
This is one of the reasons she and Austin haven’t been able to work together. Camila has always loved Shawn and always felt like he was the one for her,” the insider tells DailyMail.com.
