Shawn Mendes showed off his seriously ripped physique during a shirtless walk in Los Angeles on Friday after publicly rekindling Camila Cabello at Coachella.
While working up a sweat on a hike through the Hollywood Hills, the 24-year-old singer showed off his muscular shoulders and sculpted torso on full display.
For his laid-back outing, the three-time Grammy nominee wore baggy charcoal gray shorts, hiking boots and white calf-length socks.
He appeared cheerful as he walked back to his car with a pair of white AirPods in his ears.
The large intricate butterfly on his tight left bicep and acoustic guitar, which form the Toronto skyline, were also visible to onlookers as he made the most of the April sun.
Heartthrob: Shawn Mendes showed off his badly ripped physique during a shirtless walk in Los Angeles on Friday after publicly relighting with Camila Cabello at Coachella
On Thursday, a source told DailyMail.com that the Canadian heartthrob and Worth It singer, 26, have been secretly seeing each other for weeks.
The pair first sparked reconciliation rumors last week when they were caught on camera enjoying a very passionate kiss at Coachella before they were spotted holding hands in Venice, California, on Wednesday.
But while the news of their romantic reunion has come as a surprise to their fans, sources close to the couple say it’s anything but shocking.
In fact, the duo have been quietly hooking up for weeks now, the insider revealed — after “playing the court” during their 18-month split made them realize 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 it’s going,” the source told DailyMail.com.
Since their breakup in November 2021, after two years of dating, 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.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Shawn and Camila for comment.
On Wednesday, 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.

The singers (pictured on a romantic getaway in 2020) dated for two years before splitting in November 2021 — but they’re now ‘seeing where it’s going’
They moved into a Los Angeles home together at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and got a dog, Tarzan. The couple called it quits in November 2021.
‘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.
On Friday, Shawn and Camila shocked a packed crowd at Coachella when they made out in the middle of the festival.
Neither of them seemed to care who was watching. They arrived with a group of friends and left with a group of friends.
As they left the venue, Camila played coy when paparazzi asked her if they were back together, before getting into a darkened SUV Shawn was in and driving off.
