Just hours later, she and Shan took to their social media to post a joint statement about the end of their romantic relationship.
The statement posted on both Camila and Shawn’s social media about their split said: ‘Hey guys, we’ve decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever. We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends.

Cabello also shared the statement to her respective Instagram account.
They last shared snaps of one another to social media on October 31 and November 1, which were taken during their Day of the Dead celebrations.
Cabello and Mendes were last spotted publicly on November 3 while enjoying a beach day in Miami, Florida.

In photos obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, the pair looked very much in love as they shared a passionate kiss on the shore.
Shawn and Camila donned 70s inspired getups as they attended this year’s Met Gala on September 13 in New York City.
Two weeks prior, the Mercy crooner accompanied the former Fifth Harmony singer to the Miami premiere of Amazon’s Cinderella. Camila played the title character, while Shawn made a small cameo in the poorly-received film.
Before hitting the red carpet, Shawn congratulated ‘my love’ Camila on the movie and expressed how ‘proud’ he was of her for taking on the project.

‘I’ve never seen anybody work as hard as you did to show up everyday and be truly professional, kind and authentic,’ wrote the hitmaker on Instagram along with a photo of himself and Camila sharing a kiss.
‘I admire you so much. Such a beautiful movie with a beautiful message,’ concluded Shawn, who included the Spanish phrase ‘te amo mi vida’ which translates in English to ‘I love you, sweetheart/my life.’
After five years of friendship, the Senorita collaborators decided to take their relationship to a romantic level in July of 2019.

The hitmakers first met in 2014 while serving as supporting acts for Austin Mahone’s Live On Tour’ concerts.
Camila was at the time still a member of the X-Factor derived girl group Fifth Harmony.
Instantly connecting, the pair decided to collaborate on a song, titled I Know What You Did Last Summer, which was released in November 2015.
As their personal and working relationship blossomed, Camila and Shawn sparked dating rumors – something they actively combatted in the years leading up to their romance.

The rumors went into overdrive when the pair dropped the steamy music video for their second collaborative single Senorita in June of 2019.
The music video captured several ultra romantic moments between the supposed ‘friends,’ including one scene that saw Shawn rip off his shirt as he sang just inches away from Camila’s face.
Though the pair would officially confirm their romance in August, Camila and Shawn were photographed kissing on a number of occasions in the weeks leading up to the confirmation.

She told Elle of going public with their romance at the time: ‘People can say whatever they want to say. They can speculate, but at the same time, we are going to live our own lives, enjoy it, and fall for each other like nobody is watching.
‘That is how I want to live. I never want to open the door for people to feel like they are involved. Like I said, I want it to be mine and [his]. That’s why I’m so tight-lipped about it: because I want to protect it.’
Instead of satiating fans’ years-long desire for them to get together, Shawn and Camila were almost instantly met with skepticism over the authenticity of their budding romance.
Shawn attempted to quash the rumors by stressing to TMZ in September 2019 that his romance with Camila was ‘definitely not a PR stunt’ and very real.
Though the speculation never let up, Camila and Shawn seemingly made peace with the negativity by not letting it stop them from flaunting their love for one another on social media.
They shared some of their most intimate snapshots while hunkered down at their sprawling Miami, Florida home for the entirety of the COVID-19 lockdown.
Towards the latter end of 2020, Netflix released the documentary Shawn Mendes: In Wonder that chronicled his meteoric rise to superstardom.
In the documentary, the singer revealed that Camila was his musical muse and that ‘all’ the songs he’s ever written were about her.
Mendes added that he doesn’t think he’ll be able do their relationship ‘justice’ in a song.
He said: ‘I don’t think I’ll be able to write songs that really do it justice, that can really capture the things and the feelings with her.
‘I think it’s like when you see a moon or stars and you try to take a photo of it with your iPhone, and then you just can’t, it just doesn’t look good. And you’re like, ‘It’s not supposed to be captured.’ You know? It’s just supposed to be for us.’
Last October in an interview with The Sun, Cabello discussed why getting into a relationship with Mendes was risky due to their preexisting friendship.
She said: ‘It’s almost more scary because you have more to lose. When you first start dating a person and you know nothing about them, there’s less at risk there.
‘I think when you fall in love with somebody you’ve known for a long time, there’s more at stake.
‘But it also feels more special because it feels like the love story you see in the movies of people who have known each other for a long time but been too stupid to realize it or say it and then it happens—and that’s beautiful too.’
