Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes, former music collaborators and exes, were spotted enjoying each other’s company while strolling hand in hand through the streets of New York City. Cabello, 26, donned a stylish black leather jacket, a white tank top, and classic jeans, while Mendes, 24, sported a dark gray muscle tee, light-wash jeans, and white sneakers. This sighting comes after the pair was seen walking hand in hand in Venice, California, late last month. Although they haven’t officially addressed the status of their relationship since their split in November 2021 after two years of dating, the duo made headlines when they shared a kiss at the 2023 Coachella Music Festival. Attendees captured the reunion on video, including a clip posted on 102.7 KIIS FM’s Twitter account, showing them engaged in conversation. Following the viral videos, a source informed PEOPLE that the musicians had been in touch for several months and had been “hanging out.”
Throughout their relationship, they have always had a special connection, the insider revealed.
Another source revealed that Mendes and Cabello have been spending quality time together, enjoying daytime strolls and casual dinners out.
Added the source, “The two seem thrilled to be reunited. They’ve been holding hands and laughing all the time.”
These videos marked the first public appearance of the pair since their joint Instagram statement announcing their breakup.
Prior to their split, Mendes spoke about their connection during the summer of 2020 and how the initial months of lockdown were idyllic for the couple. He shared in an interview with Audacy Check In how this special time inspired his single “Summer of Love.”
This was like writing about the first few months we were in lockdown. “It feels good. We were just so lucky because we were able to just be in a still moment, and for the first time in six years, we were able to just relax and not work,” Mendes explained. Miami was so beautiful as we biked around.”
Afterwards, Mendes said, “Just writing about that brought back a lot of nostalgia, and without that time we probably wouldn’t have been able to connect.
While the status of their relationship remains unofficial, fans are hopeful that Cabello and Mendes have found their way back to each other and are excited to see what the future holds for this beloved duo.
