We wouldn’t go so far as to say that love is dead, but if Shawn Mendes and Camilla Cabello can’t make it, what hope is there for the rest of us romantics? But on the bright side, they’re still besties.

The two shared the news of their break up after 2 years together in a joint statement on their respective Instagram stories on Wednesday, Nov 18^th.

“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. we so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward.”

Camilla and Shawn started dating in July 2019, and since then we’ve gotten a somewhat up-close and personal look into their relationship, never shying away from some PDA and domestic antics while in lockdown together.
