Rumours have always circulated that Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello might be more than just friends. In fact, social media gossip on the subject has been intensifying over the last several weeks! Their recent steamy collab on the “Señorita” music video certainly helped to fuel the fire, and now their fans are shipping them hard.

However, now it seems as though there might finally be some evidence to back up the speculation. On the 4th of July this year, Shawn and Camila were reportedly spotted holding hands together while out in West Hollywood. As if that wasn't enough, now a certain Instagram story that's making the rounds on social media appears to show the couple getting very close indeed.

Check out the tell-tale story showing Shawn and Camilla chilling at the poolside below:

The short clip, which was later shared to the Twitter page: 'Shawn Mendes Argentina Offical' appears to show Mendes and Cabello chilling together by the poolside, and their proximity seems to imply a serious intimacy between the two. The clip is quite blurry, and so it's a little difficult to make out whether or not it conclusively is those two.

Predictably, when the footage hit social media, their fans were overjoyed and began feverishly tweeting their reactions to the news.

Check out some of the fan reactions to the sighting below:

So far, neither Shawn nor Camilla have confirmed or denied whether or not they're actually dating. I suppose we'll just have to wait to see if they ever become official. Until then, I guess we should really give them a bit more privacy, right?

Fans of Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello's iconic relationship were in for a treat as the exes were reportedly spotted smooching at Coachella this weekend.

The former 'it couple' - who had collaborated creatively on the song 'Señorita' - ended up dating for two years from the summer of 2019, before ultimately splitting in November 2021.

At the time, the couple released a joint statement on their respective Instagram stories announcing their split, saying (via Page Six): "Hey guys, we've decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for another as humans is stronger than ever."

The statement continued: "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. Camila and Shawn."

While Mendes, 24, and Cabello, 26, were notoriously private about their relationship, Cabello did get candid about how her priorities "shifted" and "fluctuated" during their relationship. "We both started so young, too," the former Fifth Harmony singer said during an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe in March 2022. "It's like we're really learning how to be healthy adults. My priorities have fluctuated, and my focus has changed throughout my life."

Now, fans are hoping for a Mendes-Cabello reunion, after the duo were spotted kissing at Coachella, PEOPLE reports.

Fans have been in meltdown after the video went viral on Twitter, with one person writing: "If it's meant to be it will be and honestly if they really are back together then good for them :)"

"That's what I need," another comment read.

Obviously, the initial news of their split back in 2021 surprised fans, especially as the pair had been spotted making out in Miami earlier that month.

During the pandemic, the pair quarantined together in Miami, with Mendes, 24, saying in August 2021 that this ended up bringing them closer. "Camila and I were so lucky because we were able to just kind of be in a still moment, and it was the first time in the past six years that we've been just able to relax and not work at all," he said, per People.

"We were going on bike rides around Miami, and it just felt really beautiful," he added.

A while after their breakup, Mendes was linked to several women - including his own chiropractor Dr. Jocelyne Miranda, 51. He was also rumored to have been dating actress Sabrina Carpenter, but he shut down rumors on the Dutch TV program RTL Boulevard, saying he was "not dating" Carpenter, per Page Six.

As for Cabello, she was in a relationship with Lox Club CEO Austin Kevitch, having been first papped together in June 2022. They ended up parting ways just eight months later.

But after what we appear to have seen at Coachella, I guess we'll just have to watch this space!

Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes have called it quits after over two years of dating.

The popstars shared a matching statement on their respective Instagram Stories yesterday announcing the news.

"Hey guys, we've decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever," they wrote.

"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."

The pair started dating in July 2019, but they first met in 2014 when Mendes and Cabello's then-group Fifth Harmony both opened for Austin Mahone.

The two hit it off and became close friends, releasing a song together, 'I Know What You Did Last Summer', in November 2015.

Their second duet, 'Señorita', came out in 2019 and went all the way to No.1 on the Hot 100. It also won them an American Music Award for collaboration of the year.

After being spotted holding hands in July 2019, Mendes and Cabello confirmed they were a couple in September of that year by sharing a video of them kissing on Instagram.

They went on to spend lockdown together last year and celebrated their two-year anniversary over the summer. Cabello, 24, posted a gallery of photos from their time together with the caption "happy anniversary Kuko, here’s to more joy, more friendship, and more love."

Mendes, 23, shared a photo of the two kissing on a Caribbean beach and wrote "happy 2 years my baby."

The couple last shared a picture together on October 31, when they posted snaps on Instagram dressed up for día de los muertos. The news of their split came as a shock to many fans, who took to social media to lament the end of the relationship.

"I'm just hearing that Shawn and Camilla broke up, please tell me it's a lie," Tweeted one fan.

"Shawn and Camilla's break up has made me unable to believe in love anymore," wrote another.

Cabello is currently finishing her third studio album, Familia, while Mendes is due to start his Wonder: The World Tour in March.

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello are one of the hottest, most successful and talented couples out there. However, that certainly doesn't mean they don't get their fair share of shade.

I mean, they're in the public eye - pretty much everything they do is scrutinised. Even something as seemingly private as the way they show intimacy and affection towards each other.

So, when their kissing technique was slated on Twitter recently, they decided to take to Instagram and respond to the critique - by sharing a video of 'how they really kiss'.

What happens next - the 'kiss' - is pretty much impossible to put into words. So, just take a look for yourselves:

Before the kissing action takes place, Shawn tells their fans: "So we saw on Twitter and stuff you guys saying stuff about the way we're kissing and how it looks weird, like we kiss like fish."

Camila then adds: "It really hurt our feelings."

And because it hurt their feelings so much, the famous couple decided to redeem themselves by treating their fans to a peek into a very intimate aspect of their relationship.

"We just want to show you how we really kiss," Shawn explains.

For anyone with a weak stomach, the comical clip basically just shows the pair demonstrating the 'way they kiss' in the most outrageous way imaginable.

Earlier this month, Cabello was asked about a headline which suggested that she and Shawk kissed like characters in a rom-com. "I think if you're smooching, you got to smooch like you're in a rom-com," she told the presenters SiriusXM radio's Hits 1. "What, do you want to smooch like you're in a boring drama? No!"

In any case, it does seem like Camila and Shawn are still very much in love.

"This past year and a half was the first time I really experienced falling in love with another person," Camila said a recent interview with Elle. I think there is so much more depth to love when you know you are in it with another person."

Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes have done it again. The loved-up couple performed Senorita for the second time, and drove viewers - including Taylor Swift - wild.

The pair made everyone think they were going to kiss on stage, and then they didn't. Luckily for us at home, though, the camera at the American Music Awards last night panned over to catch Taylor's expression during the performance, and she seemed so hyped for the kiss that it looked like it was actually about to happen. Alas, it was not meant to be, as Camila and Shawn pulled away at the last moment.

Watch the steamy moment, and Taylor's reaction, below:

Naturally, people found the Style singer's reaction absolutely hilarious.

"Taylor Swift was so ready for that Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello kiss to happen and then it just didn’t," wrote one Twitter user.

But this is not the first time that Camila and Shawn have pulled this move. They did the same thing at the MTV VMA's, and it drove fellow Hollywood power couple, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, crazy.

The erstwhile Jonas Brother even took to Instagram to recount the incident, writing "#VMAs are over, but we’re still waiting for that kiss tho ? @camila_cabello @shawnmendes."

Camila recently opened up to Elle magazine about how she and Shawn are navigating their relationship in the face of public scrutiny.

"People can say whatever they want to say," she said when asked whether their initial privacy regarding their romance led to increased speculation. "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 [Shawn's]. That’s why I’m so tight-lipped about it: because I want to protect it."
