Shawn Mendes spotted holding hands with Camila Cabello following Coachella kiss
The musicians who split up in November 2021, sparked romance rumors yet again after reuniting at Coachella music festival last weekend.
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello are sparking relationship rumors once again. The two were spotted holding hands walking down a street in Santa Monica, California just a week after a major display of PDA the previous weekend.
The couple first started dating in the summer of 2019 until splitting in November 2021. At the time the two parties explained how they would remain friends, however, the two were not spotted together again until recently.
On Wednesday night, Australian journalist Jessica Rendall spotted the two holding hands walking down the street. Both parties kept it casual with Mendes in a matching taupe ensemble, while Cabello wore a baggy white top and blue jeans.
“I must’ve had a very shocked look on my face because Shawn gave me a knowing smirk as they walked past,” Rendall told PEOPLE about her sighting.
“They were very deep in conversation but seemed super comfortable and happy together,” she added.
Is the couple back together?
Although it seems like the former couple is back together, a source for Page Six claims otherwise. Earlier in the week the anonymous insider told the outlet that the couple is “not back together.”
“Shawn and Camila remain friends with a lot of love and history between them, but they aren’t dating again,” the source explained.
They continued, “They’ve stayed in touch since their breakup and decided to meet up at Coachella since they were both going.”
The source also explained the Coachella kiss that reignited relationship rumors. They described the incident as “one thing led to another as the night progressed” and just a “one-off” situation.
The previous weekend, videos and photos of Mendes and Cabello kissing and hanging out at the Coachella music festival in Indio, California went viral.
New music from Camila Cabello
Neither Cabello nor Mendes have officially commented on the relationship rumors. However, fans of Cabello think she recently referenced their rekindled romance in her new song.
On Wednesday the singer took to Instagram to share a snippet of her upcoming song. “4.12,” along with a flower bouquet emoji she wrote in the caption, hinting at the song’s possible name.
The song’s lyrics are what caught fans’ attention, who quickly theorized that the ‘Havana’ singer may be referencing her romantic exchange with ex-boyfriend Shawn Mendes.
“How come you’re just so much better/is this gonna end ever/I guess so, f**k around and find out/Are you coming to Coachella, if you don’t it’s whatever/if you do honey, you’ll be all I think about,” she sings in the snippet.
