Shawn Mendes & Camilla Cabello breakup; tell they will remain best friends

While confirming linkups, engagements and marriages is always heartening to read about when it comes to the entertainment industry, any split, breakup or divorce is as heartbreaking.

It becomes all the more heartbreaking especially when it's some of the most loved stars. That is what has happened as it can be confirmed that singers Shawn Mendes and Camilla Cabello have broke up.

On Wednesday, Nov. 17, the pop stars announced that they have broken up after dating for more than two years. Camila and Shawn wrote on their respective Instagram Stories, "Hey guys, we've decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever."

"We started out relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends," the statement continued. "We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward."

The announcement came out of left field for fans of the "Señorita" singers, as Shawn and Camila appeared more in love than ever on Halloween. For the occasion, the pair dressed up in matching folklorico outfits in honor of the Day of the Dead.

Since they started dating in July 2019, the singers have been nearly inseparable.

The couple even began seeking counseling in an effort to improve their relationship with each other. In October, Camila told Glamour that it's because of therapy that they are able to "trust each other so much." 

We do hope the duo continue to remain best of friends indeed.
