What’s up y’all, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. with Clevver News, and is there a celebrity
wedding happening in the near future?
Let’s face it, there’s no question Shawn Mendes is completely smitten with Camila Cabello,
and if you listen closely you miiiiight be able to hear the sweet sound of wedding bells
off in the distance!
The engagement clues have been stacking up, so let’s break it down!
It was the year 2014 at the start of Shawn Mendes’ career and the peak of Fifth Harmony’s
unstoppable sweep of radio airtime… the two had just met during Austin Mahone’s
tour and immediately confided in each other as musicians and as friends.
Shawmila first sparked romance rumors all the way back in 2015 after dropping the release
of their first collaboration “I Know What You Did Last Summer.”
They constantly swore off the dating rumors, buuut they say that the best relationships
start out as friendships…
Camila even revealed in an interview with Rolling Stone that she knew she wanted to
be with Shawn around the time they first played music together, saying QUOTE, “I really
bonded with him as more than a friend.
I think he did, too, but we were both really young, and he was experiencing the pressures
of his career.
It was this awkward thing where we both liked each other, but we weren't together.”
Fast forward almost seven years and the two have even more chart-topping collaborations
together, are madly in love, surviving a pandemic together, and they’re even raising a fur-baby
together.
So it was no wonder why the rumor mill was buzzing that Shawn and Camila were engaged
earlier this month after The Daily Mail obtained photos of the two taking a stroll with Camila’s
parents in Miami weeks before reportedly spending the holidays with his family in Toronto.
Many were quick to assume that visiting both sets of parents was a major sign something
serious was going on as fans eagerly rushed to social media to seek even the slightest
shred of confirmation that an engagement would be or has already been underway.
Not to mention, celebrity gossip Instagram page Deux Moi shared screenshots of anonymous
users who sent in submissions alluding to the fact that Shawn and Camila have been engaged
for a few weeks now.
One user wrote in QUOTE, “Can confirm that he proposed to Camila a few weeks ago, and
it’s just starting to hit the press.
HollyWire apparently caught on.
I guess they will announce in the coming days.”
But unlike many whirlwind Hollywood love affairs, Shawn and Camila’s relationship was masked
with friendship for years until the two dropped their sultry duet “Senorita” in 2018 and
the relationship rumors instantly became the focal point on fans’ radars.
It wasn’t until October of 2019 when Shawn confirmed that he and Camila had been dating
for about four months during a concert Q&A in Australia.
And like the rest of us, the two decided to go into lockdown together just a few months
later, where Shawn admitted that he and Camila were able to slow down and spend much more
quality time together, adding that the two watched the entire Harry Potter film series
and Netflix’s Stranger Things three times through each… now that’s impressive…
But it seems Shawmila were also able to discuss some deeper topics that would affect their
future together…
AKA the topic of engagement.
Amid the speculation, Shawn caught up with Entertainment Tonight back in December shortly
after breakup rumors began swirling, and he quickly put those rumors to rest when asked
about Camila and whether the topic of marriage has been discussed.
He said QUOTE, “Yeah, absolutely!
I really think ‘when you know, you know’ and she’s been one of my best friends since
I was, like, 15 years old.”
Although Shawn is aware he’s still young and doesn’t want to “jump insanely fast,”
he seems pretty set on spending his life with his leading lady.
“I think when you find your person, you feel and you know that you have found your
person.”
Around the same time, Camila appeared to clear the air on those breakup rumors when she shared
a lengthy message to Shawn about what he’s taught her about love.
She explained that although it’s “not as simple as it looks in pictures,” Camila
explained that there’s “...nothing like the pull, the FORCE that is love, to be the
light in the darkness- to be the gravitational pull that gives you the relentless strength
to be braver, wiser, and better than you were yesterday.”
Shawn also gave fans a glimpse into his most personal thoughts on his relationship in the
form of literally every single song off his fourth studio album Wonder.
In the Netflix documentary In Wonder that preceded the album, lest we not forget that
Shawn fully admitted that every single love song he writes is about Camila.
“‘They’ve always been about you.’
She goes, ‘What do you mean?’
I’m like, ‘They’re all about you.
Like, every song I’ve ever wrote.”
The two have always shared a musical bond, and interestingly enough, Shawn admitted that
even before his own family, Camila is the first person to listen to his singles, telling
103.5 KTU back in 2018 that he QUOTE, “treasures her opinion.”
He can also thank Camila for allowing him to come face-to-face with his innermost demons,
explaining to Radio.com QUOTE, “I thought that I was a pretty open, emotional guy until
I started being in a relationship with someone that I really, truly love and, realizing that,
‘Oh no, I really have this big ego, and I don't want to show her that I'm hurting
and I don't want to show her that that offended me.’”
Because of this, Shawn and Camila are stronger than ever before as he admitted that “The
real strength does lie inside of being emotional and being vulnerable.”
Although it’s important not to jump to conclusions, a future together appears to be a done-deal
at this point, but whatever they choose to do and whenever they choose to do it, we can’t
wait to watch Shawn and Camila’s love story continue to flourish.
