Camila Cabello, known for her catchy tunes and captivating performances, recently shared a personal chapter from her life. You might remember her as a celebrated member of the popular girl group Fifth Harmony, the powerhouse behind hits like ‘Worth It’ and ‘That’s My Girl.’ Since she ventured out on her own, Cabello’s career has taken off, amassing billions of streams and creating a promising solo trajectory.
In an open interview, the talented singer gave insights into her romantic past, candidly discussing her ‘perfect first relationship,’ filled with warmth and mutual respect. Cabello’s love life has often captivated the public’s imagination, particularly her high-profile relationship with fellow entertainer Shawn Mendes. Their romantic journey began in 2019 and saw them sharing numerous heartfelt moments. Despite their split in 2021, they promised to remain ‘best friends,’ with a joint statement affirming their enduring affection for one another.
During a heartfelt conversation on Dax Shepherd’s Armchair Expert Podcast, Cabello disclosed that she shared her first intimate experience at the age of 20. She described that milestone as ‘literally lovemaking’ and a beautiful memory. During this period, she was romantically involved with Matthew Hussey, a well-known podcast host and author, from whom she gleaned valuable life lessons.
Cabello fondly recalled meeting Hussey on the set of The Today Show in 2018. A listener of his podcast, she was a fan of his insights on dating and relationships before they even met in person. Reflecting on their relationship, she shared that it was ‘the perfect first relationship’ and highlighted that Hussey introduced her to new perspectives, being from outside the entertainment sphere.
Unfortunately, their story came to a gentle close as reported by People magazine, with the couple parting ways in 2019. Since then, they’ve each followed their own paths, and Hussey married Audrey Le Strat in 2023. Meanwhile, Camila’s romantic journey led her to a noted romance with Shawn Mendes, capturing both fans’ and media attention during their time together.
Reflecting on her experiences, Camila shared wiser thoughts on the Call Me Daddy podcast about her personal life. She mentioned being single now and feeling the enjoyment of meeting new people and exploring different connections. Recognizing her story resonates with many who have followed similar paths late into adulthood, Cabello’s openness about her romantic milestones offers both inspiration and relatability.
