Shawn Mendes has seemingly addressed the rumored love triangle involving him, Camila Cabello, and Sabrina Carpenter in a candid new interview.
If you need a refresher, the drama began when the 26-year-old “Stitches” singer sparked romance rumors with Sabrina Carpenter in early 2023. Shortly after, he briefly rekindled his relationship with longtime love Camila Cabello, leaving fans buzzing about the potential love triangle. Adding fuel to the fire, fans speculated that Sabrina might have referenced the situation in her Short n Sweet album.
Until now, none of the three stars directly addressed the rumors—though Shawn has just hinted at the situation in a revealing chat with John Mayer on his SiriusXM show, How’s Life.
During the interview, Shawn admitted to being caught between feelings for an ex while seeing someone new. “Two days before going to hang with my ex, [I] express I’m going to hang with my ex because I have unresolved feelings. Maybe instead of two days, it could have been two weeks,” he reflected, as reported by TMZ.
While he didn’t name names, fans quickly connected the dots, believing he was alluding to his time with Sabrina and his rekindled romance with Camila.
Shawn went on to share the key lesson he took away from the situation: “The biggest lesson I’ve learned is you don’t… no one gets out of this life without getting hurt. And no one gets out of this life without hurting someone,” he said. His introspective comment struck a chord, showing a more vulnerable and reflective side of the singer.
Though the love triangle rumors dominated headlines earlier this year, all three stars have been keeping busy. Shawn has been focusing on his music and personal growth, Sabrina continues to shine in her music career, and Camila has been thriving in her creative endeavors.
Shawn’s openness provides a glimpse into the complexities of relationships, especially under the intense scrutiny of fame. His reflective approach to what could have been a messy situation reveals his desire to learn and grow—a sentiment his fans have admired about him throughout his career.
For now, it seems Shawn is putting the past behind him and focusing on his future. Fans will no doubt be watching to see what comes next for the Canadian heartthrob—and hoping his lessons in love will inspire some new music along the way!
