Of course, their timing was perfect as Camila and her boyfriend of one year Matthew Hussey decided to call it quits on June 26. The “Never Be the Same” songstress and the relationship guru were first spotted getting cozy on vacation together in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in February 2018.

So in Love
The split was a bit of a shock to fans since the pop star seemed head over heels for her beau. “He’s so similar to me,” she told Marie Claire in November 2018 about their relationship. “In person, we’re just weird and silly and stupid together. He makes me the happiest I’ve ever been in my life.”

First Love
This was Camila’s first boyfriend, too, as she had not been involved with anyone else previously. “I’ve literally never had a long-term relationship,” she told Seventeen in February 2017. “So, when I show people my songs, they’re like, ‘Who’s this about? I’ve never seen you with a boy ever.’ I make all of these fantasies in my head. There’s this constant theme of unrequited love and me loving people from afar.”

Moving On
“I don’t even wanna put a title on it,” he told Rolling Stone magazine in November 2018 about what went down between them. “I think it was more of a zone of limbo.” The model went on to marryJustin Bieber and Shawn was thrilled about their new romance. “I texted Hailey, ‘Congratulations,’ and I am really happy for them,” he said. “She’s still one of the f—king coolest people ever — she’s not just a beautiful person visually, but she’s one of the most beautiful hearts I’ve ever met.”

Clearing the Air
Oh, and the Calvin Klein model also addressed the rumors about his sexuality. “I’d like to say I don’t care about it, but that’s not true,” he told the outlet about the attention on his personal life. “This massive, massive thing for the last five years about me being gay. In the back of my heart, I feel like I need to go be seen with someone — like a girl — in public, to prove to people that I’m not gay.”

Squashing the Rumors
Shawn decided to be upfront with his fans about the rumors on his Snapchat story. “I noticed a lot of people were saying I gave them a ‘gay vibe,’” he said in the video. “First of all, I’m not gay. Second of all, it shouldn’t make a difference if I was or wasn’t.”

Dream Girl
So, who is Shawn’s ideal girl? “I really like funny girls, girls with a witty sense of humor; so if someone is able to catch onto what I’m saying very quickly, I find that very attractive. I really like brunettes … and also, dancers! I have a thing for dancers,” he told Notion magazine in 2017. Umm … sounds like cough, Camila, cough.
