While Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello haven’t said anything about their breakup beyond their initial statement confirming it happened, more sources have spoken out about how and why the two decided to call it quits on their two-year romance. E! got intel from a source about how the conversation went down—and who started it.
Last week, Mendes “initiated the conversation” with Cabello, the source said. Although she was “very upset over the split,” she “agreed” it was for the best, that source added.
The two really meant it when they said in their statement that they plan to continue being close, just not romantically. They are “still in communication and want to be friends,” the source said. “[It] was not a bad breakup at all.”
“The relationship was getting stale and complacent and they decided they are better off being friends,” the source said.

Cabello is doing as fine as she can given the situation, by the way: “It was really hard for a few days but she has been spending a lot of time with friends and keeping busy,” the source said. “She has a huge support system and is feeling renewed now.” The source did not disclose how Mendes is doing.
Cabello shared an Instagram carousel of photos depicting her life solo now:

The dispatch from E!’s source comes after Entertainment Tonight got insight from a source yesterday about how Mendes and Cabello really decided together that things weren’t working anymore. “Shawn and Camila’s breakup was mutual,” the source said. “They realized they are in totally different places in their lives at this point, and it was time to end things. They’re both sad about the split, but doing their best to take care of themselves, stay busy and surround themselves by loved ones.”
In their statement announcing their breakup, Cabello and Mendes stressed their intention to remain in each other’s life.
Hey guys, we’ve decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever ❤️
We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends. We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward ❤️❤️❤️
Camila and Shawn
