Camila Cabello shed light on her brief reconciliation with ex Shawn Mendes last year and spilled the tea on her trip to the Caribbean with Drake on the latest episode of Call Her Daddy.
During an appearance on Alex Cooper’s podcast, Camila, 27, talked making out with Shawn, 25, at Coachella and her eyebrow-raising vacation with Drake, 37, last year.
Camila and Shawn dated from 2019 to 2021 before rekindling their romance last year. However, their reunion didn’t last long, and they ultimately went their separate ways again.
‘It wasn’t even a decision, I think you are just kind of like, “Yeah this doesn’t really—it’s not a fit,’ she said of breaking up a second time.
‘Luckily, I was in a place in my life where it took me less time to realize that. It took us both less time to be like, “This doesn’t feel right, and we really don’t need to try so hard to make it work,”‘ she explained.

‘It’s all good. This is not feeling good. Let’s be friends. I love you, it’s all good let’s move on, you go do your thing … become the person that you’re becoming, and I’ll root for you,’ she said.
Speaking of their reconciliation, she called it a ‘fun moment’.
‘I’m kind of impulsive in that way, I would say. If I feel it, I say it, and I’m not really good at not doing that,’ she said. ‘Then the worst place for it to live in is my mind and then I’m like Ryan Gosling in The Notebook building a house for this person.
‘I would rather say it and see what happens, and then wake up the next day and find out that it’s been heavily documented,’ she added.
‘I opted for that route. It is what it is. It was a great route, it was a fun time. It was a fun moment.’
Though they are no longer together, she still spoke highly of her ex, praising him as a ‘good guy.’
”I will always care about him and love him. He’s such a good person and I’m lucky because some people have exes that are awful, and he is not. He’s a really kind, good person,’ she said.
She also dished on her trip to Turks and Caicos back in December with Drake.
The duo were spotted jet-skiing together and having an intimate conversation at Turks and Caicos Islands’ hotspot Noah’s Ark Beach Club in footage obtained by Pop Crave.
‘First of all, I wouldn’t say “straight up vacation.” It was vacation, plus work,’ she said.

‘You know what, I love that man. I love him. We all love him,’ she added.
But she averted answering a question about whether or not they had ever dated: ‘[Have I ever had a] beautiful artistic collaboration with him? I may or may not have.’
Camila said called the vacation a ‘friends trip’ as she revealed how they both ended up in the Caribbean with one another.
The songstress described how she listens to Drake’s tunes while writing her own music. She contacted him, asking if he wanted to listen to her new album.
‘So we hung out, I played him my album,’ she said. ‘He loved it … it was also such a surreal moment for me to play Drake my songs.’
‘It’s a dream. I remember being there and being like, wow, this is so f**king sick and he’s so generous and so kind and – but anyway, so I didn’t like just go on vacation with him,’ she explained.
‘It was like a vacation, like, work thing. But honestly, I will say I love him. And that has been such a fun part about this whole experience.’
