He held nothing back!
Shawn Mendes is touching on the "brutal" effects of having a relationship with Camila Cabello in the limelight.
The 'Stitches' singer made an appearance on the latest episode of Jay Shetty‘s On Purpose podcast and he opened up about navigating a breakup while the whole world is watching.
Opening up about his relationship with the 'Havana' singer he said: “I mean, honestly, I think Camila and I have just done the best job at preserving our private lives.
No matter how strong mentally you are, when there are millions of people commenting on it, it’s so hard not to be affected by it, and to be swayed by it, and to be inspired by it, and to desire it because people desire it, or to hate it because people hate it, and it’s just human”
On not letting other peoples opinions get to him, he said: "And I feel like her and I have just like worked extremely hard to just protect each other, and protect that love, you know, and I learned a lot about that. And it’s part of it. It’s definitely part of it. And there’s no getting away from that. But if I’m being completely honest, I don’t really go on social media anymore."
He continued, “So I don’t really see or care what people say about my love life or my relationships because it’s just, it’s honestly too detrimental to the actual relationship itself that I’ve become pretty strict on that part of it, you know, but it’s crazy, man. This is not a movie."
