Shawn Mendes is seemingly addressing his infamous love triangle with Sabrina Carpenter and Camila Cabello for the first time.
In a preview for Thursdayâs episode of John Mayerâs SiriusXM show, âHowâs Life,â the âSeñoritaâ singer says that while he was dating âsomeone,â he reunited with an ex-girlfriend due to some âunresolved feelings.â
âTwo days before going to hang with my ex, [I] express Iâm going to hang with my ex because I have unresolved feelings,â he says in the clip.
In hindsight, Mendes says that âmaybe instead of two daysâ he should have told her âtwo weeksâ ahead of time.
Mayer then asks Mendes, âIs there something in all of this that you could say, âYeah, I played that wrong?ââ
Mendes reacts by saying the biggest lesson he has learned in life is: âNo one gets out of this life without getting hurt and no one gets out of this life without hurting someone.â
While Mendes doesnât name the women heâs speaking about in the clip, the âStitchesâ hitmaker and Cabello, who first dated from 2019 to 2021, were rumored to have rekindled their relationship for a brief period in 2023 â after he reportedly struck up a romance with Carpenter.
Mendes and the âGirl Meets Worldâ star were first spotted together in Los Angeles shortly after Valentineâs Day in 2023. However, by that April, Mendes and Cabello made headlines for kissing at the Coachella music festival and enjoying an Eras Tour date night the following month.
While Mendes and Cabello eventually went their separate ways â once more â Carpenter seemingly hinted at the love triangle in her albumâs opener, âTaste,â which is about a man going back and forth between a new fling and his ex-girlfriend.
âI heard youâre back together and if thatâs true / Youâll just have to taste me when heâs kissinâ you / If you want forever, I bet you do / Just know youâll taste me too,â Carpenter sings in the song.
Cabello also seemingly reacted to the drama by posting a TikTok of herself lip-syncing to her song âJune Gloom,â rumored to be about Carpenter.
âSheâs cool, I heard / Wonât act surprised, I saw the pictures,â Cabello sings in the song, which came out in June. âWeâre a house fire, for sure / Hope itâll burn out, but it just gets bigger.â
Carpenter went on to date âSaltburnâ star Barry Keoghan, but they split earlier this month.
Meanwhile, the âSenĂ”ritaâ duo sparked reconciliation rumors, once again, after attending the Copa AmĂ©rica Final together in July.
