That’s quite a unique approach! Camila Cabello is known for her fiery passion both on and off the stage, and it appears that the way she handles relationships is no exception. The pop sensation has recently spoken out about her views on break-up s*x, revealing that she doesn’t see any issue with indulging in a steamy rendezvous with her ex—but only with a certain condition.
The singer-songwriter, 27, revealed in a candid interview for the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast that she is fine with having breakup s*x as long as it is done with a mindset of growth and self-reflection. Cabello emphasized that she is not interested in engaging in physical intimacy with an ex-partner simply for the possibility of rekindling her relationship.
Others may think it is a waste of time or have a different perspective, but this has helped her on a personal level.
Camila Cabello Opens Up About the Role of Self-Reflection in Post-Breakup Intimacy
Some people might see break-up s*x as a way to cling to the past or avoid having to confront a relationship ending, Camila Cabello has a different perspective. In a Wednesday appearance on Call Her Daddy, the singer-songwriter discussed her split from Shawn Mendes, and her views on relationships and breakup s*x. In reference to the latter, she stated (via Yahoo):
“I feel like if you’re wanting to have breakup s*x you’re probably gonna hit each other up next week. There’s still something there.”
However, the I Know What You Did Last Summer hitmaker made it clear that she has a single requirement when it comes to breakup s*x. Cabello added:
“And like I said, I’m sorry, I’m a proponent. I don’t believe in the forbidden fruit — if you want it do it. Kinda like ‘date him until you hate him’ vibe. I don’t actually hate anybody but I’m saying do it until it’s out of your system.”
Her unconventional perspectives on breakup s*x are a reflection of her fearless and ardent approach to life and love. Although some may think it is a waste of time or hold different opinions, Cabello said that this has personally helped her. She continued:
“I also think the hard part is that sometimes you do waste some time in that way. You’re still entertaining something, and maybe there could be somebody out there that’s better.”
She is ultimately in favor of breakup s*x—as long as the other person is putting in the “inner work”. In November 2021, Cabello and Shawn Mendes made their separation official.

At another point in the conversation, Camila Cabello—who is currently single—talked at length about her personal life on the podcast, including her relationship with Shawn Mendes. When questioned about the subject of rekindling relationships with ex-partners, she gave a positive response:
“I personally think it’s helpful. You can’t forbid things from me because I will want to do it more. If I want to text him, I’m gonna text him. You need to know that it’s not going to work and then you need to be over it and you need to be like, ‘I did it. And I know’.”
Cabello started dating Mendes in 2019, which sparked criticism because of claims that it was a publicity stunt (via The Guardian). The Señorita singers declared their separation in November 2021. The Romance hitmaker revealed a few of the things that were on her mind regarding the reconciliation:
“I’m kind of impulsive in that way I would say. I feel like it if I feel it I say it and I’m not really good at not doing that…So I would rather say it and see what happens and then wake up then next morning and find out that it’s been heavily documented…It was a great route, it was a fun time, it was a fun moment. I will always care about him and love him.”
Cabello started dating Austin Kevitch, the CEO of Lox, in August 2022; however, they parted ways in February 2023 (see People).
