Years Before Matthew Hussey Romance, Camila Cabello Sparked Dating Rumors with One Direction Heartthrob After a Wild Night Out
Camila Cabello is a pop star who keeps fans talking, not just with her music, but also with her relationships. We all know about her high-profile romance with Shawn Mendes. The two started out as close friends before evolving into one of the most talked-about couples in pop music. But there’s more to the story!
Before Mendes, Cabello dated British coach Matthew Hussey for a year and a half. However, their relationship ended in 2019. The chart-topping singer, known for hits like Havana and Señorita, was even once linked to a member of the mega boyband One Direction before Hussey.
Did Camila Cabello and Louis Tomlinson Ever Date?
In 2015, the internet went crazy after photos of Camila Cabello and Louis Tomlinson came to the fore, leaving a nightclub in Los Angeles together (according to J-14). With both singers being young and successful, fans were quick to jump to conclusions.
Everyone started talking about it online, with the hashtag #CongratulationsLouisAndCamila trending on Twitter. But the truth is, nobody knows for sure. The two singers never said anything about it, so nobody knows if they were just friends hanging out or if there was something more. While the connection with Tomlinson remains a mystery, Cabello did have a confirmed relationship before she started dating Shawn Mendes.
Camila Cabello’s Confirmed Relationship with Dating Coach
Camila Cabello recently shared details about her first real love on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast. The 27-year-old revealed she met relationship coach Matthew Hussey on the set of the Today show in 2018. A fan of his dating podcast, she introduced herself and ended up going to dinner with him that same night.
This relationship turned out to be Cabello’s first, and she said she lost her virginity to Hussey at the age of 20. She described the experience as “beautiful” and said the YouTuber’s coaching background made him a great partner.
The Shameless star credits Hussey for introducing her to new things outside the music world, including shows like Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown and Studio Ghibli films. The couple’s relationship ended in June 2019, and Cabello went on to date singer Shawn Mendes later that year. Their romance lasted two years before splitting in 2021.
Both Cabello and Hussey have since moved on. He married Audrey Le Strat in October 2023, and the songstress has been seen with Mendes again, although their relationship status remains unclear.
