Two years after calling it quits, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello were spotted making out at Coachella, according to footage shared on social media. 

In a short clip shared by Pop Crave on Twitter, Mendes, 24, and Cabello, 26, appeared to be hugging and sharing a kiss in the middle of a crowd during the first weekend of the music festival in Indio, California.

Cabello was wearing pants with a corset top while Mendes opted for a t-shirt and what looked like a bandana tied around his neck.

While the duo didn't look to be conscious of having a PDA moment, their apparent reunion may come as a surprise to fans, as they officially dated from 2019 before breaking up in 2021. 

As Insider previously reported, the "Havana" singer and Mendes were romantically linked in 2015, but they did not announce they were officially together until July 2019. They had met in 2014 when Cabello, who was part of girl band Fifth Harmony at the time, and Mendes were openers for Austin Mahone's tour. 

This came after they worked on a steamy video for their song "Señorita." At the time, Cabello was coupled up with relationship coach Matthew Hussey, who she dated for a year, but People reported that they broke up a few days after the video.

Mendes announced he was dating Cabello while performing at a concert in October that year. Since then, the pair have been open about their relationship, with Mendes telling Access Hollywood in 2020 that he had been in love with Cabello for five years but feared he would be rejected by her.

"It takes a lot of courage to tell the woman that you love that you love her," Mendes said at the time.

In 2020, Mendes released his single "Wonder," which was inspired by their relationship. According to Seventeen, he told Radio.com in 2020 that the lyrics of "Wonder that the lyrics of "Wonder" were inspired by his relationship with Cabello and realizations he had about himself while they've been together.

"I thought that I was a pretty open, emotional, guy until I started being in a relationship with someone that I really, truly love and, realizing that 'oh no, I really have this big ego, and I don't want to show her that I'm hurting and I don't want to show her that that offended me, and like I want to be the man, and I want to be strong in this relationship,'" he said.

However, in November 2021, the couple announced their split. In a shared statement posted to their respective Instagram stories, Mendes and Cabello wrote that while they've ended their "romantic relationship," their "love for one another as humans is stronger than ever."

"We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends," the note continued. "We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward."

Representatives for Mendes and Cabello did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
