What Happened?

Before they became an item, the duo released a smash hit titled "I Know What You Did Last Summer," and the chemistry in the song and video was insane. After watching contestants perform their song at battles of "The Voice," Cabello disclosed a jaw-dropping fact behind the production.

She and Mendes were inspired to make that song at one of Taylor Swift's concerts. They proceeded to Swift's dressing room to start writing the track from scratch.

Even John Legend was no stranger to their oozing chemistry. He once noted that they pulled it off effortlessly as it was their first-ever collaboration as friends.

Others simply said they started dating under pressure and would split soon.

Despite all these assumptions, the duo has proven that their love is genuine and beautiful. Although they went quiet on their relationship for a while, they resurfaced with a seemingly stronger bond. We only hope it would get even better for the lovebirds.

Who Have They Dated In The Past?

Mendes and Cabello may now be soulmates, but before they found each other, they were in relationships with other people that they thought would last forever.

However, fans are rooting for this duo that they live happily ever after regardless of the difficulties that come with being in a relationship.

Before meeting each other, the singers have been in several previous relationships with some of the biggest names in the industry. Cabello was seemingly involved with singer-songwriter Austin Mahone and the famous face of now broken up boyband "One Direction," Louis Tomlinson.
