Camila Cabello opened up about how she lost her virginity, revealing her first time was with her then-first boyfriend, Matthew Hussey when she was 20 years old. “That was my first relationship,” she shared on the Armchair Expert podcast. “It was late for my first time.”

Before dating Matthew, Camila said she felt “lonely” as she had never been in a romantic relationship during her teen years. So when she met Matthew backstage during a 2018 appearance on Today, something clicked for them.

According to the singer and actress, her experience wasn’t traumatic. “It was literally lovemaking,” she said of her first intimate moment with Matthew. “It was beautiful.”

Camila noted that Matthew’s background as a relationship coach “honestly made him a great partner” in general. “He was a really great person,” she added. “It was like the perfect first relationship.”

Following her split from Matthew, Camila dated Shawn Mendes. They were together for two years before splitting in November 2021. They briefly reunited in April 2023 before calling it quits again.
