According to E! News, the breakup was confirmed by multiple outlets on June 3, 2026, bringing an end to what had been one of the more glamorous — and surprising — celebrity romances of recent years. No dramatic statement. No Instagram goodbye post. Just a quiet, confirmed split between a pop star and the heir to a $1.7 billion luxury empire.
From a Saudi Arabia Afterparty to St. Barts — A Romance That Moved Fast
Their story started in November 2024 at an Elie Saab afterparty in Saudi Arabia, where Camila, 29, and Henry, 40, were first spotted together. Mysterious? Very. Glamorous? Absolutely. The kind of meet-cute that sounds like the opening scene of a very expensive movie? One hundred percent.
Two months later, any lingering doubt about whether they were just friends evaporated pretty quickly. People reported the pair sharing passionate kisses on a beach in St. Barts in January 2025, which is about as confirmed as celebrity romances get without an actual Instagram post. That St. Barts trip was their first official public outing as a couple, and it set the tone for a relationship that felt like it was moving confidently in one direction.
Until it did not.
Who Exactly Is Henry Junior Chalhoub?
For those not already familiar with the Chalhoub name, a quick introduction is in order. Henry Junior Chalhoub comes from one of the most powerful luxury retail dynasties in the Middle East. According to Forbes, the Chalhoub Group — founded by his family and based in Dubai — operates over 600 stores across the region selling brands including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Christian Louboutin. The family's estimated worth sits at $1.7 billion.
So yes, this was not your average celebrity relationship. This was Camila Cabello dating into actual generational wealth, the kind that does not show up on a Billboard chart.
Camila Has Always Kept Her Heart Close
What makes this breakup feel particularly quiet is how deliberately Camila has always guarded her romantic life. She told Elle magazine back in 2019 that love is "the most sacred, precious thing" to her and that she never wants her relationships to feel like public property.
"I like to live my life as normally as possible," she said at the time. "In a relationship, it makes me feel uncomfortable to invite everyone in on that."
And yet, inevitably, her feelings have always found their way into her music. Her 2024 album C, XOXO was widely interpreted as an emotional reckoning with past relationships, and she spoke to Puss Puss magazine about writing through complicated feelings without being able to neatly label them as happy or sad. "It's just kind of me wrestling with these feelings," she explained.
Given that album dropped while she was dating Henry, it makes you wonder which chapter she was processing — and whether a new one is already being written.
The Ex Factor: Shawn Mendes Is Still in the Picture
No Camila Cabello relationship story is complete without acknowledging the elephant in the room — or rather, the ex-boyfriend who keeps showing up. Camila and Shawn Mendes dated from 2019 to 2021, one of the most followed celebrity romances of its era. They briefly reunited with a very public kiss at Coachella in 2023, which sent the internet into a full spiral.
Since then, Shawn has spoken openly about the complexity of their relationship. In interviews, he acknowledged that the two are no longer as close as they once were — which, fair enough, tends to happen when a relationship ends twice.
Whether Shawn factors into Camila's next chapter is anyone's guess. But the timing of this latest breakup, coming just as Camila is presumably heads-down on new music, suggests that whatever comes next from her will have plenty of emotional material to work with.
For now, the señorita is flying solo. And knowing Camila Cabello, she will probably write something absolutely devastating about it.
