Shawn Mendes is opening up about his recent split from Camila Cabello.
While speaking with Sirius XM’s “The Morning Mash Up”, Mendes said he is trying to not be “too hard on [himself] about the feelings” and giving himself “grace.”
“I think a big one for me was realizing that there’s so many people in my life that I can rely on,” he continued. “I don’t just have to put all of my, you know, hardship onto one person.”
For the Canadian singer, the breakup was learning how to “trust” people in his life again like friends and family “instead of like, just calling one person I had now six people I could call and like balancing out that.”
