While on vacation in the Caribbean, Camila Cabello packs on the PDA with her billionaire heir Henry Junior Chalhoub.
It appears that Camila Cabello is ringing in the new year with a new romantic partner.
During a St. Bart’s beach vacation, Cabello, 27, was seen giving Henry Junior Chalhoub the PDA. Before finally exchanging passionate kisses, the couple was spotted holding hands and splashing around a body of water.
Following rumors that they met at an Elie Saab afterparty in Saudi Arabia, Cabello and Chalhoub, both 28, have been romantically involved since November 2024. Chalhoub and the singer have neither acknowledged nor publicly addressed their alleged romance.
Chalhoub is the multibillionaire heir to his family’s Dubai-based Chalhoub Group. On its website, the company is depicted as “a Middle Eastern partner and creator of luxury experiences with a portfolio of 8 owned brands and over 300 international brands.”
Chalhoub had a brief relationship with supermodel Joan Smalls in 2021 before his alleged affair with Cabello. In 2023, Cabello ended her well-known relationship with fellow artist Shawn Mendes.
The 26-year-old Cabello and Mendes were first together from 2019 until 2021. She briefly dated Austin Kevitch, the founder of Lox Club, after their breakup, but their relationship ended in February 2023. At Coachella two months later, Cabello and Mendes were spotted flaunting their PDA.
However, Cabello and Mendes’ reunion was brief, as a source confirmed to Us Weekly in June 2023 that they had broken up once more.
According to the insider, “Camila was the one who ultimately decided to end things,” Us said. “After spending so much time together, many of their old issues began to resurface.”
Since then, Cabello and Mendes have maintained their cordial relationship.
He stated in an interview with Apple Music 1 in November 2024, “I just think that we really know each other.” “I believe we truly know one another, even though we haven’t been the closest in recent years. We’ve been together for a long time. We truly understand one another’s hearts. We can therefore look right through each other even when there is a lot of noise and sound, and that is just convenient.

Additionally, Cabello has been candid about letting go of her ex-boyfriend.
In a June 2024 feature, she reflected on their “Havana” and “Señorita” duets, saying, “As a woman, you’re like, ‘I don’t want this couple thing to be my new identity,’” after being in a very public relationship.
“I believe there’s always a concern when a song gets so big that it’s going to be bigger than you,” Cabello went on. It goes without saying that I adore their success and size. However, it does make others feel a particular kind of attachment to you.
