LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Camila Cabello and Rauw Alejandro have set the record straight regarding dating rumors that surfaced after they were linked together earlier on Friday, July 28. Speculation began to swirl about a potential romance between the two stars, but an insider told People that the dating claims are "100 percent not true." Instead, the source claimed, "They just happened to be at two of the same events. They barely even spent time together at either event."
The events in question were the 'Inter Miami soccer' game on Tuesday, July 27, where both Camila and Rauw were seen alongside Sean 'Diddy' Combs and DJ Khaled. Additionally, they were spotted together at the 'Premios Juventud Awards' on July 20. However, sources close to the situation have clarified that their presence at these events does not signify a romantic relationship.
Adding to the speculation were the recent breakups of both musicians. Rauw recently ended his engagement to Spanish singer Rosalía, just four months after announcing their engagement. Despite calling off their engagement, both Rauw and Rosalía have expressed that they still love and respect each other.
'Rosi and I ended our engagement'
In response to rumors of infidelity, Rauw took to social media to deny any such claims. He stated that he and Rosalía decided to end their engagement a few months ago for reasons unrelated to cheating or involvement with a third party. He expressed his frustration at having to publicly address such a private matter but wanted to set the record straight and defend the authenticity of their love story.
"Yes, a few months ago, Rosi and I ended our engagement," he penned in Spanish on Instagram Stories, before calling out the "erroneous public allegations have emerged" following their separation. Rauw wrote, "There are thousands of problems that could cause a breakup, but in our case, it was not due to third parties or infidelity."
He then added, "Out of the respect I have for her, our families, and all that we lived through, I could not stay silent and continue to watch how they try to destroy the story of the most real love that God has permitted me to live." The Spanish artist continued, "I never saw myself in a position of even thinking that I would have to give public statements on this matter that is so private to me."
'I love, respect, and admire Raúl very much'
Rosalía, too, shared a statement on her Instagram Stories, expressing her love, respect, and admiration for Rauw and dismissed any drama surrounding their breakup. Both artists acknowledged the difficulty of the situation and thanked their fans for their understanding and respecting their privacy.
"I love, respect, and admire Raúl very much," Rosalía wrote in Spanish on her Instagram Stories, referring to his real name Raúl Alejandro Ocasio Ruiz. She continued, "Not paying attention to the theatrics, we know what we have experienced. This moment is not easy so thanks to everyone for understanding and respecting."
Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes' on-off relationship takes another turn
Camila's recent split from her 'on again, off again' boyfriend Shawn Mendes added fuel to the dating rumors. The couple had reunited just six weeks after breaking up, but it seems their attempt at reigniting their romance was short-lived. Sources told The Sun that they tested the waters again but realized they were not right for each other romantically and decided to move on.
Despite the explosive dating rumors, Camila and Rauw are not currently romantically involved. Their presence at the same events seems to be a mere coincidence. As both artists navigate the aftermath of their respective breakups, they are setting the record straight and moving forward with respect and admiration for each other and their past relationships.
