Camila Cabello, the chart-topping pop sensation known for hits like “Havana” and “Señorita,” has been making headlines not just for her music but for her love life. The 28-year-old singer was recently spotted indulging in a romantic European vacation with her rumored boyfriend, billionaire heir Henry Junior Chalhoub. The couple’s steamy public displays of affection (PDA) have sparked widespread interest, confirming rumors that have been swirling since late 2024. From the sun-kissed beaches of St. Barts to the glamorous front row at Paris Fashion Week and a passionate rendezvous in Ibiza, Cabello and Chalhoub are painting Europe red with their blossoming romance. Here’s everything we know about Camila Cabello’s new relationship and the man who’s captured her heart.
A Steamy Start in St. Barts
The romance between Camila Cabello and Henry Junior Chalhoub first came into the public eye in January 2025, when the couple was photographed during a PDA-packed beach outing in St. Barts. Paparazzi captured the pair frolicking in the Caribbean waters, with Cabello, 27 at the time, sporting a chic brown-and-white bikini and Chalhoub, 38, in sleek black swim trunks. The images, published by outlets like TMZ and Page Six, showed them holding hands, splashing playfully, and sharing a passionate kiss in the ocean. The chemistry was undeniable, marking their first public appearance as a couple and seemingly confirming rumors that had been brewing for months.
According to reports, Cabello and Chalhoub were first linked in November 2024 at an Elie Saab afterparty in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where Cabello performed at a fashion show alongside stars like Jennifer Lopez and Celine Dion. Sources claimed the pair were “all over each other” at the event, igniting speculation about a budding romance. While neither Cabello nor Chalhoub has officially confirmed their relationship status, their cozy moments in St. Barts left little doubt about their connection.
Paris Fashion Week: A Front-Row Romance
The couple took their romance to new heights in March 2025, when they were spotted front row at Chanel’s Fall/Winter 2025 show during Paris Fashion Week. A TikTok video shared by Gala captured Cabello and Chalhoub holding hands, with Chalhoub playfully hiding behind her shoulder when he noticed the cameras. Cabello, dressed in a stylish dark gray plaid suit with fringe accents, looked radiant, while Chalhoub complemented her in a heather gray jacket and trousers. Their sweet interaction was a highlight of the event, with fans and media buzzing about their chemistry.

Cabello shared glimpses of her Paris trip on Instagram, showcasing her time with Chanel but keeping photos of Chalhoub private, suggesting she’s maintaining some discretion about their relationship. This public yet reserved approach aligns with Cabello’s past statements about her love life. In a 2017 interview with Latina, she expressed a desire to keep the most important parts of her romantic life out of the spotlight, saying, “I don’t want to give people that piece of me because it is the most important part.” Despite this, the couple’s PDA has made it clear they’re not shying away from showing affection in public.
Sizzling in Ibiza: A Summer of Love
By July 2025, Cabello and Chalhoub were spotted heating things up in Ibiza, Spain. Photos published by the Daily Mail showed the couple kissing passionately on a wooden dock and in the water, unable to keep their hands off each other. Cabello stunned in a tiny black push-up bikini, accessorized with a gold cross necklace and hoop earrings, while Chalhoub rocked dark green-and-black camouflage swim shorts. The images captured a carefree, love-struck moment, with Cabello’s radiant smile signaling her happiness.
This Ibiza getaway followed another high-profile outing in Monaco, where the couple attended the Formula 1 races. Their jet-setting lifestyle highlights Chalhoub’s wealth and influence, as he is an heir to the Chalhoub Group, a Dubai-based luxury fashion distribution company founded by his family in 1955. The company, which works with brands like Versace, Jimmy Choo, and LVMH-owned labels, has made the Chalhoub family a powerhouse in the Middle East’s luxury market, with an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion, according to Forbes.
Who Is Henry Junior Chalhoub?
Henry Junior Chalhoub, 38, is a Lebanese businessman with a low-key online presence despite his high-profile family ties. The Chalhoub Group, established by his late father, Michel Chalhoub, is a leading player in the luxury retail sector, managing over 300 international brands and eight owned brands in the Middle East. Recognized in Forbes’ Top 100 Family Businesses in 2023, the company’s success has afforded Chalhoub a life of privilege, allowing him to travel effortlessly between continents—a factor that may ease the long-distance challenges of his relationship with Cabello, who splits her time between Los Angeles and Miami.
Before dating Cabello, Chalhoub was briefly linked to supermodel Joan Smalls in 2020 and 2021, spotted together in St. Tropez and Portofino. However, his relationship with Cabello appears to be his most public romance to date. Described as charming and sociable, Chalhoub is known for throwing lavish parties, with one X user recalling attending an extravagant event at his Dubai “party house” during high school. Despite his wealth, sources suggest he maintains a relatively grounded demeanor, which may align with Cabello’s down-to-earth personality.
Camila’s Dating History: A Look Back
Cabello’s romance with Chalhoub follows a series of high-profile relationships. Her most notable was with Canadian singer Shawn Mendes, whom she dated from 2019 to 2021. The pair, known for their steamy collaboration “Señorita,” briefly rekindled their romance in 2023, spotted kissing at Coachella and attending the Copa America Final in July 2024. However, Cabello confirmed on the Call Her Daddy podcast in March 2024 that their second attempt didn’t work out, citing a lack of chemistry. She spoke fondly of Mendes, saying, “I will always care about him and love him. He’s such a good person.”
Before Mendes, Cabello dated dating coach Matthew Hussey from 2018 to 2019, describing their first intimate moment as “beautiful” in a 2024 interview. She was also linked to Lox Club CEO Austin Kevitch from August 2022 to February 2023 and briefly to singer Austin Mahone in 2013–2014. Rumors also swirled about a possible fling with Drake in December 2023, when they were spotted jet-skiing in Turks and Caicos. Cabello clarified on Call Her Daddy that it was a “friends trip” with some work involved, praising Drake’s kindness but not confirming a romance.
A New Chapter for Camila
As Cabello embarks on her second headlining tour, the Yours, C Tour, to promote her fourth studio album, C,XOXO, her relationship with Chalhoub adds a new layer to her public persona. The tour, kicking off in Marbella, Spain, on June 21, 2025, and spanning Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America, reflects her desire for “incredible experiences” over a life confined to press and red carpets. Her romance with Chalhoub, filled with luxurious getaways and glamorous events, seems to align with this vision.
Fans have mixed reactions to the relationship, with some speculating on X about the dynamics of dating a billionaire, citing concerns about potential toxicity based on others’ experiences with wealthy partners. However, Cabello’s radiant happiness in photos suggests she’s enjoying this chapter. Whether this romance is a fleeting summer fling or a lasting love, one thing is clear: Camila Cabello is living her “dream life” with Henry Junior Chalhoub by her side, and their European adventures are just the beginning.
