Camila Cabello noticeably embraced a fitness journey since she and Shawn Mendes broke up, multiple news outlets noted.

Cabello and Mendes called it quits in November 2021 after years of dating, though they clarified they remain best friends after their split. The ex-couple, however, reportedly reconnected for six weeks this year before breaking up for good.

Aside from their relationship status, Cabello's post-breakup revenge body also scored attention from fans.

How Did Camila Cabello Lose Weight?

Over the past few months, reports about Cabello's weight loss dominated the internet as fans said it started after her breakup with Shawn Mendes.

An insider recently revealed that, though fans have been calling it a revenge body, the 26-year-old singer does not want to call it that way.

"She's not calling it her revenge body - she says it was just a coincidence - but after her second breakup with Shawn, she upped her workout routines and changed her diet," a source told InTouch Weekly exclusively. "She avoided meat and fried food and stuck to fruits and veggies, and it paid off."

Although the "Havana" hitmaker shocked fans with her incredible body transformation, the unnamed insider said the singer remains comfortable with her curves and only focuses on self-worth.

Cabello's weight loss journey started before she and Mendes sparked dating rumors again this year after the duo were spotted getting intimate and publicly kissing at the Coachella Festival. After six weeks, however, People reported that the female crooner was single again and started seeing someone else.

The "Don't Go Yet" first surprised her fans when she posted Instagram photos that she took when she went to an art exhibit at El Espacio 23 in Miami. One of the photos in the carousel featured the singer showing off her abs which was highlighted by her Alo Corset Bra Tank.

Camila Cabello Supports Body Positivity

Even without the transformation, Cabello has been a long advocate of body positivity as she, herself, has also been a victim of body shaming.

In one incident, she shared a lengthy message on Instagram about her struggles with body image after suffering from a painful experience with a paparazzi.

"Intellectually, I know what I look like doesn't determine how healthy, happy, or sexy I am," she said. "Emotionally, the messaging I get from our world is loud in my own head. Ironically, all the therapy, all the inner work is to try and get back to feeling like seven-year-old me on the beach. I'm mourning her today."
