In the snap, Cabello was seen wearing a slightly reflective gray tank top, as well as both a floral and a chain necklace.

The Never Be The Same songwriter’s eye-catching brunette hair parted above her forehead and fell onto her backside during the intimate photoshoot.

Mendes kept it casual, as he wore a fuzzy gray zip-up sweater while planting a peck on his girlfriend’s cheek.

Cabello and the 22-year-old singer-songwriter have been in a relationship ever since July of 2019, although they had known each other for several years prior to becoming romantically linked.

The now-couple began their friendship in the mid-2010’s as they bonded over navigating the early stages of their respective musical careers.

In 2015, they debuted their collaborative single I Know What You Did Last Summer, which was eventually released on Mendes’ first studio album, Handwritten.

Over the next few years, the pair would make several public appearances together, even though Cabello was dating life coach Matthew Hussey at the time.

In 2019, the songstress ended her relationship with her former boyfriend and began spending more time with the There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back singer, although he denied that the two were romantically linked.

However, the couple was spotted kissing in July, and after a few months of trying to keep their connection out of the public eye, they went Instagram official later that year.

In December of last year, Mendes spoke to Entertainment Tonight and expressed that he and Cabello have ‘absolutely’ talked about getting engaged, as they have known each other for such a long time.

‘She’s been one of my best friends since I was, like, 15 years old…. I know we are really young so I don’t want to jump, like, insanely fast, but I think when you find your person, you feel and you know that you have found your person,’ he added.

The Treat You Better songwriter also noted that their time together often serves as the inspiration for their respective musical efforts.

‘I think we are both super sensitive which creates a lot of sensitivity in our relationship, but we are songwriters so we are constantly searching for the best topics in life,’ he noted.

On Thursday afternoon, Mendes posted a video that showed him and a group of friends getting ready to lay down a vocal track to his Instagram account.

After the camera cut out just before the beginning of the session, the songwriter brought his phone close to his face and laughed when noting that they were to be recording ‘claps and s***.’

Three more clips of the group singing together were then shown before the In My Blood singer was seen vocalizing and subsequently being congratulated by his collaborators.
