Camila Cabello, the former Fifth Harmony star and successful solo artist, recently shared intimate details about her first sexual experience, a topic she approached with openness and honesty. In a candid conversation on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, Cabello reflected on her first relationship at age 20 with Matthew Hussey, a relationship coach and writer.
“It was beautiful,” Cabello described, recalling her first time. She explained that her first sexual experience happened within the context of this relationship, emphasizing the emotional connection involved. “First lovemaking was at 20, 21. … It was literally lovemaking. It was beautiful.”
Cabello had been a fan of Hussey’s work, listening to his dating advice podcast before they even met. Their relationship, though lasting just over a year (2018-2019), was a significant experience for her. She spoke fondly of Hussey, calling him “a really great person” and describing their time together as “the perfect first relationship.” She also expressed happiness for his subsequent marriage.
She highlighted how he broadened her horizons, introducing her to things outside of the music industry, like Anthony Bourdain and Studio Ghibli films. Hussey has also spoken positively about Cabello in the past, calling her “an incredible human being.”
Cabello’s openness about her personal life has elicited a mixed response from the public. While some appreciate her candidness and relate to her experience, others feel such intimate details are unnecessary to share publicly. Social media has been abuzz with reactions, ranging from support to criticism. Some feel that she needs to be more private about her personal life, while others defend her right to express herself openly.
Cabello’s dating history has been a topic of public interest for years. Prior to Hussey, she was linked to Austin Mahone in 2014, during a time when Fifth Harmony was opening for him on tour. While the reasons for their split remain private, they appear to be on good terms. Cabello’s willingness to share her experiences, both positive and challenging, has made her a relatable figure for many young women navigating the complexities of love and relationships.
