The former flames were recently spotted together in July at a soccer tournament in Miami, Fla., but it's unclear where they stand, as the "Havana" songstress, 27, posted a cryptic message via social media afterward.
“Going thru it lately ❤️🩹,” the starlet began. "Feels like sometimes there is heartache everywhere I look, within me and around me.”
“And I try my best to show up for my friends, my fans and the people that show up for me,” Cabello’s message continued. “But it’s hard to pour from what feels like an empty cup. If I am a part of your life and I disappear sometimes, that’s probably why. So brb while I get some bandages and warm honey and stitches for this head and heart. You know I’ll be back from my trips to h--- hotter funnier and smarter ;))) field notes: 27 is messy, gilded."

So to be here right now with 12 beautiful finished songs feels like such a gift. Honestly thank god for my friends and family. Life can be brutal but having a small group of people you deeply trust to walk you through makes it so much better," he shared via Instagram. "I have no idea how I would have made it through the last couple years let alone make an album without you. Scott, Mike, Eddie, Alex, Andrew, Ziggy, Sylvie, Rachel, Brian, Prash, Sarah, Meghan, Connor, tony, Aaliyah, mum, dad, Jocelyne, H.O.M, Matty, MR Vetro. All of my Friends and Family, thank you for loving on me so hard ♥️And to you guys who have been so unbelievably supportive and patient and loving thank you from the bottom of my heart. I really hope you love this album, I do. I really really do."
