Childhood and family

Camila Cabello (Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao) was born on March 3, 1997, in the picturesque town of Kokhimar, Cuba. This is where Ernest Hemingway, who lived on his estate in a Havana suburb from 1949 to 1952, often went fishing, and where he met Gregorio Fuentes, the local fisherman who became his friend and inspired the main character in The Old Man and the Sea, the novel that won Hemingway the Pulitzer Prize.

Born Karla Camila, her parents were Mexican businessman Alejandro Cabello and Cuban architect Sinuhe Estrabao. During her early years, the family split their time between two countries. When Camila turned 5, the family stopped moving between Cuba and Mexico and settled permanently in Miami.

The family stayed with friends for two years while getting on their feet. Sinuhe worked at the shoe store Marshalls, and Alejandro at a car wash. In the evenings, her parents attended English classes while Camila picked up the language by watching TV shows and talking with classmates.

The second daughter of Alejandro and Sinuhe, Sofia, was born already in Miami when Camila went to Palmetto Elementary School.

Camila's musical abilities manifested themselves early, but she began to practice singing at the age of 12 when her parents were able to pay for her tuition.

Career. Fifth Harmony

In 2012, Camila left school and headed to North Carolina to audition for The X Factor. She was barely 15 but already confident about her life's direction. Later she graduated from high school as an external student.

On the show, she sang Aretha Franklin's song, but her performance wasn't aired due to a ridiculous mistake by show staff who failed to secure the rights to "Respect."

The judges tried to make things right and invited Camila to join a girl group, where Lauren Jauregui, Dinah Jane, Ally Brooke, and Normani Cordey were also invited. The group finished third in the competition. In the "Duet with a Star" episode, they got to perform with judge Demi Lovato.

After the show ended, Fifth Harmony signed with Syco Music and released the EP Better Together in 2013. Throughout the year, the group toured American cities and opened for Demi Lovato during her Neon Lights Tour.

In 2015, their full-length album Reflection was released, earning Gold certification and charting on the Billboard 200. That same year, they performed at the White House's annual Easter concert and opened the MTV Europe Music Awards, and at the end of the year, Camila announced her intention to leave the group to take up a solo career seriously.

Solo career

In fall 2015, the collaboration I Know What You Did Last Summer featuring Camila and Canadian star Shawn Mendes was released. The song marked the rise of a new star and topped the charts in America and Canada.

Camila Cabello personal life

The young star has been linked to Austin Harris and Michael Clifford at different times, though as the singer herself stated, these relationships were very innocent and friendly, never developing into anything more serious.

In early 2018, Camila began dating Matthew Hussey, a British psychologist and relationship coach who authored the 2013 bestseller on how any girl can land her dream guy. Matthew is almost ten years older than the singer, but this doesn't faze Camila, who says she's always been drawn to mature, accomplished men.

Camila has said she considers Madonna her inspiration, and Prince a style icon.
The Cuban girl's favorite designer is the rebel, Vivienne Westwood. It was her dress that Camila chose for the Grammy ceremony, complementing the image with a diamond bag, worth almost 180 thousand dollars.
