Camila Cabello is not pregnant and online rumors about her being pregnant have absolutely no element of truth in them. She put on a lot of weight in 2021 while vacationing in Italy with her family and while the reasons for that have not been expressly made clear, it gave rise to rumors that she had taken in.
Camila Cabello’s rise to fame began when she appeared as a member of the girl group Fifth Harmony in the 2012 edition of X-Factor. After a while, she decided it was time to venture out on her own as a solo artist and has since released three studio albums – Camila, Romance, and most recently Familia (released on April 18, 2022).
It’s no surprise then, that like virtually every celebrity we know, every detail of her life has been in the spotlight and being speculated over. The recent pregnancy rumors and weight gain are the recent things she has had to deal with.
Camila Cabello Is Not Pregnant
Contrary to the online rumors and suggested evidence that Camila Cabello is pregnant, the singer is anything but. The speculation about her expecting a child began when a picture of the singer and her mother on a hiking trip surfaced on July 9, 2021.
The singer has always been known to have a slim, toned physique, but looking at the picture, fans and detractors alike noticed that she looked bigger. Her weight gain was too obvious to miss owing to the fact that her belly was protruding from the crop top she was wearing.
Without waiting for confirmation from Camila or her agents, several people took to social media to congratulate her and her then-boyfriend, Shawn Mendes, with one particular user expressing how pleasant it would be to get a little Shawn Mendes.
In truth, 2021 was not the first time speculations about the singer being pregnant had surfaced online. In 2018, the same rumors also made the rounds after people noticed how big her belly had gotten since the last time they saw her.
On that occasion, she had clapped back with the response that she had been on tour, and in the process, she had eaten a lot of delicious American foods and that people should leave her belly alone.
The second time though, her response to the pregnancy rumors was less confrontational. It featured words of appreciation to her fans who had gone out of their way to defend her body change because when it was eventually revealed that she was not pregnant, quite a number of Camila’s detractors took to social media to body shame her.
Her words of gratitude would have sounded like music to the ears of a particular fan who specifically warned the detractors to lay off the singer and slammed them for being so obsessed with unrealistic beauty standards that they have no idea how a normal body looks anymore.
Another fan who must have felt the warmth of Camila’s gratitude stated that the idea of the singer being pregnant must have originated from some people who have failed to realize that bellies are made to be soft and squishy. The fan went on to encourage the singer to be proud of herself for having the courage to expose hers and applauded her confidence while doing so.
Camila Cabello’s Size Has Changed Much
Several sources indicate a significant increase in the size of Camila Cabello’s body. The contrasting numbers in the weight of the entertainer indicated that she has significantly increased in size. Previous reports on her weight showed that she once weighed 56 kg and even less. However, a January 2022 article indicated that she weighed around 67 kg.
As is expected, the increase in her weight has resulted in increase in her dress size from 6 (US) that she has always worn since she became a celebrity to size 10 or thereabout.
Since the end of the pandemic, Camila’s weight gain has been noticeable and the recent pictures of her vacationing in Italy with friends and family drew a fresh round of harsh criticisms.
Having ended her relationship with Shawn Mendes, some of her critics alluded to the fact that her weight gain was due to the fact that she was single. Another simply told her to lose weight, adding that she was too fat now, while another simply told her that her fat body was not normal and that everyone supposedly knew that.
While she never particularly responded to those critics, her previous responses to the matter in that regard told everyone exactly what she thought of those criticizing her. Her vulnerabilities on the matter were revealed in previous statements about her being upset.
The Singer Has Had Inconsistencies With Her Weight
At 5 feet 2 inches (157 cm) tall, Camila Cabello has managed to barely stay within the ideal weight limit for someone of her height. Before the noticeable changes in her physique, she has weighed 48 kg, 50 kg, 54 kg, and 56 kg. Several sources have indicated that 44 kg is the barest minimum a 5 feet 2 inches woman should weigh while 55 kg is the most a woman of the same height should weigh.
Anything beyond 55 kg is considered overweight and the singer is well aware of the numbers. The numbers, therefore, indicate that Camila Cabello is many kilograms above the ideal weight of a woman of her height. Her knowledge of the aforementioned facts has inspired her to engage in regular exercise routines to stay in shape.
Her picture which made the rounds on July 9, 2021, showed her on a hiking activity with her mother. That at least showed that she was making an effort to bring her weight under control. The TikTok video she made to debunk the pregnancy rumors and silence those body-shaming her featured her in running clothes.
In April 2022, Camila revealed that her weight was going to go up and down because she was not interested in adhering to the prevailing but crazy beauty standards of this generation. A May 2022 article on eatthis.com gave an insight into the singer’s diet. Her workout schedule includes dancing and lifting weights with her personal trainer Jenna Willis.
However, the aforementioned article revealed that she does not adhere to any super strict diets, she also practices intuitive eating where she eats only what she thinks her body needs at every point in time. She also eats food that connects her to her culture in small balanced quantities. We also uncovered the fact that Camila slowly eats her meals to achieve the most from her intuitive eating.
While she may not stick to the conventional rules of dieting, it is clear that whatever the singer has been doing to get in shape has clearly worked for her as there has been a marked reduction in her weight since the vacation picture posted earlier this year.
