Cabello, who shot to fame in 2012 as part of the pop group Fifth Harmony before forging a solo career, is yet to comment on her blossoming relationship. Chalhoub, 39, for his part, is the heir to his family's lucrative Dubai-based luxury fashion distribution company Chalhoub Group. The company was listed on Forbes' Top 100 Arab Family Businesses list in 2023, with Chalhoub's grandfather Michel reported to be worth $US1.7 billion as of 2019. Cabello and Chalhoub have been dating since at least November. Picture: BACKGRID Cabello and Chalhoub were first romantically linked late last year when they were seen getting cozy at an Elie Saab fashion show afterparty in Saudi Arabia. The Latin Grammy award winner's last major romance was with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Canadian pop singer Shawn Mendes. Cabello and Mendes began dating in July 2019 until their split in November 2021. Cabello was previously in a high-profile relationship with Shawn Mendes. Picture:They later sparked reconciliation rumours in April 2023 when they were photographed kissing at the Coachella music festival. However, Cabello sat down with Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast in March last year, declaring their reunion 'didn't feel right.' 'I'm kind of impulsive in that way, I would say. If I feel it, I say it and I'm not really good at not doing that,' Cabello said at the time. 'I would rather say it and see what happens, and then wake up the next day and see that it's been heavily documented. I opted for that route. It is what it is. It was a great route, it was a fun time. It was a fun moment. 'I will always care about him and love him. He's such a good person and I'm lucky because some people have exes that are awful, and he is not. He's a really kind, good person.'

Garifuna singer Tavo Man hails Grammy nomination as historic first
When the Honduran musician Gustavo Castillo, stage name Tavo Man, was nominated for a Latin Grammy, it was seen as a triumph for Garifuna people around the world. It was the first time a Garifuna song was recognised in the prestigious awards, and was considered a milestone in the fight to preserve and popularise the culture. Having his Garifuna song, Hun Hara, which celebrated the values of kindness and gratitude, recognised by the Grammys was important in telling the story of his ancestors, said Castillo, 31. The Garifuna, descendants of enslaved Africans and Indigenous Kalinagos, are indigenous to the Caribbean island of St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG), but their diaspora has spread across the Americas. 'It was only the first round of the Grammies, but it meant a lot to me, because I'm the first Garifuna artist to achieve this; it was like a dream coming true,' he said. He added: 'I remember when I sent the request to the Latin Grammy. I was a little nervous about it because I was the first one to cross that line … I was not expecting anything to come from it. So when they answered me and they told me to send my biography, it was like, wow.' The Garifuna came into the spotlight in March when SVG's prime minister, Ralph Gonsalves, purchased Baliceaux, a private, uninhabited island in the country's archipelago where thousands of Garifuna perished after they were stranded there by the British in 1796 in miserable conditions. Regarded as sacred by the Garifuna, the SVG government announced plans to designate Baliceaux a heritage site for Garifuna who still live in Honduras, Belize and the other regions to which their ancestors were exiled by the British, centuries ago. Castillo's recent release Ítarala – 'Amen' – is rooted in a traditional Garifuna hymn that explores humanity's spiritual connection to its supreme creator. He wants his music to revive Garifuna music and language, which have been recognised by Unesco on its register of intangible cultural heritage. Castillo said he remembers his grandmother singing the hymn to him. 'My mum used to work, so I used to spend more time with my grandmother. She was 100% Garifuna, and she taught me about respect and about the culture.' He added that since the age of 13, he had felt compelled by his ancestors to be a voice for the Garifuna people. 'They need someone to talk about the history of the things that are happening in the community today; to remind us that we are warriors, survivors, and that to deal with today's challenges, we need to act together like our ancestors did.' Castillo said he persevered with his music, even when his parents disapproved, concerned that it was not a lucrative career option. 'I'm the first in my family to start doing music and making art. So it was a little bit complicated for me. For them, they saw my dreams as something to do just for a couple of years, not for my whole life. They didn't realise I could get something, or make a living from this.' Castillo credits his manager, Miguel Álvarez, who is also Garifuna, for keeping him focused and avoiding trouble on the streets of Honduras. Princess Eulogia Gordon, a Californian publicist who strongly identifies with her Garifuna heritage, compared Tavo Man to other greats of Caribbean music. 'I remember growing up in the US and hearing Bob Marley on the radio, and then people coming out with Carib Beats and Afro Beats. We had Beenie Man and Sean Paul, and Rihanna, and I was saying, 'Oh my gosh, we are getting more and more of our flavours coming to the mainstream.' 'But, none of the Garifuna late greats like Paul Nabor, Andy Palacio and Aurelio Martínez were on the radio, and here we are in 2025 and they are still not getting that respect and that access to the mainstream,' she said. Gordon said she felt an instant connection to Man's rendition of Ítarala. 'I feel like it was divinely and spiritually brought to me so I could work with it, and ensure that it gets pushed out into the community and beyond. The ancient story of the Garifuna is woven into this music, but there is also a contemporary rhythm that engages children and young people who have lost the desire to be Garifuna. This song gives us permission to be Garifuna.'

A Latin superstar just crashed a Zumba class at a gym in a Kendall strip mall
A few folks who decided to get off the couch and exercise in the Miami 'burbs got quite the payoff Monday evening. That's because Latin pop superstar Prince Royce decided to crash a Zumba class at Eos Fitness at the Town and Country mall. The 'Incondicional' singer didn't just make an appearance, he took over teaching duties, to a few of his latest songs, including 'Dancing in the Moonlight.' The Latin Grammy winner, 36, also chatted with attendees and took selfies. In video seen on Only in Dade's Instagram, Royce is at the front of the room swaying to the beat and clapping his hands along with the beyond-enthusiastic participants. So what was Prince Royce doing at a strip mall gym in Kendall on the first day of the workweek? The Bronx native, who released the album 'Eterno' in May, isn't just a workout buff. He's jumping on a trend of top Latin artists making cameos at Zumba classes to get their music out to a larger audience. 'We love working with artists to celebrate their newest song releases, and Zumba is a fun and unique platform,' said Rebecca Dorfman, VP of consumer marketing of the dance fitness company founded in Miami by Colombian dancer Beto Perez in the late '90s. Just last week, Wisin, too, surprised a class at City Zero gym Little Havana, as seen on Zumba's official Instagram page. The 46-year-old reggaetonero is seen outside telling followers, 'Let's go!' as his latest song, 'El Proceso' plays. 'The only place to feel @wisin's new track like this? A Zumba class,' says the post. 'We're turning up the heat with our latest #summeranthem — the Zumba way.'
