The source close to the couple told a media out that there was no big event that caused the split. Instead, it was a result of their relationship becoming "stale and complacent."

The insider added that Canello was initially was "very upset" but "agreed" that it was an appropriate move. 

The first few days after the two singers broke it off were "really hard" for Cabello but she's been "keeping busy," the source said.
