Who is Henry Junior Calhoub? Camilla Cabello spotted with billionaire boyfriend following viral Katy Perry roast

Camila Cabello, 28, stirred the pot once more when she showed up at the 2025 Monaco E-Prix with her billionaire boyfriend, Henry Junior Chalhoub. This came after her playful jab at Katy Perry’s spaceflight tour advertisement went viral. But who is the man pacing the headlines along the pop star?

Allegedly, Junior Chalhoub is a businessman worth $1.7 billion with a luxurious lifestyle. The 38-year-old Lebanese is the son of the Schulb Group, a luxury fashion distribution company located in Dubai that collaborates with high-end names such as Versace, Jimmy Choo, and other LVMH brands. Even with his top-notch positioning and family assets, Chalhoub didn’t draw attention until recently.

Relationship timeline: from Fashion Week to Formula 1

Chalhoub and Cabello, with the latter being 28, were said to be in a romantic relationship for the first time when he was spotted with her in November 2024 at an Elie Saab afterparty in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where Cabello performed. This only gave rise to speculations of a romance.

Their speculations turned into seemingly concrete proof after the gossip account DeuxMoi, although widely known for providing unverified content, claimed Chalhoub to be the “mystery man” spotted with Cabello in Ibiza in August 2024.

The couple was first spotted in public together in January 2025 when they were caught on camera showering one another with affection in St. Barts during a vacation, which was reported by TMZ, thus validating their relationship. This was immediately followed by several subsequent sightings of Paris, where they watched Cabello perform in the trenches of the Chanel FW 2025 show she headlined later in March.

This included:

• Pre-Bafta party in London on 15th Feb
• Strolling in Rome, where love-struck lovers were caught kissing.
• Finally, Monaco for the 2025 E-Prix on May 4, where they were photographed strutting hand in hand in matching black clothes.

In attending the Chanel show, Chalhoub was captured in a neutral candid position in which he put his face in Cabello’s shoulder, bordering on appearing to be stage hiding from Chapello’s face after noticing a fan monetizing them.

A romance amid playful pop star drama

Her relationship drama surfaced just as she teasingly scolded Katy Perry for self-advertising her upcoming tour from space. On April 14, Perry traveled to space with Blue Origin, and during the flight, she shared snippets of her suspected setlist.

Not long after that, Cabello hopped on TikTok with a poster of the tour as if she were simulating zero gravity. The caption read:

“Didn’t have the budget to fly to space to promote my tour dates so I made this TikTok instead.” — @CamilaCabello on TikTok, April 2025

Cabello ended the caption with a lighthearted:

“@Katy Perry hehehe ily.”

Though some people tried to navigate the whole ordeal as a feud, most viewers chose to see it as a healthy competition, specifically due to Cabello’s “I love you” sign-off.

Camila’s focus: love, music, and boundaries

Cabello has highlighted the need to keep certain aspects of her personal life private, even with her public career. She elaborated in a Latina Magazine interview:

“I get why people are interested in my love life, but I don't want to give people that piece of me because it is the most important part." — Camila Cabello, Latina Magazine

In another interview with the same magazine, she noted:

“I want to make songs and have incredible experiences with people. I don't want to be locked up in a hotel room and just do press and red carpets. That's not the kind of life I want to live.”

Now, Cabello is getting ready for her first headlining tour in over seven years, “Yours, C Tour,” for her upcoming fourth studio album C, XOXO. The tour will begin on June 21 in Marbella, Spain, and will move to Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America before wrapping up in São Paulo, Brazil, on September 14.

Final thoughts

Fierce and private is the combination that makes Camila Cabello, as she launches a new album and goes on a global tour, all while simultaneously sparking romance with one of the Middle Eastern billionaires.

To some degree, Henry Junior Chalhoub has remained in the shadows and concealed, but his owl-like guarding of the singer indicates he is becoming part of the spectacle.
