Following her high profile break up with singer Shawn Mendes, “Havana” songstress Camila Cabello has been papped with a new man at her arm – Austin Kevitch.
Interestingly, Kevitch bears a striking resemblance to Shawn Mendes.
Austin Scott Kevitch was born on July 5, 1991 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Andrew and Lisa Kevitch. He has a sister, Lindsey (28), and a brother, Tristan (24).
In high school, Kevitch excelled in sports including football, basketball and athletics (track and field) at Germantown Academy.
In May 2010, Kevitch was selected as one of the USA’s top high school football players to play for the National Football Team, during which time he played against France’s national team in the “Global Bowl France” event.
The same year, Kevitch embarked on a university degree at Brucknell University, a private establishment in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.

Given his physique, Kevitch played Cornerback from the university’s Bucknell Bison team.
During his course, the young man studied Business Management, Computer Engineering and Psychology, with a year spent studying Psychology at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, in 2013.
During his time at university, Kevitch debuted his professional career, working as a product designer at Schooly, a software company helping students win scholarships.
After leaving Scholly in 2013, Kevitch co-founded software development company Brighten – a social app that let users send anonymous compliments to friends.
Kevitch explained that Brighten was born out of a tragedy, when he lost one of his friends in a climbing incident.
People were sharing happy memories of his friend on social media but Kevitch realised that, in life, “we rarely tell our friends how much they mean to us. Instead, we wait until they’re gone”.
After over six years as the CEO of Brighten, Kevitch co-founded dating app Lox Club in March 2020.
His net worth is estimated at $5 million.
In papped photos taken Wednesday June 15, Camilla Cabello seems to have moved on from her break-up with Shawn Mendes after a two-year relationship.
The singer is rumoured to be dating Kevitch after she was photographed smiling during an evening stroll with the dating app founder on Wednesday night.
In the photos obtained by Page Six, the duo are seen laughing and looking relaxed as they spent the night out together.
While there were so signs of PDA between the pair, they are following each other on Instagram.
Camilla and Kevitch’s reps are yet to comment.
In February 2022, Kevitch confirmed he was single but looking to date, telling Bustle:
“I definitely want a girlfriend, but also being single helps with running Lox Club because I know all the pain points that single people feel and I know exactly what I would want in an app.”
“I think once I’m living “happily ever after” with someone running off into the sunset, I won’t be as in touch with all the annoying things about dating.”
Kevitch launched the Lox Club members-only exclusive dating app over the pandemic, after going through a bad breakup, during which time his Jewish family were badgering him to find someone.
“I was at the age where my grandma would joke, ‘When are you going to bring home a nice Jewish girl?’”
“I don’t like dating apps; they’re very inorganic and awkward,” Kevitch said. “So I wanted to make a more fun, immersive experience where maybe you’ll meet people as a by-product and not take it so seriously.”

The app is designed for “Jews and non-Jews with ridiculously high standards.”
The app’s success has attracted investments from a number of personalities including Atlanta rapper Lil Yachty and rapper Bhad Bhabie, famous for her “Cash me ousside” phrase.
