The relationship left a sour note in her life, so much so that Camila had enough of dating someone from the industry. In an interview with Nylon, she stated that she would never ever couple again with someone from the industry:
"It’s just dating people in the industry is tough. I did for a little bit. It’s hard when that’s your world. You only meet people through work and that can be really tough, because you’re not necessarily meeting people that you’re similar to. It’s just people that you’re with because you’re working on the same project.
She particularly indicated her dislike in actors, stating:
I realize that I don’t think I like actors. Actors are really emotionally complicated. You would think they would be more in tune with their emotions, but sometimes they’re just not. I just really need to get out of this industry with someone who is in a stable environment.”
Sticking to her words, she next dated someone out of the showbiz.
Two years after her breakup with Wallace, she found love again with her childhood friend from Florida, Victor Houston. The pair reunited in New York after several years and started dating each other.

Camila, on her part, forgave her newest boyfriend for his naivety. Commenting on the Twitters shaming, she issued a passionate defense of Charles saying;
I know he's not actually a bad person. I think it's a matter of sometimes you tweet things forever ago and they get buried in there and they come out and it sucks. And I don't agree with anything he said or support those statements, but I know that's not who he is
Despite an ugly start, the duo's relationship is now veering in plain waters. Having dated men from both in and out the industry, it feels like Camila has finally found her Mr. Perfect!
