Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello dating rumors started when the pair released a sultry single together “Señorita” with a sexy music video to match. Their chemistry was undeniable, they looked good together, and they were both single. So, why not?

Despite not saying anything regarding their relationship status, all the Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello dating rumors never stopped. Speculations became even stronger when the singers were spotted looking a lot like lovers during their off-cam outings.

Now, it seems that shippers were right all along regarding the Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello dating rumors. The 21-year-old singer, songwriter, and model just confirmed that he’s dating the former Fifth Harmony member.

When a fan asked Shawn Mendes via a video on Twitter, “You’ve said you’ve never been in love. Has that changed recently?” The singer replied, “Honestly, I wanna say I wanna talk to you guys about this stuff, but it’s not just me in the relationship. There’s another person involved and I can’t say things that I feel. It’s not just me deciding you know?”

Although he didn’t mention any names, it is quite clear who he meant, especially with all those Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello dating rumors floating on the internet. While it seems that he’s ready to tell the world that his heart is taken, Shawn showed immense respect to Camila Cabello by not saying her name until she’s ready to tell the status of their relationship as well.

However, Camila already dropped the “L” word to Shawn Mendes back in August when she greeted him on his birthday. The 22-year-old singer and songwriter posted a throwback photo of them and wrote, "Happy birthday to this magic human, I love you!!!!"

But the Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello dating rumors didn’t start that time when she posted it as it is very common to tell a friend those three words. So it is safe to say that they were both just good pals at the time, but things are a lot different at the moment.

At first, many thought that their PDA-fill outings and an overly close friendship were all part of the plant to promote their single. But Shawn Mendes’ very sincere reply to a fan’s query seems to confirm that their relationship is real.

Meanwhile, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello displayed their very close relationship during the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards. The pair couldn’t get their hands off each other while they watch the whole show. And who could forget their sizzling hot live performance of “Señorita” at the event? (Watch here).
