Shawn Mendes has seemingly alluded to the continued love triangle rumors surrounding Sabrina Carpenter and Camila Cabello.
The “Lost in Japan” singer, 26, took to X (previously Twitter) on Wednesday, October 2, after followers have been interested in his present relationship standing with the “Havana” pop star. Most not too long ago, Mendes appeared on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, the place he revealed that he and Cabello have “done the best job at preserving our private little fire of love for each other.”
While the on-and-off couple broke up for a second time in June 2023, that didn’t cease followers from asking Mendes immediately about his love life. “They don’t play about each other,” one person stated on X, in response to the “Stitches” singer’s podcast feedback.
“No we don’t,” Mendes wrote again.
When one other fan requested Mendes to “clarify what you meant” about his relationship with Cabello, the “In My Blood” singer took the chance to handle hypothesis concerning his previous romances with each Carpenter and Cabello.
The “Espresso” singer – who launched her sixth album, Short n’ Sweet, final August – was romantically linked to Mendes in 2023, two years after his first breakup with Cabello. In truth, many followers imagine that the Short n’ Sweet tracks “Taste,” “Sharpest Tool,” and “Coincidence” are about her temporary relationship with the Canadian singer.
The love triangle hypothesis was solely furthered when Carpenter, Cabello, and Mendes have been all in attendance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards final month. “You’re telling me Camila, Sabrina, AND Shawn are performing at the VMAs?? Diabolical,” one fan wrote on X, whereas one other individual stated: “VMAs said we will serve drama this year by choosing Sabrina, Shawn and Camila to perform.”
That’s why Mendes seemingly determined to close down the love triangle rumors by reaffirming his assist for Cabello, whether or not it's romantic or simply as associates. “I guess to be honest it came from a place of being a little annoyed with all the projection over the last few months about us,” he posted on X.
“I’m usually pretty good at just watching all the ‘noise’ go by but lately it’s been kinda bugging me,” Mendes stated. “Feeling human I guess.”
In a follow-up post, he acknowledged that “quoting a tweet” about his relationship with Cabello will “start a little spin up.” However, Mendes maintained that he “just wanted to address” the fan hypothesis in order to have “a real honest relationship” along with his followers.
“It’s pretty intimidating to come online and be honest and vulnerable considering how quickly our words can be twisted and used against us but tbh [to be honest] I really just care about having a real relationship with you guys, where I got you and you got me and all the rest is just noise,” Mendes added.
The “Treat Me Better” singer publicly confirmed his relationship with Cabello in 2019. However, the pair referred to as it quits in November 2021. He was later noticed having dinner with Carpenter in early 2023, main followers to imagine the 2 have been courting. By March that yr, Mendes denied the rumors throughout an look on the Dutch TV present RTL Boulevard, saying: “We are not dating.”
Mendes and Cabello have been then noticed kissing at Coachella in April 2023, sparking rumors that they'd rekindled their romance. However, the previous couple ended issues for good simply two months later.
