Shawn Mendes Confirms Bruna Marquezine Romance With PDA-Filled Outing

There’s nothing holding Shawn Mendes back from his new romance.

Shawn Mendes was seen happily embracing actress Bruna Marquezine while grocery shopping in Los Angeles on January 7th.

Photos from their outing show Shawn and Bruna looking relaxed and comfortable in jeans and sweaters. They were seen hugging a lot, and in one picture, Shawn, 27, is embracing Bruna, 30, from the front, resting his head on her shoulder with his eyes closed. Another photo shows him wrapping his arms around her from behind.

Singer Becky G and actress Xolo Maridueña, who previously had an on-again, off-again relationship with soccer player Neymar between 2013 and 2018, were first linked romantically last month. They were seen on vacation together in Brazil, which marked Maridueña’s first public relationship since being rumored to date Charlie Travers from Big Brother UK in 2023.

After his two-year relationship with Camila Cabello ended in 2021—though they briefly got back together in 2023—Shawn Mendes has generally kept his personal life out of the public eye. However, in November 2024, he responded to rumors about his sexuality while performing his song “The Mountain,” which explores the same subject.

He explained that growing up, he missed out on typical teenage experiences and self-discovery. He also touched on the ongoing discussion about his sexuality, saying he finds it a bit ridiculous to try and define something so personal and intricate with simple labels. He believes sexuality is a complex and beautiful part of who we are, and shouldn’t be easily categorized.

Shawn confessed that, despite feeling like a private matter was being invaded, he was now prepared to talk openly about it.

He explained that he’s still exploring his identity and sexuality, just like many people. He admitted to feeling uncertain at times, and expressed that it can be frightening to navigate these personal discoveries in a world with strong opinions on the subject.

Shawn shared that he’s working on accepting his emotions and allowing himself to feel like a normal person. He doesn’t want to discuss it further at this time.

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello first gained attention in 2015, not as a romantic pair, but as collaborators on their popular song, “I Know What You Did Last Summer.”

In June, the music video for the artists’ hit duet, “Señorita,” sparked rumors of a real-life romance between them, four years after they first began working together.

The next month, they were seen holding hands while out in West Hollywood, and people were told they were a couple, according to TopMob News. Shortly after, the two were spotted being affectionate with each other in San Francisco.

Although they hadn’t officially announced they were dating, this passionate kiss in Miami made it clear they were a couple.

Shawn Mendes admitted that he and Camila Cabello have occasional disagreements. He shared on SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up that they sometimes have heated arguments, but they’re usually good at recognizing when their pride is getting in the way.
