Camila Cabello Just Declared Her Love for Shawn Mendes, and People Are Freaking Out
The summer of Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes rages on—and now there’s a new twist to their alleged relationship. After the release of their duet “Senorita” and the accompanying super-sexy video, rumors started flying that the two were actually dating in real life. The chemistry between the two onscreen was undeniable, but then Cabello was spotted at two of Mendes’ concerts. Not long after, they were spotted kissing and holding hands .
Though some cynics wondered if this all wasn’t some sort of publicity play, it looks like Cabello is taking the relationship to the next level. On Friday, she publicly declared her love for Mendes on—where else?—Instagram. “Happy birthday to this magic human, I love you!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️,” she wrote, in honor of Mendes’ 21st birthday on August 8.
This isn’t the first time Cabello has spoken publicly about Mendes, though neither party has fully confirmed their relationship. “I’ve known Shawn for such a long time, and it’s so much fun getting to work and do things with somebody who means a lot to you,” she told Variety.
In the same interview, she talked about falling in love—though she didn’t mention Mendes specifically. “Falling in love is like an infinite amount of levels and layers and angles. I fell in love and just opened up. Everything was written in present moment,” Cabello said.
