Shawn Mendes is done with it: “Relationship is not a PR stunt”

For months, rumors have circulated that the “relationship” of Shawn Mendes (21) and Camila Cabello (22) is a puppet show. Since the release of their hit single Señorita, the two have been walking hand in hand across the street and even singing on Instagram. Yet the singer insists that it is about real love.

“It is certainly not a publicity stunt”

Paparazzi follow Shawn and Camila closely since the two show a lot of public affection. The couple released the song Señorita together and have since been spotted together almost daily. The couple walks hand in hand and kisses. But angry tongues claim that it’s all about a PR stunt, so that their single does better in the hit list. Nothing of that is true, says Shawn.

TMZ made a movie of Shawn when he arrived at an airplane. Hereby they asked about the uncomfortable video clip that he posted on Instagram, on which he kisses with his girlfriend very separately. “That was a joke,” he says about the video. But when he is confronted with the question whether it is a fake relationship, he wants it to be clear once and for all: “It is certainly not a publicity stunt.” Despite this denial, one of the two has never explicitly admitted that they have a relationship.
