The rumors went into overdrive when the pair dropped the steamy music video for their second collaborative single Senorita in June of 2019.
The music video captured several ultra romantic moments between the supposed ‘friends,’ including one scene that saw Shawn rip off his shirt as he sang just inches away from Camila’s face.
Though the pair would officially confirm their romance in August, Camila and Shawn were photographed kissing on a number of occasions in the weeks leading up to the confirmation.
Instead of satiating fans’ years-long desire for them to get together, Shawn and Camila were almost instantly met with skepticism over the authenticity of their budding romance.

Shawn attempted to quash the rumors by stressing to TMZ in September 2019 that his romance with Camila was ‘definitely not a PR stunt’ and very real.
Though the speculation never let up, Camila and Shawn seemingly made peace with the negativity by not letting it stop them from flaunting their love for one another on social media.
They shared some of their most intimate snapshots while hunkered down at their sprawling Miami, Florida home for the entirety of the COVID-19 lockdown.
Towards the latter end of 2020, Netflix released the documentary Shawn Mendes: In Wonder that chronicled his meteoric rise to superstardom.
