JAKARTA - Singer Shawn Mendes answers rumors about his sexuality. Through an interview with The Guardian, the singer of Wonder thought the rumors were stupid and insensitive.

A claim that he is gay and his relationship with singer Camila Cabello is a publicity stunt that spreads across the internet every time Mendes releases a new song. Mendes also feels that many people expect him to open up as gay.

"I feel annoyed because I know people who are gay but have not yet dared to go public are having a hard time because of things like this."

Meanwhile, the relationship with Cabello continues to be in the spotlight. The two of them were considered displaying a fake relationship for the sake of promoting the Senorita song in 2018.

After the success of Senorita, Mendes and Cabello became close in 2019 and are currently living together in the midst of a lockdown. Mendes had briefly told the paparazzi that their relationship was not mere publicity.

Mendes also showed that relationship in the documentary In Wonder where he explained all the songs he composed telling about Camila Cabello. On the other hand, Cabello also uploaded an upload with a caption containing his support and love for Shawn Mendes.
