In October 2024, during a concert in Colorado, Mendes shared:
The real truth about my life and my s*xuality is, man, I’m just figuring it out like everyone.

Mike Sabath, a long-time friend of Mendes, was helping Mendes with luggage before they shared a warm embrace.
The two have a history of close collaboration, with Mike playing a significant role in Mendes’s upcoming album, set for release next month.

However, not everyone agreed with this speculation. One user countered:
you’re actually crazy, why did you even slow down a video of him giving a kiss on the cheek, when he does that to everyone in his band, women or men 😭 and he was thanking everyone

Another added:
It’s funny how y’all are delusional to the fact he ain’t gay. Mike has a gf. Stop believing tabloids, you don’t know who Shawn is actually in love with.

Inside the Past Relationships of Shawn Mendes with High-Profile Celebrities
Shawn Mendes has had several high-profile relationships throughout his career, each drawing attention and sparking interest among fans.
In 2016, rumors spread that Mendes was involved with actress Chloë Grace Moretz after the two exchanged flirtatious messages on X (formerly Twitter).
However, the speculation quickly faded, and neither party confirmed the relationship.
Between 2017 and 2018, Mendes was linked to model Hailey Baldwin (now Hailey Bieber). The rumors intensified when they were spotted together at events and kissing at an after-party.
Their appearance together on the red carpet at the 2018 Met Gala only added to the speculation.
Despite their public appearances, Mendes later clarified that they were just good friends. He later clarified in November 2018:
I don’t even wanna put a title on it. I think it was more of a zone of limbo. She’s still one of the f—— coolest people ever — she’s not just a beautiful person visually, but she’s one of the most beautiful hearts I’ve ever met. I think I’m an idiot to not, you know … But you can’t control your heart.
