Shawn Mendes Elaborates on Hailey Bieber Relationship, Admits They Were More Than Friends

Shawn Mendes is speaking candidly about his relationship with Hailey Baldwin (now Hailey Bieber after her marriage to Justin Bieber).

In his Rolling Stone cover story, the profile of the 20-year-old entertainer said, “he acknowledges they were more than friends, but he’s still reluctant to call it a relationship.”

“I don’t even wanna put a title on it. I think it was more of a zone of limbo,” he said.

Shawn added, “I get it, you know. I texted Hailey, ‘Congratulations,’ and I really am happy for [their marriage]. She’s still one of the fucking 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.”

If you don’t know, Hailey and Shawn attended the Met Gala together in May. The next month, he reacted to Hailey‘s relationship with Justin.
