Read our privacy policy Shawn Mendes has reacted to a 2015 clip of him denying that he and now-girlfriend Camila Cabello were dating, revealing that it was “really hard” to watch and that he had been in denial about his feelings. The 22-year-old singer was reminded about the video during an appearance on Monday's episode of The Late Late Show With James Corden, where Corden recalled that he’d never seen a “more unconvincing denial” than when Mendes and Cabello appeared on the show together. In the clip, which Corden then played for Mendes and guest Matthew McConaughey, the Señorita singers are sitting closely on the host’s couch as he asks: “Are you two dating?” After Mendes turned towards Cabello for her reaction, she responded: “Well… no. “I didn’t even accept that I was completely in love with her for another three years after that point, but it’s so obvious on my face right there,” Mendes said, adding: “I think three years after that was when I finally admitted it and then another two years after that was when I decided to do something about it.” However, according to Mendes, the timing “kind of worked out”.
