Camila Cabello Opens Up About PDA with Shawn Mendes

Camila Cabello is aware that she’s known for public displays of affection with boyfriend Shawn Mendes, but Cabello, 22, can still laugh about the reputation. Cabello made light of her frequent public kisses with Mendes, 21, when chatting with Greg James on BBC 1’s Breakfast with Greg James on Tuesday after a fan called in for the “Unpopular Opinion” portion of the morning program, saying that she thinks “public displays of affection on Instagram are too much. ” Cabello admitted that she and Mendes are known to show some PDA  — especially after the viral video of her and Mendes hilariously making out on the social media platform in September — but also said she understands why it might put some people off. “Ouch,” Cabello said with a laugh after the caller criticized PDA.

“Well. I feel personally targeted. I feel personally attacked. ” The “Havana” singer then joked, “Yeah, PDA is terrible.

I mean, kissing in public? I don’t even…. ” While Cabello ultimately said she agreed with the caller’s opinion that sometimes gushing over your significant other can get to be over the top, she added that having her every move documented by paparazzi has “desensitized” her to the potential annoyance of PDA. “The problem with you, Camila, and with Shawn as well, is that people are trying to take photos of you all the time,” James pointed out.

Might as well! ” Cabello and Mendes were first romantically linked after releasing “Señorita” and being spotted together multiple times over the summer holding hands and kissing in public. The “Never Be the Same” singer also told Rolling Stone last week that she and Mendes had a connection way back in 2015 when they collaborated on the song “I Know What You Did Last Summer” together, and that when they started hanging out again and working on “Señorita”: “[I]t just brought it back. ” Most recently, the duo gave a steamy performance of their collaboration “Señorita” during the 2019 American Music Awards on Sunday night, teasing fans in the audience and those watching on TV with an almost kiss.
