Pop stars Shawn Mendes and Sabrina Carpenter were recently spotted walking together in Los Angeles, sparking rumors of a possible romance between the two. The casual photos show the pair walking side-by-side, with Mendes sporting a jean jacket and Carpenter wearing an oversized black sweatsuit. While they have known each other and crossed paths in the industry for years, fans are speculating about the timing of the photos, which follow rumors from gossip Instagram account deuxmoi that they have been quietly dating.
Mendes previously dated fellow pop star Camila Cabello for over two years before they announced their breakup in late 2021. The joint statement they released on their Instagram Stories read, “Hey guys, we’ve decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever. We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends. We so appreciate your support from the beginning and moving forward.”
Carpenter, on the other hand, was previously linked to High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star Joshua Bassett. Dating rumors about Carpenter and Bassett reached a fever pitch in early 2021, allegedly inspired by Olivia Rodrigo’s breakout hit “Drivers License,” which fans speculated addressed Carpenter and Bassett’s relationship.
