Shawn Mendes and Bruna Marquezine spark romance buzz with Valentine’s Day PDA at Carnaval

Shawn Mendes and Brazilian actress Bruna Marquezine are seen spending Valentine together at Carnaval! Many videos and photos are getting viral of their open PDA. The pair looked inseparable as they celebrated in Brazil, surrounded by music, crowds, and flashing cameras.

Cozy moments at the parade

Clips from the event show the two staying close all night. They rode on singer Ivete Sangalo’s trio elétrico, a massive sound-blasting float central to the festivities. Shawn kept things casual in a sleeveless tank, dark trousers, and sunglasses. Bruna dazzled in a sparkling top, her hair tied back neatly, also wearing shades.

They hugged frequently and talk over the music. At times, they appeared to whisper to each other, smiling throughout. The relaxed body language suggested comfort and familiarity, not just a friendly outing.

Earlier sightings fueled speculation

This was not their first public appearance together. Earlier in the month, the duo was seen arriving at an airport in Rio de Janeiro. Weeks before that, they were photographed shopping at a grocery store in Los Angeles. Those images showed them embracing repeatedly, dressed in simple winter clothes.




Observers noted how natural they looked together. According to reports, the Brazil trip marked Shawn’s first widely noticed romance since his split from Camila Cabello, aside from brief rumors involving another personality in 2023. Bruna, meanwhile, previously had an on-and-off relationship with football star Neymar.

Shawn opens up about pressure and privacy

However, Shawn has tried his best to live a low-key lifestyle. In his past interviews and stage moments, the artist talked about the feeling of being judged. Shawn admitted that he wanted space to grow and get to know himself.

While on stage, the artist talked about not having the chance to experience teenage moments because of his fame.

His candid words on sexuality

Shawn has also addressed long-running conversations about his sexuality. Speaking honestly, he said, “The truth is that I didn’t get to do a lot of 15-year-old things and discover parts of myself that you do at 15. There’s this thing about my sexuality, and people have been talking about it so long. I think it’s kind of silly, because I think sexuality is such a beautifully complex thing, and it’s so hard to just put into boxes.”

He added, “The real truth about my life and my sexuality is that, man, I’m just figuring it out like everyone,” and later shared, “I’m trying to be really brave and just allow myself to be a human and feel things. And that’s all I really want to say about that for now.”
