To think… just a few months ago Hailey Baldwin was Shawn Mendes’ date for the Met Gala, and now she’s engaged to Justin Bieber.

 

 

Don’t worry though, according to Shawn he’s cool with the whole thing!

During a recent interview with The Project, an Australian show hosted by Dave Thornton, Shawn admitted that he actually texted Hailey shortly after he found out about her engagement.  Shawn says, “I texted Hailey the day of and I said congrats.  That’s what it is.  Everybody wants there to be more — there’s not.”

Prior to Justin and Hailey’s engagement and soon after the Met Gala, the two were spotted around New York, kissing all over the place.  It was then that Shawn explained, “I don’t know if they’re dating or not.  I love them both.  They’re both really awesome people.”

Back in October of 2017, dating rumours between Shawn and Hailey began to spark. Neither Shawn or Hailey ever confirmed and / or denied their relationship status, and the dating rumour took a massive turn when the pair showed up to the Met Gala together – that was until Justin gifted Hailey with a big ol’ diamond.

In May of this year, Shawn told PEOPLE, “Obviously Hailey and I are friends, and it was really cool for me to be able to walk with her, because she’s a vet and it was my first year [The Met], so it kind of took the pressure off a little bit … I was thrilled to be able to go with her.”

It was also at this point that Shawn confirmed he and Hailey were just friends.

Of course, there’s no bad blood between the two Canadian cuties – Shawn once explained, “Bieber was a massive influence for me growing up.”
