Popstar Camila Cabello is getting candid about her love affair with boyfriend Shawn Mendes.
The 22-year-old singer opened up about when she knew her feelings for the Canadian crooner were blossoming and said that initially, their connection was awkward.
"During 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' I really bonded with him as more than a friend," Cabello said of her 2015 record with Mendes, 21. "I think he did, too, but we were both really young and he was experiencing the pressures of his career."

"I don’t think we knew what to do with those feelings," she continued. "It was this awkward thing where we both liked each other, but we weren’t together. It was just weird."
The Cuban bombshell said she and Mendes “didn’t spend as much time together” after their record debuted despite the obvious “energy [that] was there from the beginning.”
