Despite having made the cutest couple at the Met Gala earlier this week, Shawn Mendes and Hailey Baldwin are still refusing to admit that they’re dating.

Now we don’t actually know for sure whether they are romantically linked, but after a number of what look like dates and super cute pics together it sure would make a whole lot of sense.

However after Shawn was asked about what the deal is between them recently, he stuck to the trusty friend zone to keep things simple.

"We’re really good friends," he told W Magazine. "It’s funny, she’s such a pro with this type of stuff. I want it to be amazing for her, so I’ve been trying for the past 24 hours to be really silly so that she stays on. I’m happy to walk with her — she’s amazing."

Okay that’s great and everything but come on now, just be a couple already so we know we’ve not wasted the last six months aboard this ship.

The potential couple were first spotted together back in November 2017,after a source told People that they were hanging out at Kylie Jenner’s Halloween party. A trusty spy even told the mag: "He had his arm around Hailey and stayed by her side all night."

Then came the MTV EMAs in London where, according to The Sun, "the place was packed with stars but Shawn only had eyes for Hailey. It clearly wasn’t a one-time thing. They looked like they were seriously into each other. It was a very exclusive bash and Shawn and Hailey were really enjoying themselves, spending ages French kissing."

So yeah, it's safe to say we're all kinds of confused now as to what's going on between them, but either way we're enjoying it.
