Before she became Mrs. Bieber - Hailey was linked to Shawn Mendes.
They made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala, but insisted they were just friends. A month later Hailey was engaged to Justin Bieber
Now, Shawn has acknowledged to Rolling Stone that they were more than friends:
“I don’t even wanna put a title on it. I think it was more of a zone of limbo.”
“I texted Hailey, ‘Congratulations,’ and I really am happy for them. She’s still one of the coolest people ever — she’s not just a beautiful person visually, but she’s one of the most beautiful hearts I’ve ever met.”
“I think I’m an idiot to not, you know. . . . But you can’t control your heart.”
