Shawn Mendes publicly declares love for Bruna Marquezine on her birthday

On 4 August 2026, Canadian singer Shawn Mendes posted an Instagram tribute for Brazilian actress Bruna Marquezine’s 31st birthday. In the caption he called her “my baby”, said she “changed my life”, thanked the Casa Amarela Providência community centre in Rio’s Morro da Providência, and shared videos of the couple interacting with children at the project.

The post marked the first explicit public acknowledgment of their relationship, which began in late 2025 after a series of sightings in Brazil and the United States. Their romance has been noted in earlier events such as Rock in Rio 2017, Lollapalooza Brasil 2025, a Dua Lipa concert in São Paulo, New Year celebrations in Alagoas, and Carnival in Salvador. Celebrities and fans reacted with congratulatory comments across social media.

Mendes’ message, written partly in Portuguese and Spanish, was accompanied by photos of the pair with children, toys and a dog, and a thank‑you to the Casa Amarela Providência for its work with local youth. The declaration has been widely reported in Brazilian and international entertainment media.
