Bruna Marquezine and her boyfriend Shawn Mendes were recently spotted celebrating Valentine’s Day at the Carnaval celebrations in Brazil.

According to the viral social media posts, the couple was spotted affectionately hugging and dancing, dressed in casuals. The Canadian singer wore a brown tank top, black pants and sunglasses while the Brazilian model wore a brown sling dress and sunglasses with her hair tied up in a pony tail. They even joined Brazilian singer Ivete Sangalo's trio elétrico during the carnival.

The couple were earlier spotted at the Rio de Janeiro airport in Brazil. The pair sparked dating rumors in late November 2025. Speculation began during Mendes's trip to the country for the Earthshot Prize Awards, where fans noticed them spending time together.

The rumors gained major traction in December 2025 when they were spotted vacationing in Rio de Janeiro and later in Alagoas, where they reportedly rang in New Year’s Eve. Their romance was confirmed in January 2026 when their PDA-filled photos from a Los Angeles grocery store outing went viral.
