Shawn Mendes has reignited dating rumours after posting a series of intimate photos from his time at the Sunny Hill Festival in Kosovo. The 26-year-old singer performed at the event, but it wasn’t his music that had fans talking, it was the identity of the woman featured in several affectionate photos on his Instagram.

In the black-and-white snapshots, Mendes is seen embracing and smiling at a woman who appears to be close to him. In another image, Dua Lipa joins the pair, kissing both Mendes and the woman on the cheek. Mendes captioned the carousel with “all we got is love !!”, fuelling speculation that the woman could be a new romantic partner.

Fans were quick to react in the comments. “Who’s this shawn huh??” one user wrote, while another questioned directly, “Are you dating Mr. Shawn Mendes??” The tone ranged from surprise to heartbreak, with many followers trying to piece together clues about the mystery woman.

Online sleuths soon identified her as Luana Quaglia, an international artist supervisor who has worked closely with Mendes since 2019. Quaglia is responsible for handling the logistics and creative aspects of artists’ tours and live performances. The two have maintained a long-standing professional relationship, and while neither has confirmed any romantic involvement, their evident closeness in the photos has left fans speculating.

This isn’t the first time Mendes’ personal life has stirred attention. He was previously linked to Camila Cabello, and in 2023 was rumoured to be dating Sabrina Carpenter, a claim he later denied in an RTL Boulevard interview.

As of now, Mendes has not confirmed being in a relationship. His post remains ambiguous, offering no clarification on the nature of his connection with Quaglia. Whether it’s a romance or simply a deep friendship, fans remain intrigued by this possible new chapter in his personal life.
