Mendes told the Times that the pregnancy scare “taught me a lot as a man.”
The Grammy-nominated singer did not say who his partner was during the song or during his conversation. However, in the interview, he began talking about his ex Camila Cabello, 27, “almost without prompting” after discussing a pregnancy scare.
Starr said whenever the public thinks she and Cabello are “weirdly against each other.”
Mendes still talks to Cabello about music and the important things in his life in general. “But honestly, if anything were to happen to my family and if anything were to happen to me, she would probably be the first person I call to this day,” he said.
“Our relationship is teaching me what love means, in a big way.”

“Man, I’m figuring it out like everybody else,” he said, introducing another of his new songs, “The Mountain.”

Mendes’ frankness was applauded by the crowd.
“Some days, my heart’s changed / You can say what you gotta say,” he sings in “The Mountain.” “You can say I’m too young / You can say I’m too old / You can say I like girls or boys / Whatever fits your mold.”
Speaking to the crowd in Colorado, Mendes added, “I’m trying to be really brave and just allow myself to be human and feel things. And that’s all I’m about right now. I want to say.”
