The 19-year-old "In My Blood" crooner opened up about his thoughts on the model, and his rumored ex, getting proposed to earlier this month. Rumors began circulating that there was drama between the two singers, after Mendes went to the Met Gala with Baldwin and then she began dating Bieber.

Mendes, who also hails from Canada, even praised the "What Do You Mean" singer, saying, "Bieber was a massive influence for me growing up."
Rumors of Mendes dating Baldwin swirled for months. In October, the pair was spotted cozying up and holding hands at a Halloween bash in West Hollywood, California. Following their appearance at the Met, Mendes told People that they were "friends" and were asked to walk together by Tommy Hilfiger.
Meanwhile, Bieber and Baldwin surprised fans when they got engaged in the Bahamas on July 7, only a couple of months after rekindling their romance. The couple confirmed their engagement last week, with Bieber gushing about his fiancee on his Instagram account.
