When asked if he was seeing the “Nonsense” singer, the Grammy nominee denied the rumor in an interview with Dutch television showRTL Boulevard: “We are not dating.”
Mendes, 24, and Carpenter, 23, both attendedVanity Fair’s Oscar party on Sunday— though they did not walk the red carpet together. Some fans even speculated that the green David Yurman pendant he wore was a nod to Carpenter’s birthstone, which is emerald. (A closer look showed that he has been wearing the pendant for years.)
