Shawn Mendes Opens Up About Sexuality: ‘I’m Just Figuring It Out Like Everyone’
During a performance at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Monday, singer Shawn Mendes shared personal reflections about his sexuality, telling fans that he’s “just figuring it out like everyone.” Mendes’ candid remarks touched on the uncertainty and societal pressures many face when exploring their identity.
“I don’t really know sometimes and I know other times. It feels really scary because we live in a society that has a lot to say about that,” Mendes said to the crowd, according to fan footage posted on social media.
Mendes’ comments came ahead of a performance of an unreleased song titled The Mountain, which seems to address how speculation about his sexuality has impacted him. He acknowledged that discussions around his identity have followed him for much of his career, calling it intrusive and personal.
“The truth is that I didn’t get to do a lot of 15-year-old things and discover parts of myself that you do at 15,” the Canadian singer explained. He went on to talk about the ongoing speculation about his sexuality, calling it “silly” and emphasizing the complexity of the subject.
“I think sexuality is such a beautifully complex thing, and it’s so hard to just put into boxes,” Mendes continued, sharing how this journey of self-discovery is ongoing for him. “The real truth about my life and my sexuality is that, man, I’m just figuring it out like everyone.”
Mendes described the significance of his new song, which includes the lyrics, “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.” He shared that it was important for him to address his feelings in a way that felt authentic.
“I guess I’m just speaking freely now, because I just want to be able to be closer to everyone and just kind of be in my truth,” Mendes added, receiving cheers from his supportive audience.
Mendes has previously spoken out against speculation surrounding his sexuality, calling for respect and understanding as he navigates his personal journey. His openness about this topic at the concert resonated with many fans, highlighting the importance of embracing one’s truth, even in the face of public scrutiny.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly Expecting Their First Child Together
Megan Fox has revealed that she and rapper Machine Gun Kelly are expecting their first child together. The Transformers actress shared the news on social media, posting a striking photo where she is seen kneeling and covered in a dark, inky substance while cradling a visible baby bump. She tagged Kelly, her partner since 2020, in the post and captioned it: “Nothing is ever really lost. welcome back.”
Fox also shared an image of a positive pregnancy test, adding a poignant layer to the announcement. Last year, she disclosed that she had experienced a miscarriage, and in a recent interview with Women’s Wear Daily, she opened up about a past ectopic pregnancy, a condition where a fertilized egg implants outside the womb, often in a fallopian tube.
Fox, who is already a mother to three children from her previous marriage, is expanding her family with Kelly, who has a daughter from an earlier relationship. The couple’s journey, marked by challenges and resilience, has been celebrated by fans who expressed joy over the news.

Mixed Reviews for ‘Paddington in Peru’: Charming but Lacks Original Spark
The newly released Paddington in Peru has received mixed feedback from critics over its opening weekend, being described as “charming enough” yet lacking the magic of its predecessors. The third film in the beloved series follows Paddington Bear on a heartfelt journey back to Peru to visit his Aunt Lucy.
Fans were pleased to see familiar faces return, with Ben Whishaw reprising his voice role as Paddington, alongside Emily Mortimer and Hugh Bonneville. However, while the film brings nostalgia and warmth, critics suggest it falls short of the series’ established high standard.
Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian commented that the movie was “just as jolly as the previous two films, but not really as funny,” comparing it to a “special episode of a TV sitcom that takes the cast to the Costa del Sol.” Leslie Felperin of The Hollywood Reporter noted that while it didn’t capture the “absurdist wit and decidedly dark edge” of the earlier films, it was “serviceable enough given its limitations.”
Nick Curtis of The Standard offered a more critical view, awarding the film two stars and remarking that it “misses the easy charm, the fluency and the icy sliver of jeopardy” that appealed to audiences of all ages in the original movies. He also noted that the film’s pacing felt “ponderous and slow.”
Despite these critiques, Paddington in Peru still manages to charm audiences with the lovable bear’s adventures, even if it doesn’t fully capture the magic that made Paddington a cultural icon since his on-screen debut in 2014.
