Bad Bunny‘s underwear photoshoot has broken the internet. The Puerto Rican rapper is the star of Calvin Klein’s latest campaign. Let me tell you, the photos are steamy. They show Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, wearing the brand’s new boxer briefs. While he’s also wearing a tank top in some pictures, he’s shirtless in others, allowing his muscles and tattoos to be fully exposed. Of course, it didn’t take long for the thirsty comments to come pouring in, one of which included a viral reaction from Shawn Mendes.
Shawn Mendes Reacts to Bad Bunny’s Calvin Klein Ad On Instagram
Bad Bunny’s Calvin Klein ad was unveiled on Tuesday, March 18. However, Shawn Mendes didn’t publicly react to the campaign until recently. His one-word response has got everyone talking. “Guapo,” he commented. If you didn’t know, “Guapo” means handsome in Spanish, meaning Mendes was just as in awe by Bad Bunny’s underwear photoshoot as the rest of the world. Fans can’t get over the Canadian singer swooning over the Latin star so publicly.
Shawn Mendes’ comment has gone viral with over 35K likes and 1K replies on Instagram. “Ur so real for this,” one person responded. “Ariana what are you doing here?” another asked, clearly amused to find Mendes in the comment section. Another fan joked that Mendes was so impressed by Bad Bunny’s Calvin Klein ad that it’s “got him speaking Spanish.”
It’s possible the pop star learned a bit of the language from his ex-girlfriend, Camila Cabello, who is Cuban and Mexican. The pair knew each other for years before they became an item in 2019. During their time together, they dropped the hit single, “Señorita,” marking their second collaboration following the release of “I Know What You Did Last Summer” in 2015. After becoming a fan-favorite couple, Mendes and Cabello announced their breakup in 2021. Although they gave their relationship a second go in 2023, they later called it quits for good.
Exploring His Options
Following their breakup, Mendes has been open about questioning his sexuality. While performing in Colorado in October 2024, the singer revealed he’s “just figuring it out like everyone” else. “I don’t really know sometimes and I know other times,” he said. Mendes added that it’s “scary” for him to say that since there have been a lot of assumptions about him made online.
Over the years, Shawn Mendes has only ever been in public relationships with women. Apart from Cabello, he’s rumored to have dated Hailey Bieber in 2017 and 2018 and Sabrina Carpenter in early 2023.
As of now, he hasn’t put a label on his sexuality. Since it appears to be a hard topic for him, fans are happy Mendes is gradually getting more comfortable talking about it as time goes on. They think his comment on Bad Bunny’s Calvin Klein ad could be a sign he no longer cares about what the internet says about him or his sexual orientation.
