Shawn Mendes and Hailey Baldwin ‘were kissing at MTV EMA after-party’

Shawn Mendes and Hailey Baldwin were reportedly spotted kissing into the early hours following the MTV European Music Awards (EMAs) on Sunday (12.11.17).
The 19-year-old singer – who won three awards, including Best Artist, and Best Song for ‘There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back’, at the bash – was apparently seen "French kissing" the 20-year-old model at an EMA after-party in West London.
An eyewitness at the party – which was also attended by the likes of Stormzy and Idris Elba – shared: "The place was packed with stars but Shawn only had eyes for Hailey.
"It clearly wasn’t a one-time thing. They looked like they were seriously into each other. It was a very exclusive bash and Shawn and Hailey were really enjoying themselves, spending ages French kissing."
The duo apparently made no effort to hide their passion for each other at the bash, which ended at 6.30am.
The source told The Sun newspaper: "They even posed for a photo with Rita Ora. It seemed like they wanted everyone to know they are an item."
Hailey previously dated Justin Bieber, but rumours of a romance with Shawn have been swirling ever since they were recently seen leaving a Halloween party holding hands.
Meanwhile, Shawn revealed last year that despite the intense speculation surrounding his love life, music remained his biggest passion.
He explained: "The second I feel about a girl the way I feel about music is when I know.
"Being a sex ­symbol isn’t cool unless you’re in love with a girl and she calls you a sex symbol."
In another interview, Shawn revealed he was eager to fall in love, because it could inspire him to write some new music.
Asked if he’d ever had a serious romance, Shawn said: "I don’t think so. I can’t wait because I really have some songs to write about."
