Shawn Mendes Embraces Friend Mike Sabath After Opening Up About Sexuality

Shawn Mendes found support from a close friend, musician Mike Sabath, just a day after opening up about his sexuality on stage in Colorado. The two were spotted in Los Angeles on Tuesday, sharing a warm embrace as Mike helped Shawn with his luggage. Their connection is strong; they’ve been friends for a while, and Mike even played a role in creating Shawn’s upcoming album, set for release next month.

Known for sharing glimpses of their friendship on social media, Mike has posted photos of the two hugging before, though this time, they kept it casual in T-shirts.

During his concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Shawn spoke openly about the long-standing questions surrounding his sexuality, admitting it’s a journey he’s still navigating. Opening up in front of such a large crowd took courage, and Shawn seems to have a solid support system by his side as he continues to embrace his true self.
