LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Camila Cabello and rumored beau Shawn Mendes say they're not romantically involved.

The 18-year-old Cuban-American singer and 17-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter insisted as much Monday on The Late Late Show with James Corden. The pair have been linked since September, but claimed they haven't even kissed.

"We're really not [dating]," Cabello asserted. Mendes told Corden the singer has previously rejected his advances, causing the star to disagree and exclaim, "He friend-zones me! He calls me kid!"

Corden wasn't impressed by the teenagers' protestations, saying, "It sounds to me like you both might love each other. You don't know how to commit. There's no way you haven't made out. I don't believe you!"

Cabello reportedly got to know Mendes on her Fifth Harmony tour with then-boyfriend Austin Mahone. The rumored couple recently released the collaborative single, "I Know What You Did Last Summer," and discussed the song with Rolling Stone this week.

"This is my first time writing a song with another artist, and I think this is her first experience writing a song herself, too," Mendes revealed. "It's really exciting to be growing as a songwriter and as an artist. I'm feeling myself get better."
