Mendes and Baldwin have been linked since the fall, although the model told Us Weekly at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in March that she's "not" dating anyone. She told People prior to the awards show that she laughs off "most" dating rumors.

"It's quite funny to me, to be honest," the star, who previously dated Justin Bieber, said. "I try to keep that side of my life as private as possible. I don't feel like I have to explain myself to people because it's my life."

E! News previously reported Mendes and Baldwin are "definitely" dating.

"It started out casual as they would run into each other at parties and hangout, but most recently it's become more serious," a source said. "They are definitely dating and spend a lot of time together."

"Their relationship has grown and they don't care if anyone sees them now," the insider added.
