Camila Mendesis getting honest about her new relationship!
“I think I’m gonna keep it that way, for now. I don’t know, I’m constantly changing my perspective on it,” Mendes said when asked about her mostly private relationship. “Because the thing is, I love so hard when I love that I always want to show off my lover…I get so mushy gushy with that [stuff].”

Mendes added that she and her unnamed partner have been together “a few months,” and that they first got together in June.
“I am still in the honeymoon [phase], but it’s one of those situations where I feel like I’m really trying to temper myself,” she said. “I don’t wanna speak above and beyond, but I feel like I’ve known him my whole life, and that’s something I actually have never felt before.”
Mendes and Mancuso will star together inMúsica, an Amazon Studios rom-com that he’s set to direct. Mancuso is also tapped to compose the film’s original score and soundtrack, and he toldDeadlinewhen it was announced in April that hewas excited to workwith Mendes.
“I’m beyond excited to have the wildly gifted mind of Camila join this special journey ofMúsica,” he noted, “where we’re telling an authentic Brazilian-American story through the eyes of a synesthete.”

Elsewhere in theGoing Mentalinterview, Mendes opened up aboutdealing with an eating disorder, candidly telling host Eileen Kelly that she went back and forth with body image issues since childhood.
“I would watch every episode and be like, ‘Oh, my God, my stomach there…’ " she said. “I was, like, so insecure, and it really fueled my eating disorder.”
“When you’re in your early 20s, your body is fluctuating…my body hadn’t settled into itself yet,” she added. “I was looking at myself, taking myself apart. My stomach, you know, my arms, my chin, anything — I would obsess over.”
