People online think that Robert Irwin and Shawn Mendes are dating after a bizarre photo went viral.

The pair have been linked after a series of odd AI-made photos were shared, along with eye catching headlines hinting they are dating.

The Irwin family have shared that there is no truth to the odd rumor, adding that they, like the public, are baffled by the news.

It all started back in 2022, while promoting the animated film, Lyle, Lyle Crocodile.

They teamed up in a video, where the animal expert shared some crocodile related facts.

This interaction seemingly caused fans to run wild with romantic theories, with one person even labelling them the ‘perfect match’ and another pointing out it was a ‘crocodile love story we never saw coming’.

The clickbait headline reads ”He didn’t say a word, but one quiet gesture from Shawn Mendes to Robert Irwin is breaking the internet – and fans think it means everything.’.

Questions about Shawn Mendes’ sexuality have been circulating for years, with the singer previously sharing he was being ‘really brave’ about the issue that he admitted was complex.

‘There’s this thing about my sexuality, and people have been talking about it so long,’ Shawn said, saying it was ‘kind of silly, because I think sexuality is such a beautifully complex thing, and it’s so hard to just put into boxes.’
