Shawn Mendes and Portuguese singer Maro spark curiosity with a low-key coffee stroll

Pop sensation Shawn Mendes and Portuguese singer-songwriter MARO were spotted enjoying a chill morning coffee run at Café Muro in Los Feliz, sending fans (and casual coffee drinkers) into a caffeine-fueled curiosity spiral.

The duo kept it casual but effortlessly cool as they sipped tiny espresso cups and strolled through the laid-back L.A. neighborhood.

Cozy Fits and No-Frills Vibes

The minimalist heartthrob rocked a long, dark overcoat with a shirt that was more "suggested" than "buttoned." Paired with light-wash jeans and leather loafers.

MARO matched the cozy vibe with a royal blue sweater layered over a white button-down, wide-leg jeans, and comfy-looking slippers. She topped the look off with a mustard-yellow crossbody bag, adding the right pop of color and personality.

Who Is MARO?

For those just tuning in: MARO, born Mariana Brito da Cruz Forjaz Secca, is a rising Portuguese singer-songwriter known for her ethereal voice, genre-blending tracks, and collaborations with artists like Jacob Collier and John Batiste. She even represented Portugal in the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest.

And how did these two end up coffee-walking in L.A.? Well, it's not that wild. Mendes has long shown love for thoughtful, instrumentally rich music, and Maro's style fits the bill. Whether this hangout hints at a future collab or is simply a caffeine-fueled catch-up between friends is still a mystery. 

Are They Collaborating or Dating?

Naturally, fans are already spiraling into "are-they-dating" territory, as the internet does. But there's no official word (or PDA) to support that theory—yet. The vibe seemed platonic, albeit super comfortable, with both artists seemingly enjoying the slow pace of a quiet morning.

Still, with Mendes recently teasing a return to music and MARO's growing international reach, this sighting could signal a creative collab on the horizon.

Whether it's music, romance, or just two creatives vibing, the Shawn-MARO coffee moment is pure Gen Z dreamscape: chill, chic, and deeply intriguing.
