Shawn Mendes can't "lie" to his girlfriend Camila Cabello

Speaking on New Music Daily With Zane Lowe on Apple Music's Beats 1, Camila said: "I think that he has a very kind of pure, free energy. Like he'll say to me sometimes, 'Oh, I had to talk to this person because it made my heart hurt.'

"And I feel like he feels this need to kind of lift the weight of whatever is hurting him in order for him to be free. And I think that that's really beautiful. That's a trait that I've adopted is like whenever I feel like there's a weird energy between me and somebody or if my heart is hurting for some reason, I'm like, 'OK, what do I need to do?' And I've noticed that about him. I think it's because of this purity that he has that I don't think that he can lie or fake because it hurts his heart.

"He's just, like, a very pure person and I think he's constantly kind of lifting those weights off of him because he can't live like that and I love that about him."

And, although they're both heavily featured in the public eye on a daily basis, the 22-year-old singer doesn't see her man's celebrity status when she looks at him.

She said: "I think that we both feel the same way about fame where it's like I don't understand people who consciously think about that for a lot of their time.

"Even when he's onstage, it's not a factor. I can't explain it. For example, how I look at myself when I'm onstage, I'm just kind of doing it and I'm performing, but I'm not seeing it how other people see it if that makes sense.

"And I think I just see him as a human being all the time."
