Shawn Mendes Walks Around Beach Dripping Wet After Quick Dip

SM looks fit as always here — but, perhaps a little more slender than he has in the past … even stars work on their summer bodies FWIW.

Mendes has a little facial hair here BTW … and, matching chest moss to boot — so, he’s looking less like the fresh-faced teenager he once was.

As we told you … Shawn ended up in an awkward love triangle of performers just last week at the VMAs — when he, Camila Cabello and Sabrina Carpenter all took the stage.

Sabrina sang “Taste” — reportedly all about her short-lived fling with Shawn — while Shawn and Camila traded songs about one another.

Shawn’s always denied any romance with Sabrina … but, her new album “Short n’ Sweet” seemed to spill all the damn tea about their alleged tryst.

Bottom line … it’s a pretty complicated situation between the three that could’ve led to an awkward moment or two — and, it would make sense that Mendes needs a little beach R&R to recover.

Mendes’ new album — “Shawn” — comes out next month … and, just like the album’s name, it seems he’s focused on himself.
