Does Austin Mahone fancy Camila Cabello? The teen heartthrob reportedly set the record straight on rumors that he and the Fifth Harmony singer are more than friends.

In an interview with Cambio, Mahone confessed that his relationship with Cabello is strictly platonic, and even posted Instagram photos of them together just to see how their fans would react. Mahone added that the photos were taken and shared in jest, and the two are getting a laugh at the reaction on Twitter-verse.

Dating rumors about Mahone and Cabello started when Mahone described his ideal girlfriend. Citing an interview with M magazine, the Inquisitr noted that Mahone's perfect girl could easily be found in Cabello.

"[I like] someone who's shorter than me. Someone who likes to travel [is important] because I do a lot of traveling. Someone who likes to wake up at 3 am [is crucial] because I do a lot of that, too. For a first date, I'd probably take a girl to a nice Italian restaurant, and then maybe a nice stroll on the beach before it gets dark," he was quoted as saying.

On the other hand, both Mahone's and Cabello's rising music careers might have suppressed whatever spark is between the two. On the other hand, Mahone's career trajectory has also allowed him to think of other prospects, like Leigh-Anne Pinnock of Little Mix perhaps?

In another interview with Capital FM, Mahone recalled a body lotion incident he had with Little Mix. He told Capital's Max at the Ball, "No I actually needed lotion! I was practicing my backflip and I kept falling on the grass, and the grass was making me itch like crazy. And there was no girls around, but Little Mix were next door. Four girls, they have to have lotion. So they helped me out. They're awesome, they're talented, sweet girls."

He even told Capital FM about his dream date with Pinnock, if given the chance that the Little Mix superstar would accept his invitation.

"I don't know any cool places but I'll find a nice restaurant. Maybe I'll have a little thing set up in the London Eye and have them stop at the top and have a nice dinner," Mahone shared.

We're pretty sure Mahone-Cabello fans would probably be disappointed with the revelations, but at least they have each other as friends -- for now.
