Is romance in the air? Netizens think so, all after reports that Selena Gomez and Zayn Malik were spotted hanging out together on what seemed to be a romantic date. Rumors of the alleged new relationship between the “Lose You to Love Me” performer and the former One Direction began to surface on TikTok thanks to user @klarissa.mpeg, who shared screenshots of text messages she was texting with a friend on the social network.
In the conversation, reported by People, it was revealed that the user’s friend claimed to have hosted the couple at an anonymous restaurant in New York, so she was apparently able to see how the artists were getting cozy on their date. And according to the chat, the two friends are employees at two of the celebrities’ favorite establishments, so they were able to catch them firsthand on their way out, although they did not have the opportunity to get proof of it.
The stars’ representatives have not commented on the matter so far, but this rumor about the pairing of these celebrities has been quite strong in recent weeks after users on networks noticed that Selena had started following Zayn on Instagram.

Selena and Zayn, a Dream Come True
Fans of the stars have been more than excited with this news of the possible relationship between the two, as they have just recalled that in 2010 Selena said in an interview that she had a crush on Zayn. It all happened on the red carpet of an event in early 2010, when the Only Murders In the Building star was asked which of the One Direction members she would like to kiss; she answered Zayn, with a giggle.
It should be noted that earlier this year, Selena was romantically involved with Drew Taggart, member of the duo Chainsmokers, after they were caught on a date at a bowling alley, but she put an end to the rumors of an alleged romance with a post on Instagram that she deleted some time later. Selena has been single for several years, as she has turned her attention to tending to her mental health issues, her television projects, and her entrepreneurial side through her makeup line, Rare Beauty.
In contrast, Zayn has also not publicly dated anyone after ending his relationship with model Gigi Hadid in October 2021, with whom he shares a 2-year-old girl named Khai, all due to allegations from Gigi’s mom, Yolanda, that he had allegedly physically assaulted her.
