It's unclear what's really going on between Selena and Zayn since neither of them have spoken out about the rumored romance. However, they both follow each other on Instagram.

Selena had dinner with Zayn's personal assistant, Taryn Zimmerman, on March 21, as the pair were photographed leaving Nobu restaurant in New York City. It came two days before the "Wolves" singer and the former One Direction member were allegedly spotted kissing.

Is Selena Gomez Single?

News of the Wizards of Waverly Place alum's reported fling with the "Pillowtalk" singer comes months after Life & Style confirmed in January that Selena was dating The Chainsmokers' Drew Taggart.

“They aren’t trying to hide their romance by sneaking around at members only clubs,” a source told Us Weekly at the time, adding that the stars were keeping things “very casual and low-key.”

The insider went on to say that Selena and Drew were “having a lot of fun together” amid their romance. “Selena can hardly keep her hands off him,” the source shared.

“I’m single! I’m just a little high maintenance,” she yelled at the apparently unaware athletes, adding, “But I’ll love you so.”

While they were together, the former flames welcomed a baby girl, Khai, in September 2020.

“I spend a lot of time with my little girl and missus,” Zayn shared during an interview with The Zach Sang Show in March 2021, gushing over dad life. “We hang out a lot together.”
