Selena Gomez and Zayn Malik are officially dating. (Read More Here).

The rumors of the unexpected duo began circulating after TikTok user Klarissa Garcia posted a now-viral video in which she claims a friend of hers was a hostess at the restaurant where Malik and Gomez dined together.

Neither Selena nor Zayn has addressed the newfound ship rumors, but fans on social media did call out that the singer is one of the 18 people Sel actually follows on Instagram. Plus, interested fans did some digging and uncovered two receipts connecting the duo, one of which goes back 10 years.

Reports of Selena and Zayn’s date come weeks after the actress was linked to The Chainsmokers DJ and producer Andrew “Drew” Taggart. In early January, Us Weekly reported that the duo had an “amazing connection,” and they both “jumped in to give this a try.”

Despite those reports, Sel lip-synched to a video joking about her relationship status. On March 15, she mouthed, “Oh my gosh, my crush doesn’t even know that I exist.'” She then changed her expression and mouthed the rest of the audio, which said, “Girl, my crush doesn’t even exist!” She seemingly hinted at her relationship status in the post’s caption, writing, “Still out here lookin for him lol.”

Although, soon after the spread of the rumour, the female artist debunked the claims with a message she posted on her Instagram story, she said “I like being alone too much #iamsingle.”

Tell me how Selena Gomez And zayne Just walked into [redacted restaurant name] Hand in hand Making out And I seated them,” the string of texts read.

“Everyone’s out here feeling bad for Selena, MEANWHILE, she with gigis BABY ZADDDYYY.”

As per the ET source online, not many people amongst the customers and staff of the restaurant noticed them. However it was clear that the rumored couple was on a date and seemed quite comfortable with each other. But these rumors that they were making out and cozying up in New York City were quickly squashed. The two parties didn’t make any official statement on these rumors.

These speculations began when a viral clip showed Zayn Malik posing with the fans with a woman’s bag slung across his shoulders. Fans were quick to point out that the Wolves singer has the same bag as shown in pictures. Earlier in an interview, Gomez also said that the One Direction member she would like to kiss is Zayn Malik.   

The news of both the singers dating each other came as a happy surprise for the fans which they quickly expressed on their social media sites. One fan tweeted, ‘I just KNOW that dinner was just Selena and Zayn talking shit on how crazy and deranged the Hadid/Bieber clan is’.
