Rumors are swirling that Selena Gomez and Zayn Malik may be dating. According to an eyewitness, the two were seen on a dinner date in New York City, where they were holding hands and kissing. While neither party has confirmed the relationship, fans are eagerly waiting to see if the rumors are true.

The speculation began after TikTok user @klarissa.mpeg shared a viral video where she shared text screenshots from her hostess friend who claimed to have seen Malik and Gomez at their dinner, making out and holding hands.

This is not the first time Gomez has been linked to a celebrity. She was previously rumored to be romantically involved with Drew Taggart of The Chainsmokers. However, those rumors seem to have been quashed, and it looks like Gomez has moved on.

Malik, on the other hand, has been single since his split from Gigi Hadid in October 2021. The two had been on-again-off-again since they first began dating in 2015 and share a two-year-old daughter, Khai.

While fans are excited about the possibility of a Gomez-Malik relationship, some are wondering if it will cause tension with Hadid. However, according to a source, Hadid is fine with whoever Malik chooses to date, as long as he continues to be a good co-parent to their daughter.

"Gigi has no problem whatsoever with Zayn dating," the source told Us Weekly. "As long as he is happy and stable and continues to be a good co-parent to Khai, she’s fine with whoever he goes out with."

As for Gomez, she recently confirmed on TikTok that she is single, posting a video of herself lip-syncing to audio about how her dream guy doesn’t exist. She wrote in the caption, “Still out here lookin for him lol.”

Gomez has always been open about her search for love, and it seems like she is hopeful about finding it. “Selena is feeling positive and optimistic,” a source told Entertainment Tonight. “She is open to dating.”

While it is unclear if Gomez and Malik are actually dating, fans are excited about the possibility. Only time will tell if the two are meant to be together.
