Selena Gomez and Zayn Malik sparked dating rumours after the two were spotted having dinner together in New York City. According to People magazine, the couple were also seen kissing at the restaurant.

This comes just weeks after Twitter users noticed that Gomez had recently followed Malik back on Instagram. She is also one of only 18 accounts followed by the "Pillowtalk" singer.

According to US Weekly, sources close to the former One Direction member mentioned that Zayn has known Selena for years and is definitely "into her". They also went onto add that the couple aren't "super serious", mentioning that "she's free to see other people, however Zayn would love to continue to see Selena and see where things go".

Malik has not been linked to anyone since his split with Gigi Hadid in 2021, with whom he shares a daughter named Khai. The source also added, "He's been focused on himself these past few years and feels like he's ready to date again."
