A source told Page Six that the Rare Beauty founder and the former boy bander “hooked up” way back in the day, while Selena’s BFF Taylor Swift was dating Zayn’s former One Direction bandmate Harry Styles.
“Zayn has known Selena for years and he’s definitely into her,” an insider told Us Weekly of the former teen stars. “He’s always admired her and thinks she’s an incredible person, inside and out.”
While Selena and Zayn have not confirmed romance reports, they have yet to deny them either.
Prior to Zayn, Selena was last romantically linked The Chainsmokers’ Drew Taggart earlier in the year, after they were spotted on several dates in New York City.
“He totally gets her and they vibe,” a source told J-14 in January 2023. “It’s an easygoing relationship and he is a calming influence on Selena … the first guy she has fallen for in a while.”
However, the Only Murders in the Building actress seemingly denied those dating rumors after posting to her Instagram Story, writing, “I like being alone too much,” adding, “#iamsingle.” They were spotted holding hands via photos obtained by Us Weekly a few days later.
ICYMI, Selena was also in a relationship with singer-songwriter Justin Bieber, who she dated on-and-off from 2010 to 2018.
