Taking it slow. After being seen kissing in New York City earlier this month, Zayn Malik and Selena Gomez are thinking about getting together.
“Zayn has known Selena for years, and he’s definitely into her,” a source tells Us Weekly exclusively about the 30-year-old former One Direction member and the 30-year-old Only Murders in the Building star. “He has always liked her and thinks she is a great person on the inside and out.”
The source said that, at this point, the two aren’t “super serious” or exclusive. A source tells Us, “She’s free to date other people.” “But Zayn wants to keep seeing Selena and see where things go.”
The Wizards of Waverly Place star and the “Pillowtalk” singer were seen holding hands and kissing in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City on Thursday, March 23. This led to rumors that they were dating.
Since he broke up with Gigi Hadid in October 2021, Malik hasn’t been publicly seen with anyone else. The musician, who is 31, and the supermodel, who is 27, dated on and off for six years. They have a 2-year-old daughter named Khai.
A source says of the “Dusk Till Dawn” singer, “He’s been working on himself for the past few years and thinks he’s ready to date again.” “He’s hopeful that things could improve between him and Selena, but he’s not trying to hurry things along. He’d rather let things happen independently and thinks she feels the same way.”
Gomez, on the other hand, was last seen with Drew Taggart. But earlier this month, she gave the impression that she was single in a TikTok video in which she lip-synced to the words, “I hate it when girls say things like, “Oh my god, my crush doesn’t even know I exist.” “Girl, the person I like doesn’t even exist!”
The former Disney star wrote in the caption, “Still out here looking for him, lol.”
In another TikTok video from earlier this year, she made fun of the guys she was seeing. “Guys, I figured out why I’m single,” the singer from Texas said in the February video. “You need to get out and talk to people. You have actually to go outside and talk to them.”
The “Wolves” singer is friends with Hadid, in part because they both know Taylor Swift. However, a source recently told Us that the founder of Guest in Residence is happy that her ex-boyfriend has found love with someone else.
“As long as he is happy and stable and continues to be a good coparent to Khai, she’s fine with whoever he goes out with,” the source said of the California native, adding that Hadid has “moved on” from the former boy bander.
