Musician Zayn Malik and singer and actress Selena Gomez reportedly shared a date in New York City last week.
The rumors surrounding the stars’ potential romance began after a Zayn Malik uploaded a now-viral video saying that the two had been spotted together on Thursday, March 23.
TikTok creator @klarissa.mpeg uploaded a clip to the social media site, saying that she works as a hostess at a restaurant in New York City.

She then shared screenshots of alleged WhatsApp messages sent to her by her friend, who also works at an NYC restaurant, saying that they had escorted Gomez and Malik to their table at the eatery she is a hostess at.
In the clip, the name of restaurant was blurred out but the sender of the messages said that she saw former One Direction member Zayn Malik and Only Murders in the Building star Gomez “hand in hand” and “making out.”

Celebrity gossip Instagram page DeuxMoi initially downplayed the reports, sharing on their Instagram Story that weren’t able to independently confirm the story.
“Usually when [Selena is] out in NYC someone writes in seeing her and I always thought Zayn Malik stayed in Pennsylvania,” the anonymous blogger added, along with a shrugging emoji.
Shortly after, however, an eyewitness source told Entertainment Tonight that Gomez and Malik “went out in SoHo in New York City.”
“They walked in holding hands and were kissing. Most restaurant staff and restaurantgoers didn’t notice them. It seemed like they were comfortable together and it was clear that it was a date,” they added.
