Selena Gomez News: Star Says She Isn't Dating One Direction's Niall Horan After Leaving Party Together
Selena Gomez has denied dating One Direction member Niall Horan after they were spotted together in London.
On Sunday, Selena Gomez and Niall Horan were seen leaving the "X Factor UK" afterparty for One Direction in London together. Reports about the two celebrities' relationship began spreading earlier this month, and the incident on Sunday only served to fuel the dating rumors, according to People.
One Direction performed for the last time on "X Factor UK" before starting their extended hiatus and sang two songs during the season's finale at the Wembley stadium. The boy band, which began its career in the reality talent show, had earlier announced that they will not record new songs together for a year or more, the report details.
Last Friday, Gomez and Horan were spotted together at Jenna Dewan-Tatum's 35th birthday party and they were also seen leaving together. An unnamed source said the two kissed that night and another eyewitness said they seemed "flirty" with Horan hooking his arm around Gomez and rubbing her back, ET Online reports.
Instagram user @disneylandgomez had earlier asked Gomez for advice on which album to choose between Justin Bieber's "Purpose" or One Direction's "Made in the AM." Surprisingly, she chose the latter over her ex-boyfriend's album. Bieber then posted photos showing him and Gomez back in the days when they were still an item, the report details.
However, Gomez maintained that she and Horan are just good friends. In an interview with ET at the Billboard's 10th Annual Women in Music event held in New York City last Friday, the young actress denied dating the One Direction singer.
"Oh my god! No," Gomez told ET. "I love him, I always have. He's amazing."
Despite the dating rumors about her and Niall Horan, Selena Gomez hinted that she is looking for something else in the romance department. Speaking to Instyle UK, she said she is interested in dating older guys.
