Sounds like Gigi Hadid is minding

her business and staying
unbothered.

In case you’ve managed to miss it,

away from all the drama with
Hailey Bieber, Selena Gomez has
apparently found time for some
romance.

The rumors originated from a

TikTok user under the handle
@klarissa.mpeg, who shared a text
exchange with a friend that
claimed to have hosted Zayn and
Selena at an unnamed restaurant
in New York City.

The creator explained that she and

her friend both work at
restaurants that are often
frequented by celebrities, before
showing the message that read:
“Tell me how Selena Gomez and
Zayn just walked into [the
restaurant] hand in hand making
out and I seated them.”

Soon after this, an eyewitness

corroborated the claims to
Entertainment Tonight, saying
that it seemed like “they were
comfortable together and it was
clear that it was a date.”

“Selena and Zayn went out in Soho

in New York City last night at
around 10:30 pm. They walked in
holding hands and were kissing,”
the witness went on. “Most
restaurant staff and
restaurantgoers didn't notice
them.”

Fans have also noticed that Selena

is one of only 18 accounts that
Zayn follows on Instagram.

As it currently stands, neither

party has commented on the
rumors. However, if the reports
were to be true, this would mark
Zayn’s first public relationship
since he split from Gigi Hadid in
October 2021.

Zayn and Gigi dated on and off for

seven years after being linked for
the first time in November 2015.

In January 2020, the couple

announced that they were
expecting a child, and their
daughter Khai was born in
September that year.

To contextualize, we wouldn’t
necessarily classify Gigi and Selena
as BFFs, but it’s certainly fair to say
that they’ve been running in
similar circles for a long time.

For starters, they’re both known to

be friends with Taylor Swift and
have been seen hanging out
together as part of Taylor’s inner
circle in the past.

They also went on vacation

together with Kendall Jenner back
in December 2015. And a month
prior to the trip, Selena described
Gigi as one of her “best friends”
during an interview at the
Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

On top of this, the two also have

links through Gigi’s younger
sister, Bella Hadid, who Selena has
previously been rumored to have
had a falling out with over their
respective relationships with The
Weeknd.

But, despite these connections, it

seems that Gigi is fine with her ex
moving on. In fact, reports have
suggested that she's completely
unfazed by the prospect of Zayn's
relationship with Selena.

On March 24 — the same day that

rumors about Selena and Zayn’s
supposed date night began
swirling online — an inside source
told Us Weekly that Gigi’s happy
for her ex to date whomever he
pleases, so long as he continues to
prioritize their daughter.

“Gigi has no problem whatsoever

with Zayn dating,” the insider said.
“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.”
