Selena Gomez and Zayn Malik

Selena Gomez and Zayn Malik sparked dating rumors after being reportedly seen kissing and holding hands in NYC.

By Iris Goldsztajn Iris writes about everything from celebrity news and relationship advice to the pitfalls of diet culture and the joys of exercise. She has many opinions on Harry Styles, and can typically be found eating her body weight in cheap chocolate.

Gomez has apparently taken up with another ex of another Hadid sister—and one who allegedly assaulted their mother. What a tangled web these people weave!

But either way, despite emphatically stating in recent TikToks and IG stories that she doesn’t want drama, Gomez is dating another ex of another (possible) ex-friend in Hailey Bieber’s orbit. Hadid not-so-subtly made her [thoughts about Gomez dating her ex](https://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/news/a24784/bella-hadid-hurt-and-pissed-by-selena-dating-the-weeknd/) pretty clear at the time, and for the last several years has either shut down or outright ignored public compliments Gomez has paid her. Malik and Gigi’s relationship, you may recall, ended in turmoil in the fall of 2021.
