Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber's rumored relationship may have been over before it began again since the "Same Old Love" singer has been linked with One Direction's Niall Horan.
Us Weekly reported that Selena Gomez was spotted having dinner with friends including One Directioner Niall Horan. Fans were quick to ship the two singers and sparked speculations that they were dating.
Selena Gomez and Niall Horan went to dine at Nobu Malibu where they were joined by Liam Payne. A source told the publication that Gomez is very much single and that they have been friends for a long time now.
Meanwhile, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber's public outing last Friday night reignited the rumors that the exes are back together again. The "What Do You Mean" singer even serenaded the 23-year-old actress.
It was previously reported that Bieber is open to the possibility that he and the "I Want You To Know" pop star would get back together. "We have a lot of history together so it could possibly happen," he explained.
"I think we're both just on our own journeys, figuring ourselves out and once we've figured ourselves out we could maybe come together and make an awesome duo."
Furthermore, TMZ has debunked the rumors, saying that Selena Gomez is still single despite having dinner with Niall Horan. According to the publication, she and the One Directioner have been friends for years but "never anything more."
The website even commented that Justin Bieber serenading Selena Gomez was also just something between friends. It was also previously reported that the ex-couple's date last Friday did not necessarily mean that Jelena is back together.
"[They] were friendly at the [hotel] bar [last Friday]," the insider told People, "but they didn't act like a couple." It was also noted that "both pop stars have recently made supportive comments of the others."
