DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Selena and Zayn for comment.
The new spate of dating rumors has sent the fans into a tizzy online, where they have been excitedly posting their reactions.
Some TikTok commenters exclaimed: ‘Is this true???? Please tell me it’s true,’ ‘She deserves all the happiness in the world,’ ‘I love this for her,’ Ooooooo!!! I really hope this is true!!!’ and ‘It’s giving the best comeback.’
Others however were less enthusiastic, including one who brought up Zayn’s supermodel ex Gigi Hadid and wrote: ‘Nooo Gigi likes her and she comments on her post and likes her pictures. Girl code.’
An old red carpet video from 2010 has resurfaced in which Selena was asked which One Direction member she would kiss and she giggled: ‘Zayn.’
Selena has a storied history of dating her fellow pop stars, including her teenage sweetheart Justin Bieber and The Weeknd.
Justin and Selena had a whirlwind on-off romance that fell apart for the final time in 2018 – months before he tied the knot with Alec Baldwin’s niece Hailey.
The month after Justin married Hailey, Selena reportedly suffered a breakdown connected to her lupus and entered treatment for her mental health.
A day after news broke of Selena’s alleged breakdown, Justin was spotted looking anguished as he sat in his car beside Hailey.

Zayn meanwhile had his own rollercoaster off-and-on romance with Gigi Hadid, with whom he shares a two-year-old daughter called Khai.
News of their latest breakup went public in October 2021 amid Zayn’s explosive falling-out with Gigi’s reality star mother Yolanda Hadid.
Zayn and Yolanda had an altercation that September, and though he denied claims he was physically violent, he pled no contest to four harassment charges.
He was barred from contact with Yolanda or the security guard who saw the spat, and had to complete an anger management course and 360 days probation.
The fracas reportedly started when Yolanda entered Gigi and Zayn’s Pennsylvania home without Zayn’s permission while Gigi was in Paris for work.
Zayn was accused of pushing Yolanda into a dresser and calling her a ‘f***ing Dutch s***,’ demanding she keep away from the baby.
It was also claimed he called Gigi and said: ‘Strap on some f***ing balls and defend your partner against your f***ing mother in my house.’
