Selena Gomez and Niall Horan are rumored to be currently dating.
While this appeared to be an interesting story, "Us" magazine dropped another detail that might have just stirred the rumor mill further.
It was reported that the 23-year-old "Good For You" singer was spotted dating the 22-year-old One Direction band member on Saturday at Santa Monica Pier, "the same spot where Gomez stepped out for her first public outing with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Justin Bieber, way back in 2011."
The outlet revealed that the said news was released a day after Selena Gomez and Niall Horan were spotted kissing while attending the 35th birthday bash of Jenna Dewan Tatum at Bootsy Bellows.
"Niall and Selena were seen kissing in the middle of the club, in front of everyone," an eyewitness reportedly told the magazine.
Another insider claimed that the closeness of the two singers could be more than just being friends especially that "Selena and Niall left together."
"She grabbed his arm on the way out and held onto it," the unnamed source dished.
While at Santa Monica Pier with their pals, Twitter and Instagram onlookers caught Selena Gomez and Niall Horan "riding roller coasters and playing boardwalk games together."
In the meantime, Hollywood Life reported that Justin Bieber's alleged move to make the former "Barney & Friends" star jealous appeared to be futile.
The site pointed out that "Justin's obvious display of flirtation with the brunette bombshell is causing Selena to turn to her new man" rather than to continue "her fling with the Biebs."
"Selena heard about Justin's Instagram crush and just cringed," a source reportedly disclosed to Hollywood Life. "She thinks it's so pathetic and knows without a doubt that this is Justin's desperate attempt of trying to make her jealous."
The source further narrated that the 21-year-old "Purpose" artist's "cry for attention" has actually made Selena Gomez like Niall Horam "much more."
