Selena Gomez is frequently being linked to some eligible bachelors, and one of the latest rumors now is that she is dating One Direction member Niall Horan. But, how true is this? Is Justin Bieber's ex-girlfriend really dating the member of the famous boy band?

Rumors recently emerged claiming Gomez, 26, is dating Horan, 25. This dating rumor has started after journalist Mike Wass shared a post via Twitter, claiming he saw the two at the Lewis Capaldi gig last April 3. The caption has caught the attention of many as it maintains, "Selegend & Niall were sitting at the table next to me."

Many fans quickly commented on the tweet, and most of them were convinced Gomez and Horan may have possibly spent some time on the said event. But while many speculated the pop stars might be romantically involved, a source tells HollywoodLife that dating rumors swirling this past week is not really true at all.

According to the source, Gomez thinks Horan is a great guy, especially since he also loves music. However, the tipster added, the two weren't boyfriend and girlfriend - like what most people believe. The "Bad Liar" singer is reportedly not interested in dating as of the moment, although she thinks the One Direction member is cute and totally talented.

The source also maintains Gomez really appreciates the nice things Horan has said about her, but she is not ready to be in any romantic relationship right now. Bieber's ex-girlfriend is reportedly hanging out with her friends most of the time, and of course, her priority is to take care of herself first. The insider added that it's possible she might date Horan someday, but now is not the right time for her to be in a relationship.

It's worth mentioning Gomez previously had a tough time, particularly dealing with her mental health. It can be recalled she had an on-and-off relationship with Bieber in March 2018, but they eventually broke up, and the latter rekindled his romance with Hailey Baldwin, got engaged, and got married on that same year.

After a month, Gomez reportedly entered a mental health facility to seek treatment. Now, many of her fans are hoping she could date Horan someday as they believed the two are "perfect for each other." But then, that wasn't really on her agenda right now.

The source concluded Gomez would find her true love at her own pace and time, but dating Horan right now might not be possible as she reportedly wants to be the best for herself first before being romantically involved with anyone.
