In a lighthearted TikTok shared on Thursday, Selena Gomez exclaimed, "I'm single!", dispelling the ongoing speculation surrounding her love life.
Throughout the year, rumours have linked her to various names like Zayn Malik and Andrew Taggart. Seeking to put the chatter to rest, the 30-year-old star shared a video of herself and friends casually relaxing at the edge of a public soccer pitch, wrapped up in a jacket and scarf with a blanket on her lap.
She then shouted at the players: “I’m single! I’m just a little high maintenance but I love you all so much!”
Unfortunately, Selena failed to get the attention of any of the men, captioning the video: “The struggle man lol.”
Fans commented on the singer’s relatability, with one user writing: “This is so real.”
Another added: “Imagine Selena Gomez screaming I’m single at you.”
A third commented: “It’s giving Alex Russo I love it”, with two laughing emojis.
Earlier this year, Selena Gomez was romantically linked to Andrew Taggart from The Chainsmokers. Despite announcing her single status in January, she was spotted just two days later holding hands with him in New York City.
An Us Weekly source claimed: “Selena and Drew have an amazing connection. 'They’re so happy to have gone with their guts and jumped in to give this a try.”
In early May, Andrew was seen leaving a VIP party in Miami while holding hands with a mystery woman, raising questions about the status of his relationship with Selena. Meanwhile, during that period, Selena was faced with persistent rumours suggesting that she had started dating One Direction’s Zayn Malik.
A source revealed to Page Six at the time: “They had a thing years ago, when Taylor and Harry were dating. It doesn’t surprise me at all that they’re potentially together [today].”
Speculation first began swirling the following morning, when TikTok user Klarissa Garcia shared a text message exchange with a friend of hers, who claimed she had seated the pair at an eatery in the city.
Sharing a screenshot of their conversation, Klarissa revealed a message which read: "Tell me how Selena Gomez and Zayn just walked into [restaurant] hand in hand making out and I seated them.”
A second eyewitness also corroborated the claims to ET, as they told the publication that they were seen "holding hands".
They added: "Most restaurant staff and restaurantgoers didn't notice them. It seemed like they were comfortable together and it was clear that it was a date.”
Despite widespread speculation of a blossoming romance, neither Selena nor Zayn ever publicly addressed the claims, however the pair do follow each other on social media – a rare occurrence in Zayn’s case, as Selena is just one of only 18 people his account follows.
