Is Niall Horan Dating Selena Gomez?

Is it Too Much to Ask that these two date?

Former One Direction member, Niall Horan, addressed rumors that he is dating Selena Gomez. Fans everyone have been insisting that the pair has been secretly dating since as far back as 2015, and has ramped up in the past few months. Luckily, Horan spilled the truth in an interview with Australian radio station 90.9.

Before we get to the good stuff, let me briefly explain why so many fans think the singers are gettin' cozy...

• In October, a mutual friend of the pair, Courtney Lopez, shared a group photo where Niall had his arm around Selena. Could be innocent though, right?

• Niall posted an Instagram Story photo in which he was posing in front of a billboard displaying Selena Gomez's picture.

• In an interview with Billboard, Niall called Selena "an absolute sweetheart," and mentioned they were "really good friend(s) right now." (emphasis on 'right now' ;))

• It's also widely known that Gomez was Niall's childhood crush. I mean, come on, who didn't have a crush on the Wizards of Waverly Place star!?

After all of this seemingly strong evidence, sadly, they've both denied the rumors! Niall explained in his interview with the Australian radio station that he is "very, very single."

Sigh, maybe in the future, Nelena fans.
