Selena Gomez and Niall Horan: Are they just friends?

There’s been a lot of rumors lately about Selena and Niall dating, but are they true? They seem to be hanging out together a lot. The whole thing started a while ago when they were spotted at Katy Perry’s concert in London together. Sure, they could’ve just gone as friends, but as it usually is with celebs, everyone started spreading rumors and wondering if they’re dating or not, analyzing every glance and touch.

 

More recently, there’s been reports that Selena and Niall have been seen kissing at Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s birthday party, but there’s of course, no photos, as mysterious celebrity affairs go. Finally, Selena was spotted backstage at X-Factor U.K. during the 1 Direction performance. Quite a few people tweeted that they saw her with Horan backstage; some even snapped some selfies with the starlet. Niall and Selena were seen leaving the X-Factor after-party together, leaving us to speculate.

 

 

Does this mean they’re dating or was she simply there to support her friend? Both Selena and Niall have been silent about it for quite a long time, but Selena finally spoke up about the rumors. In one of the interviews, when asked if they’re dating she said, “Oh my god! No.” However, she did add “I love him, I always have. He’s amazing!”. Niall hasn’t commented on the rumors yet.

 

It wouldn’t be the first time Selena denied dating someone. Remember her and Justin Bieber? She kept saying they were friends and that he’s like a brother to her, until some of the more private pictures started showing up. So is this thing with Niall the same? Is she just denying everything to keep her private life private, or are they just friends and these rumors are based on no hard facts at all? We’ll see.
