In a shocking turn of events, Selena Gomez has reportedly ended her budding romance with Zayn Malik, allegedly due to the drama stirred up by the Hadid sisters.
This unexpected development has left fans reeling, as many had been rooting for the couple for months.
The Beginning of a Secret Romance
Rumors of a secret romance between Selena Gomez and Zayn Malik began to circulate after a TikToker claimed to have witnessed the pair on a date at a New York City restaurant. The TikToker's friend, a server at the restaurant, allegedly saw the two celebrities enter hand-in-hand and engage in some PDA.
Adding fuel to the fire, Zayn was found to be following Selena on Instagram, a significant move considering he only follows 18 people on the platform. The dating rumors were further validated by popular gossip channels and news sources, including Entertainment Tonight, which reported that an insider source confirmed the pair had indeed gone on a date.
A History of Crushes
Interestingly, Zayn and Selena have a history of mutual admiration. A tweet from 2010 resurfaced, showing a 17-year-old Zayn reaching out to Selena. Moreover, in a 2013 interview, Selena admitted that if she had to pick a member of One Direction for a kiss, it would be Zayn.
The Hadid Sisters Drama
However, the relationship was not without its complications. The Hadid sisters, Gigi and Bella, have a tumultuous history with Selena. Allegedly, Justin Bieber, Selena's ex, accused her of cheating on him with Zayn, causing a rift between the Hadid sisters and Selena.
Furthermore, Selena's brief relationship with The Weeknd during Bella's break from him strained their relationship further. Despite Selena's attempts to mend fences, Bella reportedly still holds a grudge.
The Breakup and Unfollowing Spree
The drama reached a peak when fans noticed that Selena had unfollowed Zayn, Gigi, and Bella on Instagram. This unfollowing spree led to speculation that Selena had ended her relationship with Zayn.
Rumors suggest that Selena discovered Zayn had been unfaithful, leading her to cut ties with him and the Hadid sisters. Alternatively, some believe that Selena chose to distance herself from the drama, as indicated by her "I am single" TikTok post two weeks prior to the unfollowing incident.
The Aftermath
The fallout from this drama has left fans speculating about the true nature of the relationship between Selena, Zayn, and the Hadid sisters. Was this a classic revenge plot by the Hadid sisters, or is there more to the story than meets the eye?
Regardless of the truth, this incident serves as a reminder of the complexities of celebrity relationships and the impact of social media on their narratives. As the dust settles, fans are left waiting to see what the future holds for Selena Gomez, Zayn Malik, and the Hadid sisters.
