In the world of Hollywood, relationships can be as unpredictable as the weather. The recent saga involving Selena Gomez and Zayn Malik is a testament to this.
The two superstars, who were once rumored to be in a budding romance, have now unfollowed each other on Instagram, sparking a flurry of speculation among fans.
The Beginning of a Romance?
The rumors of a potential romance between Selena Gomez and Zayn Malik began in March, when fans noticed that the two had started following each other on Instagram. This happened amidst Selena's online drama with Hailey Bieber, which added fuel to the fire.
Some speculated that the two were working on a music collaboration, while others believed that a romantic relationship was brewing.
The rumors gained momentum when Entertainment Tonight reported that Selena and Zayn were spotted kissing in New York City.
A source claimed that the two seemed comfortable together, leading fans to believe that a new Hollywood couple was on the horizon.
The Plot Thickens
However, the narrative took a turn when Selena started dropping hints on TikTok that she was single.
This led fans to believe that either the rumored date never happened, or the two realized they weren't a good match after all.
The story took another strange turn when fans noticed that Selena had unfollowed a number of celebrities on Instagram, including Zayn, his ex Gigi Hadid, and Gigi's sister Bella. Zayn reciprocated by unfollowing Selena, leading to speculation of a feud.
A PR Stunt or Genuine Drama?
The timing of the mutual unfollowing, just before Zayn's album teaser release, led to speculation that this might have been a PR stunt.
However, Selena's TikTok video referencing a failed talking stage added another layer of complexity to the situation.
Some fans theorized that Gigi Hadid might have interfered with Selena and Zayn's romance, leading to Selena distancing herself from the drama.
Others speculated that Zayn might have used Selena for publicity for his new album.
The Verdict
While these are all speculations, the unfolding drama between Selena Gomez and Zayn Malik has certainly kept fans on their toes.
Whether it was a PR stunt, a failed romance, or a mix of both, only time will tell.
