According to reports and sources close to the celebrities, Selena Gomez is reportedly dating Niall Horan of the British boyband, One Direction.

Singer Selena Gomez is being linked to One Direction's Niall Horan, after the two were seen together attending Katy Perry's concert in London. A source, who's said to be a friend of Gomez, confirms the budding romance going on between the two young chart-toppers.

"Selena was with Niall, they were on a date. Taylor [Swift] has been pushing them to hang out again because she's doing everything she can to keep Selena off Justin," says a source close to Gomez, as reported by Hollywood Life.

Gomez's last relationship with Justin Bieber was highly-publicized, including their on-off status. Though Gomez tried to rekindle the relationship with Bieber many times, her efforts didn't change Taylor Swift's ill thoughts about Bieber.

"Taylor thinks Selena's relationship with Justin is an addiction. She knows how hard it is for her to break so she's trying to support her in any way she can," continues the same source. Late last year, Swift too dated another One Direction member, Harry Styles.

Katy Perry's concert is not the only time Gomez and Horan were seen together. In February, the two were spotted hanging out in London. As for Horan, he is trying to be a gentleman towards the entire situation with Justin Bieber, and wishes no trouble for all of them.

"Not only are they just friends, but Niall's keen to avoid and trouble with Justin," further revealed the source.
