Selena Gomez thinks Zayn Malik is her 'ultimate dream man': 'She’d like to see where this goes'

Selena Gomez and Zayn Malik’s romance is intensifying after they were spotted locking lips at a New York City restaurant last month.

An insider told Radar Online that the former One Direction band member is the Only Murders in the Building star’s “ultimate dream man.”

“They’ve really hit it off. Zayn is Selena’s ultimate dream man, and she’d like to see where this goes,” the insider said of the new couple.

The source even pointed out that Gomez always had a thing for the singer as she admitted back in 2012 that Malik was the One Direction member she most wanted to kiss.

“She thought he was so cute,” added the source.

As for Malik, it seems like the feeling is mutual as Gomez is one of the 18 people he follows on Instagram.

“They started slipping into each other’s DMs and learned they know a lot of the same people and have so much in common,” revealed the source.

This comes after an insider told Us Weekly that Gomez and Malik have known each other “for years” and the Back To Life singer is “definitely into her.”

“He’s admired her and thinks she’s an incredible person, inside and out,” the source said. “She’s free to see other people. However, Zayn would love to continue to see Selena and see where things go.”
