Niall added that since he is a celebrity, people are quick to assume he’s dating someone just because he’s photographed with them. “It doesn’t make a difference. If I am seeing someone, if they’re just a friend of mine, people think I’m going out with them,” he said. “That’s the most annoying part, isn’t it really? I can’t even be friends with a female.”

Although he’s unattached, the “Nice To Meet Ya” singer said that right now, he’s focused on his career. “But it’s not like you really ever go out of the way to properly look for love. If it comes to you, it comes to you, and if something falls in your way or you meet someone or whatever, then fair enough. And then, yeah, just kind of see what happens.”

They stood next to each other in the picture, as Niall put his arm around the Spring Breakers star. The “Slow Hands” singer also raised eyebrows when he posted two heart emojis in the comments section of Selena’s Instagram post as she promoted “Lose You To Love Me.”
