Selena Gomez was spotted holding hands with Drew Taggart in New York City on Saturday, two days after she denied rumors of a relationship.
The Good for You singer, 30, and the Chainsmokers musician, 33, enjoyed a romantic dinner at Torrisi Bar & Restaurant in Soho before leaving, fingers crossed, according to Us Weekly.
This is their second date in a week, as the couple knocked over some pins at a bowling alley on Tuesday, prompting Gomez to declare “#iamsingle” in a since-deleted Instagram post.

Keeping things chic and classy for her night out on the town, Selena wore an all-black ensemble that included a turtleneck, simple pants and an oversized blazer.
Taggart wore his signature collar and donned a hoodie sweatshirt, edgy bomber jacket and baggy jeans with white butterfly patches on each knee.
Wild speculation swirled around the pair, leading Gomez to directly confront the rumors earlier this week in a since-deleted Instagram post.

The superstar shared an image of a cloudy sky that showed the face of an unidentified man standing in front of a high hill and looking down.
“I like being alone too much,” Gomez wrote of the scenic snap, adding, “#iamsingle.”
Her post came after Us Weekly reported that she and the Closer crooner weren’t “trying to hide their romance by sneaking around members-only clubs.”
The couple’s romance has been described as “very casual and low key”. A source claimed their dates consisted of “going bowling and going to the movies.”

New romance? Her denial came after reports that she and the Closer crooner weren’t “trying to hide their romance by sneaking around members-only clubs” (seen in 2022).
“Selena can’t keep her hands off him,” the insider added, noting that they “have a lot of fun together.”
Taggart recently split from 24-year-old EDM artist Eve Jobs, Steve Jobs’ youngest daughter.
They started dating over the summer but reportedly split last month.
Before Eve, he dated Meredith Mickelson and Haley Rowe, as well as Chantel Jeffries.

“It was an amicable split and they remain friends,” the Grammy-winner’s rep told Us at the time of his split from Jobs.
Last week, during a salacious interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, The Chainsmokers admitted to having a threesome with fans while on tour.
The musical duo – consisting of Alexander Pall, 37, and Taggart – who regularly share stories about their sexual escapades – spoke openly about “strange” romps they’ve had on international tours.
Speaking to host Alex Cooper, the pair said they’ve had a threesome with fans on more than one occasion, with Drew saying, “Does it count if it’s international?”

Meanwhile, Entertainment Tonight claimed in December that Gomez is open to dating.
The pop star – who has previously dated Nick Jonas, Justin Bieber and The Weeknd – was looking for love, sharing: “Selena is feeling positive and optimistic. She’s open to dating,” a source told the site.
In July, the same site claimed she wasn’t dating anyone but wanted to.
“She’s more open about love, but she’s also very focused on herself and her work right now,” the source said. “She’s in a very healthy place. She feels fantastic and is very healthy mentally, physically and emotionally.”
The comments come shortly after the Love You To Lose Me singer claimed that breaking up with Justin – who she dated on and off from 2011 until their final split in early 2018 – was the “best” thing that ever happened to her.

She said: “Everything was so public.
“I felt haunted by a past relationship that no one wanted to let go of. Then I just walked past it and wasn’t afraid anymore.
“I feel like I had to go through the worst heartbreak ever and then just kind of forgot about it all in the blink of an eye, it was really confusing.
“But I just think it had to happen and in the end it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

“It’s about more than a lost love. I’m learning to choose myself, to choose life, but also to hope that people can find grace and peace in it too.
“The song is about knowing that you lost every part of yourself just to rediscover yourself.”
Justin began dating his now-wife Hailey Baldwin, 25, shortly after they split in 2018.
A month after Justin married Hailey in September 2018, Selena reportedly suffered a breakdown related to her lupus and sought treatment for her mental health.
