Selena Gomez & Drew Taggart hold hands on second public date after actress declared she’s ‘single’ – News JoJo

Selena Gomez had us all fooled!

Last week, the singer shut down rumors she and The Chainsmokers’ Drew Taggart were dating, claiming she’s “single” because she likes “being alone too much.” However, the duo was caught holding hands on a Saturday, January 21 date night in NYC!

Photogs spotted the pair leaving Torrisi Bar & Restaurant, with the Rare Beauty founder, 30, dressed in head-to-toe black. Gomez tied her hair up but let her bangs fall loose, and she added a pop of gold with hoop earrings.

Taggart, 33, bundled up in a teal sweatshirt and a pair of jeans featuring butterfly patches over the knees.

The outing is the second the twosome embarked on in one week, as they were seen kissing at a bowling alley on Sunday, January 15, as OK! previously reported.

 

Whether the pair are casually dating or heading towards a committed relationship, a source noted they “aren’t trying to hide” anything and are “having a lot of fun together.”

Shortly after the awards show, she expressed her excitement as she revealed Meryl Streep would be joining Season 3 of the hit Hulu series.

The star has also been feeling better mentally after struggling with depression and bipolar disorder — but she insisted receiving the diagnoses was a good thing.
