Selena Gomez and Niall Horan were spotted together at the Santa Monica pier on Saturday, Dec. 5. According to Mirror.co, the two were seen with friends as they rode the rollercoaster and other rides at the amusement park.

In a video posted on the Daily Mail, the stars were both casually dressed as the One Direction member donned black jeans, a black jacket, and glasses with black frames for the outing, while the former Disney star was dressed in a black coat and black jeans. In the video, Horan can be seen holding Gomez's hand as they made their way past a group of excited fans on the pier.

Dating rumors about the pair started circulating when a report claimed that the two were seen getting cozy at Jenna Dewan Tatum's 35th birthday party at Bootsy Bellows in Los Angeles on Friday, Dec. 4. According to an E! Online source, the two came to the party together and were seen kissing.

"They tried their best to keep to themselves in their private booth behind the DJ table in the main room but that was not happening," said the source, adding that they were seen kissing "by a handful of people." The two were said to have left the venue together along with a big group of their friends.

Before going to Dewan-Tatum's party, E! reports that both Gomez and One Direction performed earlier that night at 102.7 KIIS FM's 2015 Jingle Ball at Staples Center. Another source told E! that Horan stayed late to watch the "I Want You to Know" singer perform her set and that they left the venue at the same time.

While Gomez and Horan have yet to confirm if they are dating or not, Gomez appears to have shown her preference for One Direction's music over her ex Justin Bieber's new songs. According to Glamour, a fan asked Gomez on Instagram which album to get for her friend as the friend is both a fan of the British boy band and the "Sorry" singer.

"Which one to get him? Purpose or Made in the AM?" the fan wrote.

Gomez responded, "Made in the AM," recommending One Direction's newest album to the fan.
