Selena Gomez spotted holding hands with Samuel Krost

Last month, it was rumored that Selena Gomez was dating One Direction member Niall Horan. But it looks like the rumors are untrue as the singer-actress was recently spotted on a date with Samuel Krost.

According to Entertainment Tonight, the "I Want You to Know" singer and Krost were seen holding hands as they left the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday, Jan. 17. The website reports that the pair had dinner together at the establishment.

In pictures released by the website, Gomez is wearing a form-fitting black dress with spaghetti straps, while Krost wore a white shirt under a black jacket, black jeans, and tan boots. Eyewitnesses told the website that the two dined with friends for about three hours and that they "looked like a couple." They were also photographed holding hands while leaving the hotel.

The former Disney star was first seen with Krost back in November following her appearance at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards. The "Good for You" singer was spotted with Krost and their friend, Cully Smoller, while having dinner at Cipriani in New York City. Later in the evening, Krost and the 23-year-old were seen holding hands as they left the restaurant.

According to his LinkedIn page, Krost graduated Cum Laude from New York University and has a degree in business. He worked for a year at the Sales and Visual Merchandising department of fashion brand Helmut Lang before working for Onia LLC as a Sales and Visual Merchandising Executive. It was reported that Krost is a good friend of model Gigi Hadid, who is also friends with Gomez. It was speculated that Hadid may have introduced the two.

ET reports that Gomez and Krost may have spent some time together over the New Year holiday as he took to Instagram earlier this month to post a picture of Gomez and a few friends at the beach.
