Last week the Fetish singer was spotted walking next to Zayn’s personal assistant Taryn Zimmerman in New York City.
The ladies were side-by-side outside the Japanese restaurant Nobu.
This comes just days before the Only Murders In The Building star was spotted on a secret date with Malik, 30.

She was spotted with her phone tucked into the front pocket of the jacket.
For her bag of choice, she carried a black, quilted tote purse with gold hardware on her shoulder.
To finish off the look, she sported a pair of chunky, black platform boots. She accessorized with a pair of gold, dangling chain earrings.
The former Disney star tied her raven black tresses in a casual updo and modeled a sultry makeup look.
She rocked a dark cut crease eyeshadow look with smoked out winged eyeliner and a glossy pink pout.

Dinner date: The Only Murders In The Building star was spotted leaving the celebrity-frequented sushi joint, Nobu, with Zimmerman just days before being spotted on a secret date with Malik
Malik’s personal assistant — whose social media she has appeared on a number of times in the past — wore a cream, trench coat over a black T-shirt and light gray jeans.
She sported a pair of black, cage platform sandals and carried a small, Adidas crossbody purse.
Just a few days after their outing, a TikTok user reported spotting Selena and Zayn on a secret dinner date in New York City.
According to the source and her friend who worked at the restaurant, the pair walked in holding hands and were seen enjoying quite a bit of PDA.
A source told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: ‘Selena and Zayn went out in SoHo in New York City last night at around 10:30 pm. They walked in holding hands and were kissing. Most restaurant staff and restaurant-goers didn’t notice them. It seemed like they were comfortable together and it was clear that it was a date.’
This comes after claims Malik wants to ‘see where things go’ with Gomez.
The pop star – who has two-year-old daughter Khai with ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid – is thought to have begun dating Selena, and although the pair are not ‘super serious’ at the moment, he thinks she is ‘incredible’ and reportedly wants to see how things pan out.

A source told Us Weekly: ‘Zayn has known Selena for years and he’s definitely into her. He’s always admired her and thinks she’s an incredible person, inside and out. They aren’t super serious and she’s free to see other people. However, Zayn would love to continue to see Selena and see where things go.’
The insider went on to explain that the former One Direction singer has been ‘focused on himself’ since splitting from Gigi in October 2021 but when it comes to his potential future with Selena – who has previously dated The Weeknd (who used to date Gigi’s ex Bella Hadid) – he is feeling ‘optimistic’ although there is no ‘pressure’ on the situation.
The source added: ‘He’s been focused on himself these past few years and feels like he’s ready to date again. He’s feeling optimistic about the possibility of things growing between him and Selena but isn’t putting any pressure on the situation. He’d rather just let things progress organically and believes she feels the same.’
