Selena and Drew enjoyed a romantic dinner at Torrisi Bar & Restaurant in Soho before leaving with their fingers crossed, according to Us Weekly.
It was their second date in a week, as the couple knocked over some skittles at a bowling alley days earlier, prompting Gomez to declare “#iamsingle” in a since-deleted Instagram post.
Wild speculation had swirled around the couple, prompting Gomez to confront the rumors head-on earlier by sharing 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” to get her point across and end the rumours.
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,” with a source claiming that their dates stemmed from “bowling and [going] to the movies.’
A source further revealed, “Selena and Drew have an amazing bond. They’re so glad they took the courage to jump in and try it out.”
The insider went on to say that they “are both very much in love with each other,” adding that Selena thinks Drew is “such a nice guy” and she “loves that about him.”

New couples alert: This latest Instagram post follows singer Lose You To Love Me, who held hands with The Chainsmokers’ Drew Taggart in New York City last month. A source for US Weekly recently shared that they have “an amazing connection.”
The ‘Only Murders in the Building’ actress and the ‘Something Just Like This’ singer are reportedly keeping their dates very casual, with the insider adding that the “couple is having a lot of fun” together.
Before he started dating the Wizards of Waverly Place alum, Drew was reportedly dating Eve Jobs, Steve Jobs’ youngest daughter.
The relationship started out as a “casual summer fling,” but fizzled out after a few months before he pursued Selena, leading to Eve mysteriously deactivating her Instagram.
The My Mind & Me hitmaker was known to date Justin Bieber from 2011 to 2018 and had short-lived relationships with Niall Horan, Charlie Puth and The Weeknd.
Selena’s new makeup-free selfies come after her social media followers pointed out that her hands “shook” in a recent makeup tutorial, forcing Gomez to reiterate that she has lupus.
The My Mind & Me star shared a clip on TikTok last month showing off her makeup and skincare routine, but at one point in the video her hands seemed unsteady.
Gomez later clarified that the tremors were actually a side effect of her lupus medication, commenting, “Lol I’m shaking because of my lupus medication. Also read my disclaimer. I’m not a profi [laughing face emoji].’
The Calm Down singer was diagnosed with lupus back in 2014 and underwent a kidney transplant in 2017 because of the disease.

In an interview with Jay Shetty, Selena spoke about loving others and herself, saying, “Being in moments of my life, be it my health or my personal life, friendships, relationships, I feel like it’s fair to me giving completely is the best way I can love.’
She added: “But I never wanted the pain I had to endure to protect me and my armor in any way, if you will. And I never have, I never allowed that because I still believe and I still hope, I hope for love and I hope for healing and I hope for change.’
Gomez went on to explain that she would “rather continue to break my heart than not feel at all,” describing how a “super public” breakup helped her gain confidence.
The “Love You Like a Love Song” singer said, “I would probably say that I started gaining that confidence when I was going through a breakup and that was something that was very public…”
Describing how she wanted to “debunk” why she felt “so bad” about herself, Selena said that “the greatest gift” from that process was “actually being honest with people.”
She said: “I wanted to take control of this narrative because that’s how I felt. But the greatest gift I got from all of this was being honest with people. sharing my story and gaining the confidence to know that I am enough…’
Selena continued that she “works really hard to be a good person,” and discussed how she can turn pain, loss, and adversity into positive learning experiences.
“I always say that the break and every moment that you come across in your life is a blessing,” she said. “There is no perfect way to heal. There is no perfect way to deal with anything.’
