Are Niall Horan and Selena Gomez Dating?

Today this photo emerged of One Direction’s Niall Horan and Selena Gomez hanging out together in London. Now fans are wondering if the two are dating. While some fans are saddened at the thought, others are taking over Twitter, shipping the two. For those who are unfamiliar with the term “shipping,” Wikipedia describes it as:

Shipping, derived from the word relationship, is the belief that two people, fictional or non-fictional, would be interesting or believable (or are, or will be, or should be) in a romantic relationship.

So, are the two stars dating or not is the question … Whatever the case, until we get some hard evidence, we’re going to chalk it up to rumors as always and go with “no,” but we’ll update you if anything changes.
