Years after singer-actor Selena Gomez once called Hollywood star Chris Evans her celebrity crush, fans have speculated whether the two actors are dating. While neither Gomez nor the 'Avengers: Endgame' actor has publicly commented on the fan theories, eagle-eyed social media sleuths have shared several clues on Twitter and TikTok that seemingly allude to a new Hollywood coupling, reported Us Weekly.
"BRO I AM NOT MAD ABOUT THIS RUMOUR SELENA GOMEZ AND CHRIS EVANS ARE SUCH A POWER COUPLE," one fan tweeted on Thursday after the romance speculation went viral.
Another fan noted via Twitter, "Honestly if someone was going to date my man chris evans then I'm glad it's Selena Gomez."
Shortly after the photos were published via the social media platform, fans also noticed that the 'Gifted' star had started following the 'Lose You to Love Me' crooner on Instagram.
While this is the first time the pair have sparked dating rumours, the 'Wizards of Waverly Place' alum's fans freaked out about the potential coupling after she once admitted that she was interested in the Massachusetts native.
"I kind of have a crush on Chris Evans. Isn't he cute? He's very cute," Gomez noted during a 2015 appearance on ‘Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen’ when she was asked about her love life. After Andy Cohen noted that his "gay brother" bartended on WWHL one week earlier, she excitedly added, "Really? Last week? Maybe it's meant to be."
The 2015 interview was the "first time" she ever addressed her crush on the 'Captain America: The First Avenger' star publicly before noting, "Oh man, he's either going to hate me or love me."
The former child star previously opened up about her single status earlier this year after rumours swirled that she was dating her 'Only Murders in the Building' costar Aaron Dominguez. -ANI
