Oh captain, my captain: Is Selena dating Chris Evans?

CRUSHING: Selena Gomez, 29
Fans are going bos with rumours that Selena Gomez and Chris Evans are dating.
It all started when the 40-year-old actor started following the 29-year-old singer on Instagram last Friday, especially considering the Captain America star follows fewer than 200 people on the social media platform.
Though the pair have never been publicly seen together, the online connection has people talking.
Selena fans will recall that she’s previously opened about having a major crush on the hunky actor.
In 2015, while appearing as a guest on Watch What Happens Live, a viewer called in to ask Selena who her “number one celebrity crush” was.
Her answer was none other than Captain America himself, and she started to blush almost immediately.
“Oh man, he’s either gonna hate me or love me,” she told host Andy Cohen after realising that she put her feelings out in the open.
After rumours of the Selena and Chris dating started making the rounds on social media, fans quickly got behind the possible couple.
One excited fan tweeted: “YALL SELENA GOMEZ AND CHRIS EVANS ARE RUMOURED TO BE DATING!!!! THAT’S A HOT COUPLE RIGHT THERE!!”
