Ariana Grande has been spotted at the same restaurant as Niall Horan when they both attended Aflredo Flores’ birthday party in Barcelona. The bash came days after she blasted the rumors that they are dating.
She will conveniently be performing in Barcelona on June 16, while Niall took a bit of a detour to attend the shindig, making a pit stop in Spain ahead of One Direction’s show in Denmark.
Ariana made it clear that she is not dating the One Direction singer but pointing out that it does not mean that they can't be friends.
The 21-year-old even went on a feminist rampage after speculation about the nature of their friendship.
She told The Sun on Sunday: "A girl can be friends with something with a d**k and not hop on it. We live in a horrendously one-track-minded world."
"I'm tired of needing to be linked to a guy. I'm not Big Sean's ex, I'm not Niall's possible girl. I'm Ariana Grande. If that's not enough, then don't talk to me!"
The rumors still continued after the pop princess was seen leaving Niall's home aroung 3 AM after partying together.
Later that day, they were spotted together again, reuniting for a shopping trip and another late night rendezvous at the 'Break Free' singer's hotel.
While she has slammed the reports, the former Nickelodeon star has still been full of kind words for the 21-year-old 1D singer.
"It's honestly been so fun being in the UK. I had my show and went dancing with my dancers," she told Mirror Celebs.
"My friend Fredo is really close with Niall and he came to my show in London, I met him there, he was super nice. We then all went over [to Niall's] for a game night, it was really fun."
Ariana and her team have denied speculation that she and Niall are dating, but considering how much they’ve been hanging out lately, fans are still hoping for a romance.
