Over the past six months, it seems like Zayn Malik is always making headlines for one reason or another, first for suddenly leaving the boy band where he became a star, One Direction, and later because of his numerous Twitter spats - could Rita Ora be dating him now?

Only a few weeks back, Malik and Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards broke off their engagement after he reportedly ended things with her via text message; now, after Malik has been spotted with Calvin Harris' ex a number of times in the past few days, rumor has it Rita Ora's dating him.

According to The Daily Mail, rumors that Rita Ora's dating Malik began a few days back, when the two were spotted having a "low-key" dinner date in Los Angeles, not long after the judge of the United Kingdom's "X-Factor" admitted that she thought her fellow singer was "gorgeous."

Until only a few weeks back, Rita Ora's dating life was all about Ricky Hilfiger, the son of fashion designer Tommy, but the two ended their relationship reportedly on amicable terms, as Ora's apparently focusing more and more on her career and they couldn't meet eye to eye when it came to schedules.

Billboard reports that the "Body On Me" singer recently denied rumors that Rita Ora's dating Malik, as she spoke to Capital FM radio a few days back saying that while she found him very attractive, it just "can't happen" because of the fact that they're both managed by the same team, Turn First Artists.

While they're apparently not dating right now, it's not because they don't want to, as an insider recently told Hollywood Life that Zayn would go out with Rita "in a heartbeat" and he's always had a crush on her - so now that they're both single, he's definitely going to try to make a move!

So while Rita Ora's dating life doesn't include Malik just yet, it might very soon!
