Selena Gomez tells UK radio station Key 3 that she loves Zayn Malik and hinted that she would like to collaborate with him in the future.

The former One Direction boy band member followed Gomez on Twitter, so reporters asked her what's going on with him, according to Perez Hilton.

"I know Zayn, so it's almost like if he would ever want to reach out, he knows that he could," Gomez said.

"I don't know what he's doing creatively. I think that's so exciting for him to go and figure out what he wants to do, but I don't know what that is. I think it'll be pretty exciting, but yes. I love him, he's awesome!" she added.

The singer told Yahoo News that she was not even aware that Zayn had followed her on Twitter.

"I had no idea what that was until somebody else asked me, and obviously I know Zayn so it's not a weird thing," she said. "I didn't know who follows me, I don't update my thing or check anything, so thanks for the follow Zayn."

She added that she will follow him back but has yet to make that move.

The "Come and Get it" singer also revealed that she would like to work with Chris Brown.

"I'm a huge Chris Brown fan. He's known that," she admitted. "I've known him throughout the years, but if there's an opportunity for us to do something later, of course - because he's so talented, you know?"

Meanwhile she's working on her new album "Revival" which is set to hit stores on Oct. 9.

Will we see a collaboration with Chris Breezy and Selena in the future? Making a song with Zayn Malik may be in the works as well. First, she needs to follow him back on Twitter so we know it's real.
