Taylor Swift was spotted out and about this weekend with the man who is reportedly her newest love interest.

The couple looked casual as they walked the park's grounds and enjoyed one another's company. Swift wore jeans with a plum coat and bright yellow scarf, while Styles paired his jeans with a denim shirt, a green coat and a dark beanie on his head.

Rumblings of a romance between the couple started to make the rounds in tabloids and gossip magazines after they were spotted together on the set of "The X Factor" last month.

Co-host Mario Lopez, who shares his duties with co-host Khloe Kardashian, gave the audience the scoop about Swift and Styles' time together, which he witnessed first hand during rehearsals for the "X Factor" live taping.

"Taylor Swift was the special guest performer, and [here's] a little inside scoop for you," Lopez said. "During rehearsals, Harry from One Direction came and slapped me on the back, and said, 'Hey, Mario, how ya doing?' And I said, 'What are you doing here?' And he sort of [pointed] toward Taylor."

Lopez went on to give a little more gossip about the couple, adding that the pair "walked off hand in hand" when Lopez saw them together.

"So Taylor Swift and Harry from One Direction — you heard it here first. [They're] officially hanging out, I can say that much," Lopez said.

Neither Swift nor Styles has made any public comment on the relationship yet, but fans on the Internet took their date in Central Park as a sign that something is certainly brewing between them.
