Rumors of a relationship between Ed and Selena have been circulating for more than two years. However, according to Irish Mirror, the 24-year-old 'Thinking Out Loud' crooner is smitten by the former Fade Street star.
"Louise and Ed have been friends for years but now they have become a lot closer," a source said. "They are constantly in touch, even when he is on tour, but he is coming here soon for a gig in Dublin and they will be able to catch up then."
Both Louise and Ed are no strangers to their love lives being played out in the public eye.
Louise had cameras follow her personal life for a popular reality television show in which her romantic life was played out on screen.
While Ed Sheeran made headlines worldwide for more than just his music when he was linked to A-listers including Taylor Swift, Ellie Goulding and Selena Gomez.
Sheeran broke up with girlfriend Athina Andrelos in March, after she reportedly told him to keep his distance from the 'Bad Blood' hitmaker Swift.
Johnston's popularity, or lack thereof, might have been a breath of fresh air for Sheeran as the source explains: "The fact that Louise isn't a big star is helping things move along nicely and she is different to some of the other girls he has been linked to."
"Their friendship has built up over years too so it's not as if Louise is a starry- eyed girl. She knows him well and she knows the real Ed long before he was selling out concert stadiums," the source claims.
