One Direction hunk Harry Styles enjoyed a secret dinner date with Kendall Jenner.

The singer - who split with Taylor Swift in January before being linked to model Cara Delevingne - was spotted enjoying a cosy meal with the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star inside Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood on Wednesday night, sparking speculation the pair are now dating. The couple made a swift exit from the posh restaurant through the back door in a bid to keep their date under wraps, but Harry, 20, was later pictured driving Kendall, 18, home in a black Range Rover.

According to Unreality TV, Kendall - who is the younger sister of Kim Kardashian - struck up a close friendship with Harry when they met at The X Factor studio, when One Direction recorded their performance for tonight's show.

The pair chose to keep the news of their dinner date from their Twitter followers, with Harry simply tweeting, "In the ciiiiityyyyyyyyy... [sic]."

But it wasn't long before Kendall became the envy of teenage girls who took to the social-networking site to express their anger over the rendezvous. "If kendall jenner and harry styles date i will literally shoot myself in the face that is the fakest thing i have ever heard [sic]," one Twitter user posted.

"Harry and Kendall Jenner definitely don't approve of that one," another wrote.

Kendall - who is forging a modeling career alongside her reality TV show - split from her high-school boyfriend Julian Brooks earlier this year. It was reported last month that she was dating 21-year-old rapper Young Jinsu, but she took to Twitter to deny the claims by insisting she was single.
