The drummer is currently on tour with One Direction in the US, and as reports emerged that Kendall was tagging along as a means to win back ex-boyfriend Harry Styles, it turns out she may have had ulterior motives.
The 18-year-old model was spotted getting into a taxi with the 20-year-old after spending the evening together in New York.
The 'date' comes despite the reality star mixing up Ashton's 5 Seconds of Summer with One Direction whilst introducing them to millions of TV viewers at a recent awards ceremony.
Kendall was also snapped in an Instagram photo by the band’s hairdresser earlier in the evening, with Ashton posing in the background.
This isn’t the first time that Ashton has reportedly been seen ‘getting cosy’ with one of Harry Styles’ main ladies.
Earlier this year, the Aussie star was ‘spotted’ leaving a Dublin hotel room with the 20-year-old’s sister.
Kendall and Harry famously dated for several months over the course of Christmas and New Year, but called it quits allegedly due to their ‘hectic schedules.’
But with friends telling a UK newspaper that Kendall is still hankering after Harry, perhaps her friendship with Ashton is part of her master plan?
A source told the Daily Star: "The few times Kendall's seen Hazza since their split have made her all the more desperate to get her claws into him again.”
"She believes he's 'The One' and has been telling her friends they are meant to be together."
