Nina Dobrev and Zac Efron, who have been friends for a long time, were seen looking comfortable and showing off their great physiques while enjoying a yacht trip with friends off the coast of Sardinia this weekend.
News broke last week that Nina Dobrev, 36, and her fiancé, Olympic snowboarder Shaun White, have ended their relationship.
She was recently seen looking affectionate with Zac on a boat near Italy, leading to speculation she’s moving on with him after a previous relationship.
The rumors continued to swirl after they were seen together again on Saturday, looking lovingly at each other and standing very close.
It was clear they had a strong connection as they chatted and laughed together on the deck, watching the beautiful sunset over the Mediterranean Sea.
Throughout the day, Nina and Zac showed off their fit bodies while wearing swimwear. Nina wore a bikini with a sarong, and Zac had on just swim trunks and sunglasses, which were soaked with water.
As the sun began to set, Nina looked chic in a short, floral dress. The dress had a low neckline and showed just a hint of her figure as she enjoyed the fresh sea air.
She wore her dark hair down, letting it cascade over her shoulders, and finished the look with delicate earrings.
Zac covered his muscular build with a loose-fitting, white, short-sleeved button-down shirt and olive green pants.
He had ash-blonde hair that didn’t quite match his dark stubble, and he was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses to further shield his face from the sun.
Chace Crawford, 40, known from *Gossip Girl*, and his girlfriend, model Kelsey Merritt, 28, were also at the event and seemed very affectionate with each other.
I remember when everyone started speculating about them back in November 2024! It was so exciting, but they didn’t actually confirm anything on Instagram until July. That’s when it felt real, you know?
Actor Miles Teller, 38, and his wife, Keleigh Sperry, 32, were also on the boat. They all appeared to be having a great time enjoying the Mediterranean sun, drinks, and swimming in the clear water.
It was clear that Nina and Keleigh got along well during the yacht trip, as they were often seen together.
While getting off the ship to see the sights, Nina playfully posed for a photo Keleigh took with her phone.
On the trip, Keleigh wore a long, floral sundress with a low-cut neckline.
Keleigh completed her look with a woven Chanel bag and a sparkling necklace, and used delicate makeup to highlight her pretty features.
The group happily played on the deck of their yacht while enjoying the sunshine, all wearing swimsuits.
Zac, Miles, and Chace showed off their fit physiques while relaxing in swim trunks and enjoying the sun.
The actor from The Iron Claw showed off his muscular physique and confidently walked across the pool deck, his wet swim trunks stuck to his legs.
A group of popular young men posed for a photo near the ship’s railing, taken by Keleigh.
She wore a bright red swimsuit and topped it off with a straw hat – a little bit of style to protect her from the sun.
Keleigh and Miles recently celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary.
On Thursday, Sperry shared a collection of photos on social media, showcasing their time on a luxurious yacht. The photos included one of Nina Dobrev and Zac Efron.
‘Can Nina and Chase start dating,’ one fan commented underneath the post.
Another wrote: ‘Nina living that best life.’
Someone else commented that it was wonderful to see Nina surrounded by love and care from her friends and family, and expressed gratitude for everyone looking after her, saying she deserves all the happiness in the world.
Okay, so someone just said it out loud – it *has* to be something seriously bad Shaun did for everyone to be taking her side! Like, REALLY bad. I mean, Shaun White is practically untouchable, so for the whole crew to turn on him… wow. It’s gotta be huge!
Zac and Nina first appeared together publicly at a basketball game in 2010, though it’s unclear when they initially became friends.
While working on The Vampire Diaries, she and choreographer Julianne Hough also enjoyed a bowling outing, as reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
News of Nina’s recent appearance follows rumors that she and her former fiancé were considering starting a family.
Both individuals desired to start a family, and neither wanted it more than the other, according to a source who spoke with Us Weekly on Wednesday. This clarifies that disagreements about having children weren’t the cause of any issues between them.
Another source shared with the Weekly that the actress was eager to marry Shaun and begin a family with him.
Last week, the longtime couple called it quits, less than a year after announcing their engagement.
According to a source, the couple’s decision to separate was a difficult one. The source said the split was amicable and based on mutual love and respect, and that they continue to support each other even though they’re moving forward separately.
White and Dobrev frequently shared moments from their relationship with their fans, whether they were traveling internationally or cheering each other on in their respective careers.
In January 2024, Dobrev shared that they enjoy having a weekly date night, and they take turns planning it.
We take turns planning dates for each other, keeping them a complete surprise. One week it’s my turn, the next it’s his, and we’ve been doing this every week,” she excitedly told People magazine.
Dobrev said these unique moments help keep their relationship lively and provide dedicated time for them to connect.
She pointed out that he spent a lot of time traveling the world, seeking out mountains to train at both before and during the Olympics.
Throughout most of our relationship, I did the traveling to visit him, but that changed during the Covid pandemic when I was temporarily unemployed.
In October, she revealed White popped the question by writing: ‘RIP boyfriend, hello fiancé.’
Meanwhile, White took to his social media to proudly declare: ‘She said YES!’
Pictures captured the heartwarming moment when White proposed to Dobrev, getting down on one knee with a stunning five-carat ring designed by Lorraine Schwartz. Dobrev looked completely surprised, covering her mouth in shock.
After accepting his proposal, they shared a sweet embrace, with White lifting her off her feet.
White went to extraordinary lengths to make the proposal happen.
His earlier attempts to propose didn’t work out, so he decided to propose in late October at The Golden Swan, a restaurant in New York.
He playfully hid the engagement ring all over the house before proposing, stashing it in places like the tool shed and even the sock drawer.
Dobrev hadn’t been feeling great before the proposal and chose to stay home to rest, as he had a trip to Africa planned soon.
Not giving up, White moved forward with his proposal plans. He had his publicist create a false invitation to a private dinner with Anna Wintour, hoping to lure Dobrev to the restaurant where he intended to propose.
‘He made the invite look so legitimate,’ she told Vogue at the time.
The actress from The Vampire Diaries even prepared for a photoshoot, believing a magazine was organizing it, but it turned out White had arranged the whole thing as a surprise.
As a lifestyle expert, I know how important timing is, especially at events! So when Dobrev was a few minutes late, it definitely caused a little buzz. Vogue events are known for starting *exactly* on schedule, so we were all a bit on edge until she arrived.
‘I was in a panic that Anna was waiting for me,’ she shared.
The restaurant was completely silent when she got there, which made her even more worried about being late.
Once she entered the restaurant, however, White and a photographer were the only people inside.
I was completely stunned. I just stood there, staring, before realizing how incredibly happy I was.
Meanwhile, Efron’s last public romance was with Australian model Vanessa Valladares.
Reports say the actor met Valladares in June 2020 through a coworker at the General Store café in Byron Bay, and they connected right away.
Two months after the initial reports, Daily Mail Australia reported that Zac Efron had cancelled his flight back to Los Angeles, telling people he simply didn’t want to return.
Within weeks, the couple had moved in together in Byron Bay.
A few months later, Efron appeared to confirm their relationship when they were seen holding hands in public.
In late 2020 and early 2021, I had the amazing opportunity to travel around Australia with my partner, supporting him as he worked on different projects. It was a fantastic experience getting to see the country while he pursued his career!
News of their split became public in April 2021 when Zac Efron’s friend, Kyle Sandilands, revealed on his radio show that Efron had told him they’d broken up.
Before he started dating his current partner, he had relationships with several of his colleagues, such as Vanessa Hudgens, Alexandra Daddario, and Lily Collins.
Over the years, he’s admitted that ‘dating is kind of hard.’
He described feeling really uncomfortable in awkward situations, especially for him. He explained that he prefers to be out doing adventurous or even wild things, as he shared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2016.
That same year, he confessed he’s had bad luck with dating apps.
He told the U.K. Times he was surprised that no one swiped right on his Tinder profile, and people actually thought it was a fake account.
