THE RUNDOWN
- Nina Dobrev and Zac Efron sparked intrigue about their relationship in September 2025 after they were spotted vacationing on a yacht in Italy with their friends Chace Crawford, Miles Teller, and Keleigh Teller.
- A source clarified that Dobrev and Efron are “not dating and have been good friends for over a decade.”
- Dobrev is newly single after ending her engagement to Shaun White.
Nina Dobrev and Zac Efron’s relationship has gotten attention during their Italian vacation, but a source shut down rumors there is anything romantic going on between them. Both stars are publicly single, with Dobrev and her ex Shaun White having recently ended their engagement.
On September 22, a source told Us Weekly, “Nina and Zac are not dating and have been good friends for over a decade. Their friends always joke that they should date, but that is not what is going on. They have been there for each other through many phases of life and have always had each other’s back.”
The insider also shared that Dobrev “has been leaning on her family and friends recently” after her recent breakup.
“She has truly felt a lot of love and support,” the source said. “Everyone has been lifting her spirits, and she has been in a better place after taking some time away following her split from Shaun.”
Speculation about Dobrev and Efron’s connection began last week after they were spotted on a yacht in Italy with friends Chace Crawford, Miles Teller, and Keleigh Teller. Over the weekend, they attended the wedding of tech billionaire Brad Garlinghouse in the south of France, per The Daily Mail.
