Nina Dobrev Says She and Zac Efron Are 'Just Mates' After Split From Shaun White

Her on-camera comment follows photos with the actor on a European trip that prompted speculation.

Overview

  • Dobrev told TMZ at LAX on Oct. 1 that she and Efron are just friends, adding she is excited for the future and noting that change is the only guarantee.
  • Speculation grew in September after they were photographed together at Brad Garlinghouse’s wedding in the South of France and on a yacht off Sardinia with mutual friends.
  • People confirmed on Sept. 11 that Dobrev and Shaun White ended their engagement after five years together, with a source calling it a mutual decision.
  • Unnamed sources quoted across outlets have repeatedly described Dobrev and Efron as longtime friends rather than a couple.
