The speculations heightened after Nina Dobrev and Austin Stowell's photobooth pictures caught attention. The rumoured couple reportedly hung out together on May 11, 2015 and took tons of pictures. Nina Dobrev posted these photos on her Instagram account and captioned it: "#dontmindusjustpassingthru #vagabondbandits #chasingadventure #Gypsy5OnARide"

If the reports are true, this will be Nina Dobrev's first relationship after she broke up with her newly married ex Ian Somerhalder. Meanwhile, fans must note that the report lacks official comments from the associated persons and their representatives. Thus it is wise to take the information with grain of salt. At the same time, the actress has been romantically linked with several male celebrities.

Last week, reports claimed that Nina Dobrev is dating Selena Gomez's ex DJ Zedd. Another report by Hollywood Life alleged that Nina Dobrev was snapped cozying to Zedd.

"Zedd thinks Nina is hot and would date her in a heartbeat. A few things are holding stuff back. He is scared to be in the tabloids again and she doesn't want to upset Selena," an insider told the aforementioned publication.

Nina Dobrev was also rumoured to be dating "The Vampire Diaries" (TVD) co-star Chris Wood and Michael Trevino, among others. But none of the reports were confirmed by the people involved.
