There’s something about Italian summer that gets us all hot under the collar – and this time, it’s Nina Dobrev and Zac Efron at the centre of the discussion.
The pair were recently spotted holidaying along the Amalfi Coast with a close-knit group of friends, and the internet is now wild with speculation.
So are the rumours actually true?
Are Nina Dobrev & Zac Efron Dating?
Fresh off her breakup from fiancé Shaun White, the 36-year-old Dobrev appeared relaxed on deck, paddle boarding and basking in the sun with friends.
Efron, 37, debuted his beach blonde hair and a toned new look, only adding to the whispers. And before we all start mulling over their “ship” name, this is being touted as a friends-only vacation—the pair were also joined by Chace Crawford and his girlfriend Kelsey Merritt, as well as Miles Teller and Keleigh Sperry.
Keleigh shared a pic of the group together, and as per the Daily Mail there are some pics of Nina and Zac chatting amongst the group.
Insiders say there is no truth to the dating rumours. A source told Pedestrian the holiday is “just a post-breakup getaway with good vibes” and emphasised that nothing romantically official “currently exists”.

What Happened To Nina Dobrev & Shaun White?
The Italian trip comes not long after Dobrev quietly split from Olympic snowboarder, Shaun White. The pair were engaged after four years together but called it quits earlier this year.
For Nina, a source claims the getaway reads as a reset, the sun, sea and support from her friends is all she needs.
Is Zac Efron Currently Dating?
As for Efron, the actor has kept his personal life under wraps. While he’s been linked to a few names in the past few years, he hasn’t confirmed any new relationship.
His yacht holiday is one of his rare public appearances, but the visual is clear – for now, this is about friendship, Aperol Spritzes, and a little light-hearted speculation.
Who Did Nina Dobrev & Zac Efron Date Previously?
Both actors have had high-profile romances in the past. Dobrev previously dated The Vampire Diaries co-star Ian Somerhalder before her four-year relationship with Shaun White.
Efron, meanwhile was famously linked to High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens and more recently to Australian model Vanessa Valladares. With love lives that have often made headlines, it’s no surprise their Italian yacht trip has sparked a lot of intrigue.
