Nina Dobrev appears to be living her best life following her split from former fiancé Shaun White, sharing a glamorous glimpse of her New Year celebrations aboard a luxury yacht in a sun-drenched location.
A Glamorous New Year Getaway
The actress, 36, posted a carousel of images and video to Instagram captioned 'Final days of 2025', showcasing her holiday with a group of friends. The party included rumoured girlfriend of ex Glen Powell, Michelle Randolph, and TV personality Alix Earle, according to a report by People magazine.
Dobrev was seen enjoying the sunshine on deck in a variety of swimwear, from a string bikini to a black two-piece paired with a sarong. One particularly eye-catching shot featured the 'Vampire Diaries' star in a fuchsia flower-print bikini that highlighted her toned physique.
Fun in the Sun with Friends
The social media posts painted a picture of a fun-filled escape. Dobrev also shared a clip of herself modelling a intricately embroidered black and white mini-dress, twisting in front of a mirror. Further snaps showed her and her girlfriends relaxing in white robes, while male friends joked around in swim trunks and snorkel masks.
The group even participated in a Pilates session on the yacht's bow. The luxurious vessel featured amenities like a jacuzzi and a pool, providing the perfect backdrop for the winter holiday.
Moving On From a Five-Year Relationship
Dobrev's festive holiday comes in the wake of her highly publicised breakup with Olympic snowboarder Shaun White. News broke in early September 2025 that the pair had ended their five-year relationship and called off their engagement.
The couple, who got together during the COVID-19 pandemic, got engaged in October 2024 with a five-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond ring. However, insiders suggested disagreements about future family plans led to the split. One source told People, 'She wanted a family and wanted to get married - and he didn't.' Other sources insisted the split was mutual and that there was no bad blood.
While Dobrev has been soaking up the sun, White was reportedly among the guests at Kate Hudson's star-studded New Year's Eve party in Aspen. In November, he was photographed chatting with model Brooks Nader in New York City, sparking rumours.
For now, Nina Dobrev's Instagram feed suggests she is firmly focused on fun, friendship, and ringing in the new year in style, seemingly without looking back.
