Nina Dobrev Is Dating Austin Stowell

Nina Dobrev's not so single for summer!
The Vampire Diaries star, 26, is dating Austin Stowell, according to reports. Dobrev and the Whiplash actor, 30, were spotted getting cozy at the Hallmark Shoebox Relaunch in West Hollywood, California, on Wednesday.

"Nina looked very happy to have a night out with her new guy," a source told Us Weekly, adding that the new couple shared a kiss. Dobrev, who exited the CW show this year, was also overheard saying she is "really enjoying" living in L.A. after relocating from Atlanta where Vampire Diaries was shot.

Dobrev and Stowell sort of went public on social media a few weeks ago. The duo attended a dinner at Aaron and Lauren Paul's house held in honor of Lauren's Kind Campaign and it appeared to be a couple's only kind of night.

Depending on how it plays out, this could be the first serious relationship for Nina since splitting with former co-star Ian Somerhalder two years ago. He married Twilight alum Nikki Reed in April, which Dobrev was totally cool with. She also had a brief fling with Derek Hough.
