Nina Dobrev is fueling fresh dating rumors after being spotted spending time with model and entrepreneur Dougie Joseph in New York City.
The actress was recently photographed enjoying a casual stroll through Manhattan alongside Joseph, prompting fans to speculate about the nature of their relationship. While some observers believe the pair could simply be close friends, others are wondering whether a new romance may be blossoming.
Interest in the pair grew after fans noticed that Dobrev and Joseph follow each other on social media. Some also pointed to a social media post Joseph shared earlier this year that referenced “Bulgarians,” which sparked playful speculation due to Dobrev’s Bulgarian heritage. However, there is no indication that the post was related to the actress.
Joseph is known not only for his work as a model but also as the co-founder of a men’s skincare company. He has built a growing presence in both the fashion and business worlds.
Dobrev has largely kept her personal life private since ending her engagement to former Olympic snowboarder Shaun White in September 2025 after five years together. Following the breakup, she was briefly linked to another high-profile celebrity, though she later dismissed the rumors and clarified that they were simply friends.
Neither Dobrev nor Joseph has commented on the recent speculation, leaving fans guessing whether their New York outing was a friendly meet-up or something more.
For now, the pair’s relationship status remains unconfirmed, but the sighting has certainly captured the attention of fans eager to know if Dobrev has found a new romance.
