Nina Dobrev and Zac Efron were photographed getting close and cozy following the actress’s split from her fiancé, Shaun White.
The Disney alum was spotted nearly hovering over the “Vampire Diaries” actress while she was on her phone during their yacht vacation with friends off the coast of the Italian island of Sardinia on Wednesday.
They laughed and appeared to be engaging in light flirtatious conversation together, with Efron smiling at Dobrev as she spoke.
The duo’s friends stood nearby, but it’s unclear if they were involved in the small talk.
At one point, Dobrev, 36, and Efron, 37, continued laughing as they turned away from each other.
The “Perks of Being a Wallflower” star donned a floral sundress and styled her brunette locks in loose waves.
For Efron’s part, he kept it casual in a button-down shirt and khaki pants, accessorizing with a backward hat.
The “High School Musical” actor and Dobrev’s reps weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
Their friendly encounter comes after news broke on Sept. 11 that Dobrev had called it quits from White after five years together and nearly one year engaged.
An insider told People that their split was “mutual,” while another told the Daily Mail that the athlete wanted a family and the “Final Girls” star wanted to focus on her career.
The “Let’s Be Cops” star, however, seemingly jetted off on vacation when the news was revealed.
Dobrev appeared in good spirits while soaking up the sun on the vessel alongside Efron, Miles and Keleigh Teller and “Gossip Girl” alum Chace Crawford on Thursday.
She flaunted her figure in several bikinis while posing with Keleigh, 32, in several Instagram snaps shared on the latter’s profile.
One group shot even showed the A-list celebrities posing together on the yacht before later hitting the town.
However, another photo obtained by TMZ showed Dobrev and the model appearing sad as they embraced each other.
Efron, meanwhile, turned heads as he noticeably stepped out with his new bleached-blond hairstyle the same day via photos obtained by Page Six.
The “Summerland” alum was in and out of the water and was later seen under the outdoor shower as Dobrev casually walked behind him.
