The Truth Behind Nina Dobrev & Zac Efron’s Viral Yacht Photos- Fans went wild after photos of Nina Dobrev and Zac Efron socializing on a yacht with friends—including Miles Teller, Keleigh Teller, Chace Crawford, and Kelsey Merritt—circulated online. Were they more than friends? Not quite.

A source tells Us Weekly the pair “are not dating and have been good friends for over a decade.” While their conversations onboard sparked speculation, their longtime friendship and Dobrev leaning on friends after her split from Shaun White explain the closeness.

Everybody knows that if celebrities want to hide something while on a yacht charter, they often turn off AIS, making it harder for fans and paparazzi to track their location.

In this case, the fact that their location was visible suggests they weren’t trying to hide any date - they were simply showing their friendship. And, of course, friendship can be a very good source of paparazzi photos.

Dobrev and White ended their five-year engagement recently, reportedly due to differing life goals. The source explained, “Shaun was ready for marriage and kids, while Nina was focused on her acting career.”

For now, Dobrev is enjoying the support of friends and family.
