Nina Dobrev was reportedly seen flirting with a mystery man during a Sundance Film Festival 2026 party, months after her split from former fiancé Shaun White, according to a new report.

The actor attended the festival to support her friend Zoey Deutch at the premiere of the film Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity S*x Pass. In a January 28 report, Page Six cited a source who claimed that Dobrev was “flirting hard” with a man she met at one of the festival’s parties.

According to the source, the man was described as having a moustache and wearing a beanie, and was referred to as “hot AF.” Another insider told the outlet, “She went up to him and asked what he was doing there. Then they swapped numbers.” No further details about the individual were disclosed.

Dobrev had been in a relationship with Olympic snowboarder Shaun White for five years. The couple announced their split in September 2025, ending their engagement. Since then, Dobrev has been sharing moments from her social life, including time spent with close friends and family.

Earlier this month, the actor celebrated her birthday with a party attended by several friends, including Deutch. During her trip to Utah for Sundance, Dobrev also shared a series of images and videos on Instagram on January 27.

The post included footage of her snowboarding, photos of her posing with a snowboard in the snow, and snapshots with friends Sarah Adina and Kaily Morgan Smith.

One video from the carousel showed a performance by “Beautiful Things” singer Benson Boone at TAO’s nightclub pop-up. For one of her outings, Dobrev wore a leopard-print minidress with knee-high boots and styled her hair in a ponytail.

The reported interaction at Sundance has prompted discussion among fans, with attention focused on Dobrev’s next chapter following her recent breakup.
