As of right now, there’s nothing serious going on between Nina and the 30-year-old Whiplash actor. “They are having fun hanging out and he is more into her than she is into him. She really is interested in just being friends and hyper focused on her career,” sources tell Hollywoodlife EXCLUSIVELY.

“She is a tomboy and loves hanging out with guys — it’s less drama. But she isn’t stupid either. She knows that the drama starts when feelings get involved, so she has warned Austin that she isn’t romantically interested right now. But in Austin’s case, he really isn’t listening to that and wants more. Austin believes his persistence and quest for something more will win out,” our source continued.

Nina Dobrev’s Just Looking For Fun With Austin Stowell

Nina’s most high profile relationship, which was with her TVD co-star Ian Somerhalder, ended in 2013, so it would be great to see her find love again. But as of right now, she’s taking it slow and isn’t ready to jump into a new relationship.

Ian went on to marry actress Nikki Reed in April, breaking the hearts of many Nina/Ian shippers around the world. However, the actress had nothing but kind words for her ex on his wedding day. “Positivity. Love. Happiness. That is what I’m sending out into the Universe, may your day be filled with it…Namaste,” she wrote on social media.
