Online<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Nina Dobrev<\/a> is taking a bite out of the Big Apple.<\/p>\n Nearly two months after her sudden breakup from fianc\u00e9 Shaun White<\/a>, the “Vampire Diaries<\/a>” star shared a glimpse into her life lately with a surprising update: She moved to New York City.<\/p>\n The 36-year-old revealed she\u2019d swapped coasts on her Instagram Stories Nov. 1 alongside a photo of herself holding up a set of keys with an apple-shaped keychain bearing an image of a New York City skyline and the words “New York.” As Dobrev gushed, “She’s a New Yorker.”<\/p>\n Though the “Degrassi” alum had suggested she was spending more time on the East Coast on social media lately, she had previously been in the process of renovating a home in Los Angeles with White ahead of their breakup.<\/p>\n In a video posted on TikTok<\/a> in July, Dobrev showcased the construction<\/a> inside the property, writing, “When you\u2019re getting married and building a house in the same year.”<\/p>\n READ<\/b> Nina Dobrev Breaks Silence on Zac Efron Dating Rumors<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cHow much do we have left?\u201d she lip synced in the clip to White, who replied, “Forty bucks.”<\/p>\n In response, Dobrev joked, “That’s it?”<\/p>\n Though not long earlier, she had indicated she and the Olympian weren’t moving too quickly on the wedding planning process. <\/p>\n “I really want to enjoy it and not rush that process,” Dobrev told E! News<\/a> in March. “We’re just enjoying being engaged at this point and being in that sort of phase because a lot of your life is \u2014 you have a boyfriend for half of your life and then you have a husband for half of your life, but the fianc\u00e9 period is very short.”<\/p>\n By September, the two had ended their engagement<\/a> after five years together. And just before the news was made public, Dobrev hinted at repairing a tainted relationship.<\/p>\n “What’s your advice for women trying to fix their man?” the “Degrassi” alum mouthed in a Sept. 5 TikTok<\/a> video. “Listen, Bob the Builder, he’s got 10 other women trying to fix him too, and you all look like a damn construction crew.”<\/p>\n Since her and White\u2019s breakup, Dobrev has kept busy with close circle of friends, attending Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco\u2019s wedding with Ashley Park and taking a yacht trip to Europe with Zac Efron, Miles Teller, Keleigh Teller and Chace Crawford for a friend’s wedding.<\/p>\n In fact, the getaway even led to romance rumors<\/a> between her and the “High School Musical” <\/em>star. However, as Dobrev later emphasized, these days, she is concentrating on herself.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m excited for the future,” she told TMZ<\/a>, “and the only thing that’s guaranteed is change.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
