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 Two days after posting the video, Nina stepped out at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of Eternity <\/em>without the 5-carat diamond engagement ring<\/a> from the Olympic snowboarder.<\/p>\n TikTok\/Nina Dobrev<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n And while neither have not publicly addressed their breakup, Nina did clear the air about recent romance rumors<\/a> involving herself and Zac Efron<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n After she and the High School Musical <\/em>alum were spotted vacationing with friends Miles<\/strong> Teller<\/strong> and his wife Keleigh<\/strong> Teller<\/strong>, Nina denied speculation that it was a double date and shook her head when asked if they were an item.<\/p>\n Additionally, when questioned if she and Zac were just friends, Nina told TMZ<\/a> in October, \u201cYeah.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m excited for the future,” she added at the time, “and the only thing that\u2019s guaranteed is change.”<\/p>\n For a complete timeline of Nina and Shaun’s relationship, read on.<\/p>\n Dobrev and White hit it off after they partied together with friends, including her Vampire Diaries<\/em> co-stars Kayla Ewell<\/strong> and Candice Accola King<\/strong>, at the opening of the Bellagio Resort & Casino’s new supper club The Mayfair in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve.<\/p>\n A year later, amid the coronavirus pandemic, Dobrev would share this photo of her and White at the bash, as well as a video of him lifting her up Dirty Dancing<\/em>-style only to have them both topple into the snow.
