Nina Dobrev seems to be embracing a new chapter, and the Sundance Film Festival may have been the perfect setting to kick it off.
The actress, who split from fiance Olympic snowboarder Shaun White in September, was spotted enjoying herself at a Sundance party celebrating her close friend Zoey Deutch’s film Gail Daughtry and Celebrity Sex Pass.
According to a source, things got flirty when Dobrev connected with a mystery man at the party.
A spy at the event shared that The Vampire Diaries the star “flirted hard” with a man described as having a mustache and a beanie, adding that he was “h*t AF.”
The source said Dobrev approached him first and asked what he was doing at the party, and the two later exchanged phone numbers.
Dobrev also gave fans a glimpse into her Sundance vacation by sharing photos from the trip, which included snowboarding, a massage and a night at TAO’s nightclub pop-up, where singer Benson Boone performed her hit Beautiful things.
The festival appearance comes after a series of carefree moments for the actress.
She rang in the new year in St. Barts on the same yacht as influencer Alix Earle, where she was seen posing with friends and dancing in a bikini.
Looking ahead, Dobrev is set to appear in the romantic comedy It happened one summer.
She remains close to Deutch, and the two have traveled extensively together in the past, including a memorable trip to Antarctica with White and Deutch’s fiance, Jimmy Tatro.
While nothing looks official, Dobrev’s Sundance sighting suggests she’s enjoying life post-split and may be open to seeing where new connections lead.
