Canadian actress Nina Dobrev publicly celebrated the New Year in early January 2026 with actor Glen Powell and others during a holiday trip to St. Barts, following her confirmed split from professional snowboarder and former fiancé Shaun White in September 2025. The social gathering, shared on Dobrev’s social media on January 6, 2026, showed the group together while ringing in the new year.

According to multiple reports, Dobrev and Powell, who briefly dated in 2017, were among a larger group vacationing in the Caribbean destination over the New Year’s period. Video clips and photos posted from the trip showed Dobrev alongside Powell and Powell’s rumored girlfriend Michelle Randolph, as well as other friends, dancing, laughing and engaging in group activities such as swimming and pickleball. These posts served as Dobrev’s first major public celebration since her breakup from White.

The split between Dobrev and White was officially reported in September 2025 after a five-year relationship that included an engagement in October 2024. The breakup was described at the time as mutual by sources close to the couple. There has been no official comment from representatives for Dobrev or White beyond those previous confirmations.

The social media sharing from the St. Barts trip, including captioned videos and images, emphasized a tone of friendship and camaraderie. Dobrev wrote in one caption that the gathering included “some old friends, some new friends… now all best friends,” and expressed gratitude for the joyful surroundings. There were no reports linked directly to romantic reconciliation between Dobrev and Powell.

The reported presence of Powell’s rumored partner at the gathering and the mix of shared activities indicates that the event was a broader social holiday celebration rather than a private or romantic reunion. No official statements were issued by any of the individuals involved regarding their personal relationships beyond what was shared on social media.

At this stage, what is publicly known is that Dobrev continues her professional career while maintaining active personal engagements with friends, and that her holiday celebration with Powell and others marked a highly visible moment in her social life following her earlier breakup. No further details have been released by official representatives.
