Dobrev recalled when she planned a vacation with someone but did not vibe with the person when they met. “I had someone fly from a different continent to come see me because we’d had what I call a vacation romance.”

“Then I went home and this person came to visit me, and I realized when he arrived that it should have just been a vacation romance and I was not interested anymore. He booked a two-week plane ticket, so I was stuck with him for two weeks, but I was not into the relationship anymore.”

Nina had to spend the next two weeks hanging out with the person, and she had to juggle a lot between her work as well. Thankfully, her dating life is much better now, with her champion partner, Shaun White.
