Nina Dobrev has been living the single life since her split with Ian Somerhalder, but now, it appears that there's a new man in "The Vampire Diary" alum's life as she has been spotted getting cozy with Austin Stowell. 

According to E! Online, Dobrev was spotted kissing the "Whiplash" actor during an event at The Improv in West Hollywood. A source told the website that while the 26-year old didn't walk the red carpet, she and Stowell, 30, arrived together at the Hallmark Shoebox relaunch, and that she and the actor looked very at ease with each other and happy together. 

The insider added that the pair attended with a group of friends and that they spent a lot of time at the Hallmark card station laughing and getting some of the items to take with them. Dobrev was reportedly overheard talking about how she's enjoying life in L.A. after relocating from Atlanta, where "The Vampire Diaries" is filmed. 

Another source told People magazine that Dobrev and Stowell were together the entire night and were "getting cozy during the comedy show." 

"She was very happy to have a night out with her new guy," said the eyewitness to People. "And she was very excited to see her friend Rob Riggle host the show." 

This isn't the first time that the pair has been spotted together. Last month, Dobrev and Stowell were also seen spending time together at the Indy 500. Last week, the actress shared a photo of the two of them having dinner with fans who won the experience through a Kind Campaign fundraising event. In the photo, the pair can be seen sitting together while they raised their glasses for the photo op. Last month, Dobrev shared a collage of photo booth snaps taken with Stowell and friends. 

Dobrev just left the hit CW series as she is now focusing on getting some movie roles. Stowell will be featured in the upcoming Steven Spielberg film "Bridge of Spies" and stars in TNT's upcoming drama "Public Morals."
