After their holiday on a yacht in the South of France last month, Nina Dobrev and rumored boyfriend Austin Stowell were seen last week being very affectionate with each other. On Thursday, Aug. 13, the former "The Vampire Diaries" star was seen kissing the "Whiplash" actor on the streets of New York.

In a photo published on E! Online, Dobrev is seen kissing Stowell, with his hand resting lightly on her waist. The 26-year-old actress was wearing white denim shorts and a long sleeve over a black tank top. She accessorized with a pair of dark eyeglasses and her hair was up in a ponytail. The 30-year-old actor was also casually dressed in brown pants and a grey t-shirt. 

Another picture shows the pair in a light moment with Stowell whispering in Dobrev's ear while she smiles in response to what he's saying. 

Dobrev was seen last month in a long and luxurious getaway in St. Tropez, France on a yacht with friends, before her rumored boyfriend joined her later on. During her time in the South of France, the actress was also seen at Leonardo DiCaprio's foundation gala. 

Stowell and Dobrev have yet to confirm their relationship. The pair first sparked romance rumors when they were seen getting cozy at the Hallmark Shoebox relaunch in Hollywood on June 10. They were seen laughing and having a good time at the event, which was held at The Improv comedy bar. 

A week before that, the two also attended an intimate dinner for a Kind Campaign fundraising initiative. They were also at Jaime King's baby shower and even took photobooth snaps together, which were posted on Dobrev's Instagram account.

Dobrev will be seen on the film "The Final Girls," which premieres on Oct. 9, while Stowell is currently filming the crime series "Public Morals," which will premiere on Aug. 25 on TNT.
