Love is in the air this summer for The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev: the Canadian actress was recently spotted in New York getting cosy with Australian model Dougie Joseph.
There were rumours of White cheating on the actress, but insiders denied them, with a source telling People that the split was mutual.
So who is Dobrev’s new man? Here’s what we know about Dougie Joseph.
How did Dougie Joseph get into modelling?
Douglas Joseph, more professionally known as Dougie, is a 35-year-old model. But before the Sydney native stepped into the fashion world, he had dreams of becoming a professional motocross racer, which he took up when he was in secondary school, he told the Model Mentality podcast in 2020.
Joseph achieved his dream in 2017, when he made the big move from Australia to New York City. The model has been based there ever since, posing for brands such as Todd Snyder and Abercrombie & Fitch, and appearing on the cover of L’Officiel.
