Reopening the love diary of Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder
Damon and Elena’s flawless chemistry on The Vampire Diaries became the most celebrated love angle in the series. Back in 2010, Nina also admitted in an interview that during the initial stage in her Hollywood career, she had a very strict rule about not dating her co-stars.
But she couldn’t help getting attracted to Ian.
“Sometimes you can’t help who you have a connection with, and you can only fight it for so long,”
she told Seventeen. The duo were together until they called it quits in 2013.
Ian started seeing Nikki Reed in 2014 and after six months of dating, the two decided to get married. People started speculating if Nina decided to leave the show because of her and Ian’s failed relationship. However, even after their breakup, the co-stars maintained that though their romantic relationship did not work out, they were good friends.

Shortly after the news about the split surfaced, fans thought Ian took a slight dig at his former lover by posting a vague message on his Twitter handle. “A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: People change and forget to tell each other -Lillian Hellman, playwright (1905-1984),” he tweeted.
When Ian started dating Nikki, Nina posted a series of quotes, “I give, you take, I break, you fake PITY, I bleed, you dive in deep, into my blood, as thick as syrup. Tell Me are you a mosquito?” her post read.
Another read, “Pretty words aren’t always true and true words aren’t always pretty”.
Some rumours also suggested that Nikki and Nina were friends before.The Twilight actress went behind Nina’s back to date her ex, which upset Nina.
