NINA DOBREV SETS RECORD STRAIGHT WITH E! NEWS

Image
Nina Dobrev Nina Dobrev is ready to set the record straight. E! NEWS -- To say The Vampire Diaries fanbase was distraught after Nina announced she was leaving The Vampire Diaries after six seasons is a bit of an understatement, with fans and media alike soon speculating that she was leaving the CW hit series due to her 2013 break up with co-star Ian Somerhalder (despite the fact the two have remained friendly, even addressing their split on stage at the People's Choice Awards while accepting the award for "Best Chemistry" in 2014). For the first time since his April wedding to Nikki Reed, Nina is breaking her silence on all those rumors that her breakup with Ian was behind her decision to leave TVD in an exclusive sit-down interview with E! News' Maria Menounos. And per usual, her answer is totally perfect and the definition of class. "I've said this before, that we didn't break up because anything bad happened or becau...

Nina Dobrev Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder's showmance is over. The Vampire Diaries costars, who play Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore on the CW hit series, have called it quits after more than three years of dating, a source tells Us Weekly exclusively. The couple, who first took their romance public in 2011, are "consummate professionals," the insider says, and "will continue to work together and remain best friends, which is where the relationship started." Last fall, Dobrev opened up to Seventeen magazine about falling for Somerhalder. "I didn't want to be dating one of my costars -- my goal on the show was to be professional," she admitted. "But sometimes you can't help who you have a connection with, and you can only fight it for so long -- which I did for a really, really long time." The Vampire Diaries is currently in its fourth season on the CW. In February, the network renewed the supernatu...
