What Nina Dobrev And Ian Somerhalder's Relationship Is Like Today

Compared to some celebrity couples, Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder had a relatively peaceful breakup, but it wasn't exactly a clean one. After calling it quits in 2013, the couple had to continue portraying onscreen love interests for several more years, which could have made things super awkward. Fortunately, the exes have always remained cordial — publicly, at least. In 2014, Dobrev and Somerhalder even poked fun at their breakup when accepting their award for "Favorite On-Screen Chemistry" at the People's Choice Awards. 

Around this time, Somerhalder's whirlwind romance with "Twilight" actor NIkki Reed kicked off, and culminated in a marriage about a year an a half later, per USA Today. Given the timing of Dobrev's "Vampire Diaries" departure, there's been speculation that Somerhalder's wedding was the real reason that Dobrev left "The Vampire Diaries." 

However, Dobrev and Somerhalder have remained on good terms. "When I heard about the wedding, I thought it was beautiful," Dobrev shared with E! News. "They look happy, and I am happy, and so I don't see why there should be a problem with that," Dobrev said. In the years since, Dobrev has not only maintained a friendship with Somerhalder, but also with his wife, Reed. During a 2019 appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," Dobrev addressed critics who may think her decision is out of the ordinary. "I don't think that's weird at all. I think that's great," she said.
