Actress Nina Dobrev once declared in Cosmopolitan that she is a relationship girl when it comes to dating. She said she wasn’t one for casual hookups, “In some respects, I’m modern; in others, I’m traditional. I appreciate it when guys hold the door open and show kindness and consideration. However, I also find the I-just-rolled-out-of-bed, a little bit scruffy, effortless, not-trying-too-hard, still-attractive guy to be kind of attractive. A man in a suit looking put together and dapper is very attractive.”
The Vampire Diaries star was among the Hollywood guys she dated over the years who appeared to meet her standards. With some of her previous love interests, though, including a professional dancer, a couple of movie stars, and a screenwriter, not every relationship was meant to continue.
Fans have seen Dobrev looking happier than ever with her newest partner on social media, and as of this writing, the Canadian actor is definitely taken. Let’s look back at Dobrev’s past relationships to see who has piqued the attention of the brunette beauty before moving on to her most recent romance.
Fans were happy to learn that Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder fell in love behind the scenes after meeting on the set of “The Vampire Diaries.” In 2011, they made their relationship public, breaching Dobrev’s rule against falling in love with a coworker.
According to Dobrev, “What do you know? It was genuinely what I thought at the time. Since my aim on the show was to act professionally, I didn’t want to be dating one of my co-stars. But occasionally, you can’t help who you connect with, and you can only resist it for so long — as I did for a very, really long time.” After three years together, the pair called it quits, with media speculating that their 10-year age difference may have been a factor. But according to People, they continued to get along well and even worked together on set until Dobrev departed the show in 2015.
After their breakup, Somerhalder started dating “Twilight” actor Nikki Reed. They announced their engagement six months after they started dating. They got married in 2015, and as of this writing, they are still together. Dobrev said in an interview with E! News that she was happy to see her ex with Reed, adding, “Since I am happy and they appear to be as well, I don’t see why there should be a problem. The drama is outside of us, in the media.”
