Following the debut of The Vampires Diaries on The CW, fans quickly became engrossed not only in the show’s romantic dynamics but also in the real-life relationships of its cast.
Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder, who brought to life the characters Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore, ignited a romance in 2010 that lasted three years. A year after their breakup, Somerhalder began dating Nikki Reed.
While Dobrev was in a relationship with Shaun White, which concluded in 2025, the Olympic snowboarder began watching her popular series. “There are so many episodes. Not that I was upset about it, but I had no idea how deep I would get into it,” he shared exclusively with Us Weekly in June 2021.
Paul Wesley, who completed the trio of main characters on TVD, has also discovered love in his life, marrying for the third time in July 2026.
