Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder Break Up; Was It 'Inevitable'?
Nina Dobrev and Vampire Diaries co-star Ian Somerhalder have put an end to their romantic relationship.
The couple, who disclosed their relationship back in 2011, had their breakup go public on May 9 thanks to an insiders statements to Us Weekly.
According to the insider, the pair will "continue to work together and remain best friends, which is where the relationship started."
As the breakup hit the web, Somerhalder happened to post an interesting relationship centered tweet, staing "A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: People change and forget to tell each other. -Lillian Hellman, playwright (1905-1984)."
However, it appears the split between the two actors may have been "inevitable," according to a second Us Weekly source.
"The relationship kind of brewed out of a friendship and the fact that they had to get into a romance for the show," the source told Us Weekly, adding that 24-year-old Dobrev wanted to experience other things.
With nearly a decade age gap between the 34-year-old Somerhalder and the young Dobrev, it appears the two may have just been at different points in their lives. However, with Vampire Diaries renewed for a fifth season on the CW, the former couple will still be seeing a lot f each other, so perhaps they will find each other again.
