Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev Back Together?

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev may or may not be together in real life, but fans are still hoping for a kissing rain scene starring "TVD" characters Elena and Damon.

During PaleyFest 2014, 35-year-old Somerhalder and his rumored 25-year-old girlfriend addressed the fact that fans want to see Damon and Elena kiss while in the rain again.

"First of all, it's really cold in Georgia, so I don't think that's such a good idea," Somerhalder said at the PaleyFest panel for the CW series, according to Entertainment Wise. "It was below 30 degrees, and it got so cold the muscles in my jaw froze and I couldn't speak. I looked like I had Bell's palsy."

Dobrev agreed, adding, "I got icicles in my hair and I got really sick."

And it looks like no one is safe if the kissing rain scene happens.

"You write another rain kiss and I quit," Somerhalder said, threating the show's co-executive producer Julie Plec.

Damon and Elena are seemingly back together in season 5 of the popular CW vampire TV show, at least in a romantic hooking up type of way.

"Friends with benefits never ultimately work," Somerhalder recently told Zap2it. "They are wonderful for a spell. But hey, you never know."

Dobrev agreed.

"Well, we've all seen the movie 'Friends With Benefits' with Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake, right?" Dobrev tells Zap2it. "Everyone always goes into that whole arrangement with optimistic views and wanting it to work but it always gets messy. It's hard to just separate sex and emotions. Those just go together."

During PaleyFest, both agreed that their onscreen romance was "toxic," with Somerhalder saying, "When you have grown-up conversations, you have to put your big boy pants and big girl pants on and have the conversation. But they keep taking their pants off, and that's what gets in the way of the grown up conversations."

Nina Dobrev Boyfriend 2013: Ian Somerhalder Wants Paul Wesley for Elena? 'Yes, Stefan is Better than Me,' Damon Starts Speculation on Twitter

Recent reports suggest that Nina Dobrev is back with ex-boyfriend Ian Somerhalder, but it looks like the "Vampire Diaries" actor may think that his costar Paul Wesley is better for her, or maybe just for Elena instead.

A Twitter user, @illumisally, tweeted to 34-year-old Somerhalder on Nov. 20, "Paul is better than you."

The Damon Salvatore actor responded to the tweet, saying, "I'm sure he is;)"

Of course, some fans went crazy that the hunk even responded to the tweet, while others disagreed with the opinion.

"No Ian, you both are amazing!" one eager fan said. Another tweeted, "Excuse me? Both of them are." Another female fan got excited and said, "3some with you and paul."

We can speculate that Somerhalder could suggest Wesley would make a better boyfriend for Dobrev, or that his vampire character Damon is not as good as Stefan.

This has been an ongoing debate between "Vampire Diaries" fans.

Somerhalder and Wesley, 31, play the sexy but troublesome Salvatore brothers, Damon and Stefan, on the popular CW show. They share one love interest: Elena, played by Nina Dobrev.

At the moment in season 5, Elena is dating Damon but Stefan is causing a little trouble for the couple.

But there's no bad blood between the two actors. They apparently have a very tight bromance and even let fans know on Twitter and Instagram.

"New Girl" star Max Greenfield recently tweeted on Nov, 12, "Here's a pic of Schmidt and Nick from tonight's all new ep of @NewGirlonFOX @MrJakeJohnson." The photo featured Wesley and Somerhalder hugged up for a photo.

Wesley responded to the joking tweet by saying, "This must be some sort of misunderstanding. This is actually a photo of me and my girlfriend Ian Somerhalder."

On the flip side, Somerhalder has reportedly started hooking up again with Dobrev after their May break up. Wesley is reportedly dating "The Originals" star Phoebe Tonkin.

According to E! Online, sources say that the couple is hooking up in secret and back together.

"Insiders say that it's still too soon to tell if they'll make a full reconciliation, but the two are definitely getting hot and heavy once again," E! reported.

Ian Somerhalder calls ex Nina Dobrev's Cosmopolitan cover 'stunning'

The Vampire Diaries co-stars Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev might have broken up, but that didn’t stop Somerhalder from paying his ex a compliment on Twitter. He urged fans to pick up a copy of Cosmpolitan, which Dobrev graces the cover of.

Somerhalder posted a picture of the magazine on Instagram and called it “stunning” in a caption.

“In a store this morning-who do I see?The one&only @ninadobrev These things are almost gone so If you haven't gotten this magazine off of a shelf-get one. One word: Stunning... Congrats Nina! Xo Ian,” he wrote.

The former couple called it quits in May after dating for over three years. With a ten-year age difference, sources say Dobrev wasn’t ready to commit like Somerhalder wanted her to.

“They still talk daily," a source told E! News. "This wasn't something out of the blue."

They met on the set of their CW show in 2009 and remain friends.

Ian Somerhalder 'Faces Travel Nightmare Following Rumoured Nina Dobrev Split'

Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder has been left upset after his baggage has been left in Belgium after an apparent strike, just more drama to add to his life following his alleged split with co-star Nina Dobrev.

The 34-year-old star, who has been travelling the world after wrapping season four of Vampire Diaries, has run into a nightmare with his luggage and has taken to Twitter to plea with baggage handlers in Brussels to return his belongings.

Following his trip to promote the Ian Somerhalder Foundation, which aims to educate people on issues affecting the environment, his trip quickly turned from “magical” to misery.

After flying to Toronto in Canada, Ian reportedly found out that Swissport Handling had gone on strike, which means that his luggage could remain in Brussels until union workers agree on a deal.

“MY BAGS ARE STUCK IN BRUSSELS-THERE IS A STRIKE-THEY ARE KEEPING MY LUGGAGE!!PLEASE STOP STRIKING!!! GIVE ME MY BAGS BACK!” Ian tweeted yesterday.

According to Expatica.com, meetings between the union and Swissport officials ended without an agreement on Monday.

Ian is said to have split up with his girlfriend of three years Nina Dobrev, with the pair last being seen together outside of work in March. Although neither of their reps will comment on their love life.

Ian Somerhalder & Nina Dobrev Visit Sick Vampire Diaries Fan Before Lung Transplant

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev may have made this girl's life so far—but, happily, 14-year-old Kayla Miller is going to have much more time to top the experience of meeting a couple of her favorite vampires.

"Sending congratulations to @kayla_0507 and her family. We all secreted this. Her life has been saved. I'm smiling ear to ear," Dobrev wrote on WhoSay today after she found out that Kayla had undergone a successful lung transplant.

She and her Vampire Diaries costar visited Kayla in the Toronto hospital where she was awaiting the livesaving surgery last weekend. Luckily no shortness of breath ensued when Somerhalder leaned in close for a mock-nibble.

"Id like to ask everyone who reads this to send out positive energy to @Kayla_0507 tonight," Dobrev wrote on Wednesday. "Just take one moment of your time to think of her and put it out there in the universe. Think happy thoughts and smile :) The secret.. We can make anything happen."

Somerhalder tweeted yesterday: "Support @Kayla_0507 & her dream to run w/ the Run aLung--it takes place May 11 in Cambridge on Bob McMullen trail! http://runalung.ca."

Kayla's mother wrote on Facebook that her daughter had received a new left lung and "will be able to function as a normal 14 year old girl... We will forever be grateful from our friends, family and community but most of all the donor family."

Nina Dobrev's On-Camera Is Perfected With Tips From Her MOTHER!!

The tantalizing TV starlet took her fabulousness to Conan last night, and you won't believe what she said!

If you've watched her delightfully deviant dramz about vexing vampires sucking sweet blood and making sweet love, this won't be much of a shock, but Nina says she's gotten down with each of her co-stars!!

She revealed:

"I'm pretty sure I've made out with every guy on the show. As my character, of course!"

If that sounds uncomfortable, though, you'll NEVER believe what Nina admitted next!

She continued:

"The awkwardness and the weirdness is when my mom comes to set and I have to do a sex scene or something. That can get kind of weird, but what's even weirder is when I come off set and she starts giving me notes: 'Arch your back more. It'll look sexier if you arch your back.' We're close!"

Ian Somerhalder Cheating On Nina Dobrev?

As far as TV stars and sex gods go, Ian Somerhalder is pretty eco friendly. Sure, he’s working in an industry that probably doesn’t always recycle the lights used on set—and do we really need to spend all that electricity for entertainment’s sake?—but Ian and his foundation seem to have made peace with Hollywood, if only because of the huge platform it gives their cause. Ian had a break from filiming this weekend, so he jetted from Atlanta down to New Orleans, where he attended a conference on climate chage. The actor loves keeping Twitter fans informed, and his top two girls were right alongside him in the twitterverse—and in real life!

Foundation employees Kim Klinger and Jessica Ramsey enjoyed a flirty, busy weekend with the sexy part-vampire part-billionaire executive .  The young blonde women seem to have had Ian all to themselves—girlfriend Nina Dobrev was nowhere in sight! Now, we’ve previously wondered if Ian and Nina may be headed into rough waters, as he seems so passionate about his green work, while Nina (based on her tweets, at least) is really more concerned about how to style bangs and exclusive Hollywood parties. Not to say she doesn’t seem quite nice, but relationships without a common goal are hard!

I’m starting to wonder if Ian has faked his public relationship with Nina for the sake of his environmental foundation and career. He may care about her—she may even be in on it—but the two don’t seem to spend a lot of time together outside of work. Then again, they could be genuinely busy with work stuff, and maybe Nina doesn’t tweet about green charities because her PR maven warned her about getting into politics. It’s impossible to say from the outside! 

Nina Dobrev & Ian Somerhalder: How The ‘VD’ Stars Spent Valentine’s Day

The ‘Vampire Diaries’ stars used Twitter to send their fans & followers some love on V-Day!

While many humans spent Feb. 14 stressing out, trying to impress their special ladies or gentlemen, Nina Dobrev had her Valentine’s Day plans made for her. ”On set, filming all Day,” Nina tweeted. “Doesn’t matter that its Valentines day… Still gotta work.” Of course, I’m sure ‘working’ alongside Ian Somerhalder probably wasn’t the worst way to spend the most romantic day of the year.

And Nina, 24, is definitely a romantic — you could say she’s more of an Elena than a Katherine — as she spent the rest of the night tweeting out love-related messages to her 3.36 million Twitter followers.

Nina Dobrev’s Valentine’s Day Tweets

“Send you all…” she tweeted, along with a photo that read “hugs, kisses and valentine wishes.”

She followed that up by tweeting a picture of all the words she uses to describe love, including: self-knowledge, respect, forgiveness, communication, trust, commitment, self-giving, understanding, sacrifice, faith and responsibility. (Sounds like she’s got the right idea!)

As if that wasn’t enough, Nina next introduced a contest for her followers!

“Be my Valentine?” she tweeted. “Whoever can send me the most creative Valentine’s card with their lipstick kiss will win…” and she linked to the Amazon.com page for The Vampire Diaries complete seasons 1-3 bundle pack. She also wanted to make sure her followers knew this contest wasn’t just for girls, tweeting, “you too boys… If you have the courage, show me how die hard you are and send me a valentine card with your lipstick kiss.” She included the hash tag #NinasValentine.

And in case any of Nina’s followers needed a last-minute V-Day gift idea, she had them covered: “Ladies print this one out as an added surprise for your fella,” she tweeted, along with a cut-able coupon book for massages, movie dates and more.

What Was Ian Somerhalder Up To On Valentine’s Day?

Ian, 34, wasn’t quite as forthcoming with his tweets — we’re guessing he didn’t have as much downtime as his leading lady — but he did manage to shoot one message out to his 3.38 million followers:

“Good night beautiful world,” he tweeted.

That’s right, Ian called you beautiful. You’re welcome.

Nina Dobrev Engaged to Ian Somerhalder?

Are Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder engaged?

That’s what Perez Hilton thinks.

Reviewing pictures of Dobrev from a Christian Dior event on Wednesday, the blogger discovered “a mysterious gold ring on her left hand!”

He declares, “It can only mean one thing… SHE’S ENGAGED TO IAN SOMERHALDER!!!”

Among the bits of “evidence” Perez cites are the fact that it was Dobrev’s birthday, and her “ginormous smile… the kind you get when someone proposes!”

Boy, that’s rock solid detective work.

Unfortunately, Perez is 100 percent WRONG.

A rep for Dobrev tells Gossip Cop the engagement report is “totally untrue.”

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev Enjoying a Romantic Winter Getaway

Earlier this week, both Ian and Nina hit Twitter with news of their upcoming hiatus. On December 16 Ian tweeted, “Packing,x-mas travel starts!I am officially off!Except the meeting I have to fly to LA for.Other than that- NO WORK!Though always working:)”

He was quickly followed by Nina on December 17, who was busy packing. She tweeted, “In 5 hours I'll be boarding a plane to winter wonderland. There's a light at the end of the tunnel....”

Could this winter wonderland be located in the mountains? After being spotted together at the Salt Lake City airport (where Ian used Nina’s back to sign an autograph!), Ian took to Twitter again early this morning to say, “Mountain air does a body good. Goodnight beautiful world-thank you for the much-needed peace.”

Nothing is more peaceful than some alone time with your love in front of a fire, are we right? Particularly if your loved one is as pretty as either of those two!

We hope they enjoy their holiday time together. After the season their characters have had, they deserve some rest and relaxation!

Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev Enjoy Family Time

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev spent some time with family over the holiday weekend. Taking a small break from filming The Vampire Diaries, the actors were able to get away for a while. It sounds like they both really enjoyed their time, as they shared some of their weekend memories with their Twitter followers.

"Sunset on the Mandeville Lake Front today... I grew up on this very piece of dirt- so cool to be here w/ my family (sic)," Ian tweeted on Sunday. "Sunday funday! Just made breakfast for the family...later gonna make some pizza! It's a cooking kinda day... (sic)," Nina tweeted.

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev try to spend time together over the holidays if they can. Pictures of the couple were posted by Fanpop, showing that they both had a really good time together this weekend—they even shared some kisses! There is no question that they both love their families—and each other's families—and it is great to see them fly "home" for a few days.

'The Vampire Diaries' Season 4 Spoilers: What's Happening to Elena?

The Vampire Diaries season 4 has quite the November planned as Elena continues to adjust to being a vampire. The CW has announced their November sweeps schedule, and part of it includes spoilers for episode 6, "We All Go A Little Mad Sometimes."

Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 6 "We All Go A Little Mad Sometimes" Spoilers

"Terrifying hallucinations leave Elena (Nina Dobrev) shaken and confused, causing her to make a dangerous mistake."

Is Elena going to end up taking a life in this episode? Could she end up putting someone in danger? Either seems like a very likely scenario, given this episode description. But what's causing the hallucinations? Will it have something to do with her doppelgänger side and her new vampire side? What is she going to be seeing? This sounds like it could lead to some serious trouble in Mystic Falls, especially if Connor is still around and on the hunt.

Will everyone survive this Vampire Diaries season 4 episode? With Elena confused, she could do anything—and that could leave anyone in danger. Stefan has been worried that if Elena hurts someone, she could turn off her humanity. Will she come close to that in "We All Go A Little Mad Sometimes"? Is someone having some fun and doing something to her? There are many questions about this scenario, but one of the main ones has to be: Will everyone still be alive by the end of this episode? With this episode part of November sweeps, you know it's going to be a big one—and that means someone may not make it out of this alive.

Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev in Hot Pursuit of 3 Million Followers

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev are both nearing 3 million followers on their respective Twitter accounts. "The Vampire Diaries" stars have almost always been close in numbers, but Nina is pulling ahead slightly and she's already asking her followers to help her reach the 3 million mark.

"3 is my moms (@paintaworld) favorite number! I've got 2.8M followers, Help me get to the 3 million mark (sic)," Nina tweeted on October 21. With Ian not far behind her at 2.7 million, the two could find themselves hitting 3 million around the same time and likely before the end of the year. Tons of Nina's fans retweeted her message, and she's already nearing the 2.9 million mark.

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev both reached 2 million Twitter followers around the same time. It seems as though they are both equally popular and the number of followers that they have on Twitter proves that in many ways. At this rate, it does seem like Nina is going to hit 3 million before Ian, but you never know.

Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev discuss female issues

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev shared some insight about the female world—in two very different ways. The Vampire Diaries actors and real-life couple took to their Twitter accounts to share their feelings on what women have to go through living in today's world.

"Whoa-reading insane news. Is it me or does it seem weird that middle-aged men are making womens' health care decisions? (sic)," Ian tweeted on August 30. "Ah! I hate tweezing! How is it that we've been able to cure polio, clone babies, we can re attach limbs but no one has figured out how to really truly kill a hair follicle forever?! Or regenerate them.. For those losing their hair (sic)," Nina tweeted yesterday.

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev both care about worldly matters even if one hits closer to "home" than the other. Ian is in to politics by way of trying to make the world a better place. Nina, on the other hand, cares about that kind of stuff too, but she tends to tweet about things that bother her... and she's right—why do women have to constantly pluck, shave, and wax?!

Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev Mix Business and Pleasure

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev are both back to work on The Vampire Diaries but they most certainly find time to relax now and then. While their schedules have them working long, hard hours, they make sure to use their spare time wisely. "Shark week mania!! Timing couldn't be better.. I'm going through Olympic withdrawals (sic)," Nina tweeted on Monday. "Settling down after long day/night of #tvd Good night beautiful world—stay cool (sic)," Ian tweeted on Wednesday. It sounds like Ian and Nina both like to just stay in and kick back when they have a late night—or an early morning.

Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev are more than likely spending these nights in front of the television together. They have been dating for a couple of years now and while they are careful not to reveal too much about their private lives, fans believe that they spend a ton of time together—even if it's just at home hanging out.

'The Vampire Diaries' Season 4 casts David Alpay as Professor Shane

"The Vampire Diaries" continues to add to its cast of characters for Season 4. David Alpay, who is best known for his work on "The Borgais" and "The Tudors," is set to play a college professor who has a particular interest in the supernatural. As we shared last month, Professor Shane will share a particular connection with Bonnie when he first arrives in the fourth episode. TVGuide reveals that he knows her through her family, so we're hoping his introduction will open us up to a little more of Bonnie's background and family history.

No word yet on whether he'll be a love interest for any of the characters, but hey, look at that face. We'd be interested. Of course, Shane's not your usual college professor. In Season 2, when Damon, Alaric, and Elena visited Isobel's offices at Duke University, we learned that Isobel had been doing some serious research on vampires as part of her studies. Let's just say that Shane has a lot in common with Elena's departed bio-mom. Alpay will recur this season. His storyline will introduce us to the local university, which will help ease the show's transition into the post-high-school world after most of our favorites graduate in the spring.

It seems like he can make some interesting character..Cant wait for Season 4...

'The Vampire Diaries' Season 4 Spoilers: How Long Will the Tyler and Klaus Situation Last?

Michael Trevino told Wetpaint Entertainment, "I'm playing Klaus and I would like to think that it goes on for a few episodes but I think the run as Klaus might end sooner rather than later." As good as Trevino was in the season 3 finale as Klaus, there's nothing like Joseph Morgan in the role. Besides, the sooner Klaus is back in his own body, the sooner Tyler is back in control of his and they can explore the aftermath of the time Klaus spent in Tyler's body—and what he did (because you know he's going to be up to something). 

Trevino went on to say, "[Tyler] is not lost forever. I think eventually Tyler will come back into Tyler's body and we should be all good." He and Caroline will have to deal with whatever Klaus did in his body. They had only momentary happiness before it all went to hell at the end of last season, and even once Tyler is back in control, they still have to face the fact that the Council knows what they really are, thanks to Alaric. There's a vampire hunter coming to town, and he's going to mean trouble for everyone. Will Caroline and Tyler get the chance to be together and be happy for an extended period of time with everything going on and graduation approaching? Will their futures take them to different places?

Finally, for The Vampire Diaries season 4 in general, Trevino revealed, "Tyler is going to end up going through a lot. There's going to be a lot of action, a lot of blood. Maybe some bullets, maybe some stakes. But at the end of the day Tyler's shirtless a good amount of the time." What else would you expect with the Originals still around, a vampire hunter coming, Elena as a vampire, and the new threat coming? It should be an exciting season for Vampire Diaries fans.

Season 4, Here We Come!

It’s that time again! The Vampire Diaries cast and crew are heading back to work, and so are we! Team V-D.net appreciates everyone’s patience with the slowdown on the site, we’ve collectively had a lot of regular life things on our plates these last few weeks. The whole fandom is still slogging along through hiatus hell, but there’s action in Atlanta and if you listen very carefully you can almost hear the TVD machine starting to gear up for Season 4. Michael Trevino even tweeted a table read picture!

Season 4, you guys! It’s really happening!

The new season premieres on Thursday, October 11th. That’s an awfully long wait, but Comic-Con 2012 is kicking off this week in San Diego, so hopefully we’ll get some good hints, interviews and of course, pictures! Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Zach Roerig, Michael Trevino, Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec will all be attending. The Vampire Diaries panel is in Ballroom 20 from 3:30-4:15pm on Saturday, July 14th.
