Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev and Nikki Reed News: Rumors of Vampire Diaries Romance Persist Even After Wedding Announcement
While fans of the "The Vampire Diaries" still cling to the notion of a reconciliation between former lovers Nina Dobrev, 27, and Ian Somerhalder, 36, after they split up in 2013, their hopes were crushed when news broke out recently that Somerhalder is now engaged to "Twilight" star Nicki Reed, 26, after only six months of dating.
Even with Somerhalder's impending marriage to Reed on the horizon (the two plan to get married this year), fans still continue to speculate about Dobrev and Somerhalder, seemingly wishing they would still get back together no matter how slim the odds may be.
Indeed the pair had been off and on throughout the time they were together. Fanning the hopes of fans was a recent news item saying Dobrev and Somerhalder were getting together again on the set of their TV series and that Reed was getting "worried." However, there appears to be nothing of substance behind those rumors.
Meanwhile, there is speculation on whether Somerhalder will invite Dobrev to his wedding with Reed.
Hollywood Life reported that Somerhalder and Reed obviously want to share their big day with all their friends, including the entire cast of "The Vampire Diaries." Since Dobrev is part of the cast, the situation could become very awkward.
A source within Hollywood Life said the situation is indeed strange, adding that Somerhalder would likely send a wedding invitation to Dobrev who would likely decline the invitation to avoid further controversy.
Other news items insinuated that Dobrev was trying to come between Reed and Somerhalder in a bid to get Somerhalder back. Dobrev herself quashed the rumors, saying she and Somerholder remain friends despite everything that has happened and that being together for such a long time has given them the foundation for that friendship.
Meanwhile, Somerholder and Reed continue to show the world that they are very much in love with each other, as evidenced by their very public display of affection and the photos of them together (the latest was on Valentine's Day) uploaded on Instagram.
