The past relationship between Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder has been making all kinds of headlines in the past few weeks, as news outlets around the world blame the fact that they dated on Dobrev leaving "The Vampire Diaries" only weeks before Somerhalder's marriage to Nikki Reed.
As rumors emerge between Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder, it's hard to know how much of it is fact and how much just crazy talk from media, as the Bulgarian-Canadian star hasn't really spoken about her ex's marriage to "Twilight" actress Nikki Reed since news came out.
As Yahoo! Celebrity reports, rumors that Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder's past relationship were to blame for the actress leaving the show that turned both of them into stars have been boiling since she announced her departure from the series after six seasons being Somerhalder's love interest.
Now, Just Jared reports that it seems like the entire Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder drama was only in the heads of fans and gossip columns, as the actress has finally come out to speak about Somerhalder's wedding to Reed after dating for only about one year.
In a recent interview with E! Online, the actress was obviously asked about the weight Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder's past relationship had on her life and what she thought about his recent marriage, and she laughed off the drama saying it was just a media invention, stating she was happy after finding out about the wedding.
"I've said this before, that we didn't break up because anything bad happened or because there wasn't love or friendship," the actress said, finally stepping up to speak about Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder's past. "I love him and the friendship is still strong and I think he's great and I care about him. And that didn't change. Yes, we're professional and that's fine. We were friends long before we dated and we still are now."
