Has Close Friendship Turned Into Real-Life Romance for Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley?

By Emmanuelle Espiritu, Christian Post Contributor Thursday, March 23, 2017

They may not have been given a chance to rekindle their past romance in the recently concluded supernatural drama series "The Vampire Diaries (TWD)," but could Paul Wesley and Nina Dobrev be dating in real life?

The two artists who previously played the roles of Stefan and Elena in the now-defunct series have shared a close friendship through the years. But now that Wesley has reportedly split with former partner Phoebe Tonkin, and Dobrev has not been linked with anyone recently, are the two of them ready to take their platonic relationship to the next level?

A source noted several things that could point to a possible secret relationship between Wesley and Dobrev. Like how back in 2013, Dobrev had reportedly made an effort to celebrate Wesley's birthday in style despite having broken up with then-boyfriend, Ian Somerhalder, who played Stefan's older brother, Damon, in "TWD."

Coincidentally, this was also around the time when Wesley announced that he was divorcing his then-wife, Torrey DeVitto, who played a guest starring role in the series. Add to this the fact that Dobrev has made no secret of Wesley being the main reason why she was excited to return to "The Vampire Diaries" for its series finale episode. The actress even gamely shared some behind-the-scenes photographs of the two of them on her social media accounts.

Their close friendship has led to several rumors of their relationship being the reason behind their split with their respective partners, something that the two of them have already denied.

There are no confirmed reports about the matter, just baseless speculations. Wesley and Dobrev themselves have not made any statement to confirm or deny their alleged relationship.

Meanwhile, there have also been reports of Wesley possibly rekindling his romance with Tonkin as the two of them have recently been photographed strolling together at a farmer's market in Los Angeles, California. The two of them have yet to release an official statement on the matter.
