Time to revisit a beloved chapter in one of the best diaries to ever exist. Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder, also better known to The Vampire Diaries fans as Elena and Damon, were once the most talked-about couple (both and on-and-off screen) when the two began dating in 2010.

Did any of the Vampire Diaries actors date?

Candice Accola and Zach Roerig were in a two-year relationship after she briefly dated Steven R. McQueen. And Joseph Morgan and Persia White fell in love on the set when they both joined the show in season three, going on to get married in July 2014.

When were Nina and Ian together?

Dobrev, 32, and Somerhalder, 42, started dating in 2010 and took their romance public in 2012. They split in 2013, but they continued to work together until the Canadian actress left the show in 2015 (though she returned for the 2017 series finale).
