The last run of "The Vampire Diaries" was plagued with either Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder dating news or Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed divorce. All the said reports remained unconfirmed as of writing. Now that "The Vampire Diaries" can be considered as a closed chapter, Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley dating news have been making headlines recently.

If Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley dating rumors are true, it would certainly be considered as a classic case of a second lead syndrome. While Dobrev and Somerhalder took their on-screen relationship to a whole new level by becoming a couple in real life, it's not impossible for "The Vampire Diaries" heroine to date Wesley either.

According to Entertainment Weekly, reports about Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley dating most probably began circulating when talks about a possible "The Vampire Diaries" spin-off broke out, with the two celebrities allegedly tapped to play the lead roles. While the three main characters died in "The Vampire Diaries" finale, the possible spinoff spoilers revealed that Dobrev and Wesley's characters, Elena and Stefan, might be returning to play the lead roles.

It is still unclear as to how the writers will manage to bring Elena and Stefan back to life but it will not be so difficult considering that the series is a supernatural/fiction genre. If anything, "The Vampire Diaries" spinoff is not really intriguing the fans not like Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley dating news is.

According to Korea Portal, Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley's dating relationship have been an intriguing discussion for the fans, ever since the latter ended his eight-year relationship with Phoebe Tonkin. Dobrev's return to film "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 have been a breeze despite the fact that she had to work with her now-married ex-boyfriend, Ian Somerhalder, thanks to Paul Wesley's presence and support.

As of writing, reps for "The Vampire Diaries" alums have yet to comment on the alleged dating relationship. Stay tuned to Enstars for more Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley dating news and updates!
