Nina Dobrev skyrocketed to global fame with her breakout role as Elena Gilbert on The Vampire Diaries — but apparently, that breakout came with some major relationship drama.
In a recent appearance on Jessica Szohr’s XOXO podcast, Nina revealed that being cast on the hit CW series led to a breakup for her.
While talking about the audition process for the show, she shared that at the time, she was dating an actor who was being considered for the role of Damon Salvatore. She did not reveal his identity, only saying:
They were gonna choose him, but they ended up not choosing him.
But I got cast. And then it got awkward.”
That seemed to be the beginning of the end, as the couple did not last for much longer:
“We broke up.”
The part of Damon Salvatore eventually went to Ian Somerhalder. Ian and Nina were together from 2010 to 2013.
