The Vampire Diaries subjected fans to steamy romances as well as heart-wrenching endings of love stories. Its spinoff series, The Originals, also brought the viewers plenty of romance on screen alongside violence—but off screen, the real-life relationships between the stars were just as sizzling.
With two of the show's former co-stars recently announcing they're dating, even years later, it's time to revisit all the off-screen couples that emerged from the vampire franchise. Let's take a look back at the actors who fell in love at Mystic Falls.
Ian Somerhalder, who played Damon, and Nina Dobrev, who played Elena, matched their off-screen love story with their actual romance between 2010 and 2013. Although they eventually broke up, the two remained friends thereafter.
