Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev and Nikki Reed are seemed to be following the never-ending connection of the infamous vampirish exes Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. According to the latest claims, the former "The Vampire Diaries" costars and real-life exes allegedly have not moved on from their past relationship despite new romances.

Ever since Ian Somerhalder and Nina Nobrev's breakup in May 2013, rumors have it that despite having newfound romances with Nikki Reed and Austin Stowell respectively, the ex-lovers are actually still hung up on their issues. According to Youth Health Magazine, some Hollywood onlookers still believe that Dobrev's relationship with Stowell is just a scheme to make her ex-lover and his wife jealous. They also claimed that the Bulgarian-born actress allegedly thinks that making 36-year-old Somerhalder and Reed believe that she has finally moved on will infuriate them.

While Ian Somerhalder is now happily married to former "Twilight" star Nikki Reed, Nina Dobrev is also creating a new life with boyfriend Austin Stowell, out of the shadow of her former lover and his wife. However, Dobrev and Stowell's PDA-filled sightings are apparently just for a show to benefit both their careers.

"All this PDA and perfectly timed romance seems to align with Nina's push for another career-making role," Celeb Dirty Laundry claimed. "Dobrev was set on a movie career, but hasn't had any project offers. Rumors claim she is now adjusting her goals and is desperate for a role on big show like, 'True Detective' or 'Empire.'"

In spite of the incessant rumors claiming their relationship is fake, Ian Somerhalder's former ladylove Nina Dobrev, 26, and current boyfriend Austin Stowell looked very much in love. In fact, they happily flaunted their romance with passionate PDAs during their tropical and pristine ocean adventure in St. Tropez, just after her "TVD" exit. Movie News Guide also noted the sighting of the lovely couple at the New York Fashion Week.

In addition, "The Final Girls" star and her beau were also seen at the wedding of Kayla Ewell and Tanner Novlan and during Eli Mizrahi's Founding Member launch dinner party, where they looked inseparable and smitten with each other.

"You can tell how much they love each other just by the way they speak and their mannerisms toward one another," a source told E! News. "Austin is such a gentleman and treats Nina with such respect!"

Meanwhile, Ian Somerhalder's ex Nina Dobrev recently slammed the rumors of her apparent comeback in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 7.

"That chapter is closed, sadly - bittersweet," she told Entertainment Weekly. However, she added that she can't wait to see the new season and that she'll be watching since she's very excited for her friends.
