Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed are still being talked about by various news outlets, even if they have all moved on from the past. However, new rumors have pointed out that they could actually still be hung up in their issues.
Celebrity Dirty Laundry is convinced that Dobrev's relationship with Austin Stowell is just a ploy to make her former boyfriend and his new wife jealous. Apparently, she believes that making Somerhalder and Reed believe that she has moved on will piss them off.
"It would certainly be an easy way to seemingly end the constant association with Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed," said an insider. It looks like dating Stowell will benefit Dobrev in more ways than one. In addition to proving to the public and the press that she does not want to be connected to Somerhalder and Reed anymore, it may also be an effective way of making the other couple jealous of her newfound happiness.
Dobrev and Stowel were recently seen together during Eli Mizrahi's Founding Member launch dinner party. Despite rumors that their relationship is only a ploy and that they do not really have any feelings for one another, an eyewitness has revealed that the couple looked very much in love.
"You can tell how much they love each other just by the way they speak and their mannerisms toward one another," the insider told EOnline. "Austin is such a gentleman and treats Nina with such respect!"
The International Business Times has reported that Dobrev has already moved on from "The Vampire Diaries" as well and that she is looking forward to expanding her career ventures. According to the report, she has plans of landing a major role in "True Detective" and "Empire." "All this PDA and perfectly timed romance seems to align with Nina's push for another career-making role," said the source.
