Lol I just started watching TVD on Netflix, and while I don't care if they get back together, I really just need to catch up on the gossip of what happened behind the scenes.
They literally explained why they broke up when they did. They said Ian wanted to get married and have kids and Nina didn't. That's where the age difference came in. Ian was ready to settle down and Nina wasn't. She wanted to live her life as a young person focusing on her career. They said all that shit already.
Incorrect. In an interview she said if Ian has proposed, she’d be wearing a ring right then. This whole thing is incorrect. The family knows the truth.
@@alwaysannelise Maybe in that interview she changed her mind or something and said that but all the interviews and articles I saw said what I said. I think at one point she regreted it. But it seems she is over it now.
Maynardo That’s why the fandom is so rude to Nikki, Ian and also Bodhi now a days. No wonder why we never see their daughter cause of the Delena fans being so damn rude
That’s SO not true, but yeah, I can totally see why you would say that. Funny thing is, they didn’t actually care. Nina didn’t, anyway-about the silly fan craziness over the relationship status. None of their business. Nosy Parker’s!!!!
Ian and Nina does not look like they are 10 years apart... Edit: I mean no disrespect to both of the actors. I think they are both attractive. Another Edit: This is just a comment about how these actors/actresses look young for their age there is no need to bring these actors/actresses down I meant nothing bad with my comment there’s no need to be rude to each other in the reply section
Because Ian looks and always looked younger than his real age is. Nina,on the other hand, looks older than 30 which is her real age. She aged so badly.
Nina Dobrev may be young ........ but she has the wisdom of someone in their mid-forties ..... I can see why Ian still wants her in his life as a friend ...... she seems to be the type of friend that will always be there when you need her.
I shipped Nina and Ian so damn hard, but he is married now and has a child. It is really disrespectful that people are still shipping them or talking about their relationship till now. We should respect him, his wife, and his child.
quirky april because he should be w Nina not that other female. Just because they have a kid doesn't mean anything. I see them getting married in the future. I don't see him and Nikki lasting tbh
Blck Rose- You have serious issues lol. You seem like you’re probably idk 12? Children are what makes a family. He has a child. Nina and Ian hate each other now They are not even friends nor do they have or want anything to have anything to do with each other. They have moved on. And so should you.
Isabel Reynolds They don’t hate each other tf, they may not have contact or follow each other on social media but they still have mutual respect for each other.
Blck Rose- that other female? You mean the mother of his child, and the love of his life, his freaking wife?! No offense but get over it, ur so disrespectful, yes Ian and Nina had an amazing relationship but weren’t meant for each other because they wanted different things in life. Respect niki this is so awful
Actually not at all...You really need to watch her interviews, then you will see that she can not even speak about relevant things. She just tries to be funny when she really is not
Supposedly it was because Nina wasn't ready to start a family and settle down yet. And Ian was so it just wasn't gonna work and they were better as friends then a couple.
Al Pacino FanForever she’s not blaming no one. She’s just saying what possibly happened... that’s it. No one should be blaming anyone for a natural breakup (unless there’s cheating of some sort).
Taylor Calafiore exactly that was just the rumor all the news medias put out at the time. Honestly i think they just grew apart and realized they were better as friends.
@Al Pacino FanForever no one blaming tho so what are you talking about all they said was cause Nina wasnt ready to settle down and that's fine just bad timing they wanted different things so it was best they split
Al Pacino FanForever it can be because she was young or because she just doesn’t want kids. She’s in her 30s now and seems to still not be ready to settle down which is also fine. I’m glad both are happy.
Cecila Bowers That’s because of the break up.... and also due to her fans being so rudely immature towards his wife and family which is why he could barely work with Nina in the finale. I don’t blame him though
@@swiftie4ever2010 Ian's unprofessional so yea he should take ALL of the blame...They were broken up in seasons 5 and 6 yet still carried amazing chemistry.
My best friend is my ex. If the breakup was bad, then yeah perhaps not staying friends is the better option, but it doesn't always have to be like that. I hope more people embrace her philosophy :)
Tova Ek I agree. Sometimes you can easily be friends after some time has passed. However, if it was a bad breakup, and you can’t get along after, it’s okay to not have a friendship with your ex. You can wish the best for your ex and not be their friend
How do you do with the attraction? I can’t imagine being friends with my ex just for that reason. I would love to be friends with him but we always made it awkward...
Can't imagine that working with a new Partner when he/she finds out and doesn't have the same Situation, I don't mean it in a negative way, I just can't imagine it
When they broke up Nina told that it was because he wanted to get married soon and start a family and she still did wanna work, have fun and travel with friends so they weren't compatible anymore
@Lyric Read well please, if you marry someone and yet you don't want too, yo have a lowwww self steam, mainly because the think the will never find someone
It’s funny cuz Ian has basically stated that he hates delena fans because they’re problematic about the show relationship and about his real life relationships and has hardcore shipped stelena and Bamon (he’s shipped Bamon since like season 2 tho) and now here are these same delena fans trying to speculate about his relationship and family 7 YEARS later. They dated for 3 years and then broke up, but clearly both have moved on so GET OVER IT and stop bothering Ian and Nina jfc
Wow that would have been an amazing endgame. The fact that Elena professed her undying love to Stefan and then a few weeks later fell magically in love with Damon ruined her character for me. The Elena they made over the first few seasons never would have allowed herself to betray Stefan like that. Like it’s HIS BROTHER. it should have been Stelena or Elena ends up ALONE or with someone else. Not this forced chemistry between nina and Ian which you could see diminished after they broke up in my opinion. delena’s chemistry was far better when they weren’t dating and Elena hated Damon lol :/
@@hermoinegee1111 I honestly thought the show was more fun when Elena was with Stefan. Not only the storyline but delena also ruined Damon's character at least according to me.
Well "kindhearted"....Except the fact that she made fun of death and incest. She also slept with so many men after Ian. There is a BIG reason why all men escaped from her.
@@annakarinnombre305 She slept with men after break up? Omg, what a shame. She's free woman. And you don't even know if that happened. Even if did, its her body and her choice. Plus, she didn't joke about anything y'all just find reasons to hate her😭
I mean, she was 24. She wasn't ready for children. She didn't want to be tied down. Can't blame her for that. I'd like to experience independent life first without the responsibility of a child, and Ian probably wanted to settle down and have kids and she just didn't want that yet. They were and still are at two completely different stages in their lives, and if you aren't on the same page in a relationship, it's probably best to leave it where it is and move on in you're own directions.
It was pretty much, they’re just kinda ram-baling in this. She was younger and wanted to try and continue her career first. He’s happy in his new relationship. She’s happy for them. It ended a long time ago and they’re still friends. They still love each-other, just not like that.
First off, I just want to say that it felt like they were together a lot longer than 3 years. Secondly, I am glad that they weren't endgame because at the time, Nina had so much living and exploration to do as well as her career was just beginning whereas Ian had already done that. I think if they had actually gotten married/stayed together, Nina's career probably would have been sidelined. I very much liked the two together and was sad when they broke up but now that I am an adult I am glad they both seem to have found what they were looking for. Nina is living her life and travelling and Ian has the family he always wanted.
@@mariemuller8447 Well, I just came here to comment this for the absurdity of the situation, not because I care what Ian and Nina are doing with their lives, or why they broke up - it's pathetic how some people have nothing to do but to go years back and talk about why some other people broke up, like wtf get a life, even the ex couple itself does not talk/think about it anymore 😒😑
Betsy Amos maybe you should watch the video before you pass judgement. Also this was very much needed because delusional delena fans are need to understand they just had different goals in life and moved on.
@@blerdyveetv the problem is that the same videos and same articles have been written over and over again for years and the fans still don't get it. It's better at this point to just leave it alone
Lindsey Coleman this is my first time watching a video on what happened. There are many rumors about their break up that hurts both their reputations and a lot speculation about the topic that this video cleared up for me. Not everyone has seen those videos.
My theory is that Ian wanted to settle down and start a family, and Nina did not. So, they split up and Ian then found someone who was ready to settle down and start a family.
@@struggleskywalker1025 - Well, I don’t know them, and I don’t read the tabloids, so I only have a theory that I’m highly sure is the truth. If I knew it for a fact, then I could have stated it as such. But I don’t, so I won’t.
I don't get why people are still hung up on their relationship and why it ended. I mean, they were a cute couple and all but they have moved on. Ian is married with a beautiful baby and Nina is living her life as well. I just think people should kind of lay off, they broke up 6 years ago.
@Laura Butuner Yes, I love Tvd and ship Delena to the end! But Nina and Ian aren't their characters, they have a life outside Mystic Falls and people seem to forget that.
Laura Butuner And they love to hate on Nikki his wife just because Ian is not with Nina... how sad. This is not a TV show anymore. Ian can be with other girls. He can’t be with someone from whom he shipped with.
and kayla ewell, who is also best friends with Nina. anyway if you check all actors they all don't follow each other and between them. that isn't a big deal people.
I believe that if your ex was a good person and you were treated well I don't find a reason to hate them. When you are over them and you get along well, why don't be friends?
Of course they are still friends wtf??? They just live countries apart and Nina travels all the time so they don't see each other, maybe once a year at best.
I think it's great that they are still close to each as friends even though they broke up. I'm very glad they both enjoy their lives and no extra drama was added.
Can we appreciate her for a mintute she's too strong she managed her brake up with Ian like a pro bcoz we all know they were still in love when the broke up and she seems more in pain at first bcoz she faced the betrayal
i’m a delena fan but it has nothing to do with the actors. i don’t ship actors or real life people because that’s just hella disrespectful especially since they have moved on and stuff. i ship damon and elena, not nina and ian.
I think it takes an enormous amount if maturity to decide to separate like that. When one of the two partners wants to build a family and the other one feels too young to commit it can be heartbreaking. It usually happens when there is an age gap between the partners, but it can happen in any case and situation. It's the kind of stuff most people decide to ignore until the last possible minutes, and I do not think it's healthy for a relationship to drag that far.
People over exaggerate too much when it comes to dramas. I don’t blame Ian for not liking the delena fans. I’m a fan of the vampire diaries and I shipped them too but I wasn’t so hardcore about it. It’s just a show and they just happened to get casted and it was a part of the script. Chill.
I really love Delena, and it always sucks to hear that shippers treated the actors poorly or crossed the line from fiction to reality. It seems to happen with all ships and fandom, and then everyone gets a bad reputation for it. I wish everyone could just keep the ships away from the actors, or at least not harass them about it. :(
Not trying to be controversial but I personally think their chemistry on the show DID get worse after they broke up? There's a huge difference between their chemistry in the first several seasons and then in season 6 and the series finale it just felt...idk, a bit forced and wooden by comparison. I don't care about who they date (not sure why this was in my recommendeds at all) -- the real disappointment for me was that the CHARACTERS I loved no longer had the chemistry that made me ship them all those years before. Just my take.
Agreed but the chemistry was REAL when they did that last dance before Elena went to ‘sleep’ in her dream if you know what I mean😅 always get goosebumps
If you see The TVD last episode you could notice that Nina play was nothing but professional. Also she handled this breakup situation on set very well and mature. At the same time Ian's play was so off. He was completely frozen. Also there was promo interviews after their breakup where Ian behavior towards Nina was so shady. I remember there was a lot of insides from the sources. Basically they were saying that Ian made Nina felt uncomfortable and excluded on set. Also he constantly brought Nikki on set. Come on Nina literally left the show. I remember their photos from parties and picnics during season 6. There was everyone except Nina, including Nikki and she even was not part of the show. Candice King didn't bring his partner, no one did except Ian. I don't know why everyone trying to play it cool because there totally was some drama going on.
At the end of the day SHE was the one who was unprofessional. She left the show, he stayed.And sorry but her acting in last episode was terrible. No emotions, nothing.
@@riannasoukop4226 No emotions? She cried and was happy. It's normal after a situation that they've been through. Everyone had a feeling of confusion of their emotions. Elena probably feels guilty and grief as well. Nina's departure was actually planned from the get go, Julie said so. They weren't expecting the show to be as successful as it became. She left because she didn't want the series to hold her back from other actions positions, etc. I think almost every actor wanted to move on from the series from that point. Nina's departure allowed the series to focus on how Stefan and Damon are as individuals and their evolution.
@@shannonchang2614 You are way too naive if you think all those things about Nina. She played the main character, yet she ruined the show. She obviously couldn't handle that situation with her ex well. Her reason that she left the show bc she wanted to focus on big screen become international joke after she went back to small screen and playing in sitcom.
Thought it was cos he wanted to start settling down, get married and have kids etc, but that nina wasnt ready to settle down that fast and wanted to live life more.
Here’s my opinion on this, they broke up and everyone is sad I get it, it makes me sad because they were so cute together but in the end he is married and has a child with the women he loves. People will always have a special place in their heart Ian and Nina together because of TVD and how they were with each other. I understand why people still ship them together but I also understand why people say to leave Ian and Nina alone about them still being shipped together. If you are going to make edits don’t tag them because you want them to see it, I get you want to be noticed by someone you really love but with them not being in a relationship now for a long with and Ian being married. I think though that Nina and Ian will have to just push past the edits if they don’t like them because their breakup impacted the media and everyone perspective on things. Not only did they breakup but it caused a strange feeling on the show they both starred on since they became the main couple and then when Nina left people speculated they it was because of their breakup and it may have been a little but she wanted to have a change in her acting career and start something new. In the end, Ian and Nina will just have to live with the fact that people will always like them together rather than Ian and Nikki. Now if was the other way around it would probably be the same because of their connection on TVD.
@Selma Aww I love you too hun 😊❤ Thanks for your sweet words. Yeah, I love SE and they get ragged on by DErs without reason. It's not only annoying but it's unfair because we as fans have put for abuse and another fanbase's entitlement for years.
Leena Raphael Yeah, she stated in an interview that she still loves and respects him. They’re on good terms. Just because you’re not with somebody doesn’t mean you can’t love them. They might not be good together as a couple but they were together for a reason, and that reason allowed them to maintain a strong relationship as co stars and as friends.
Its been too long to be worried still about their break up. However I did love them together on the show but that was fake, we never truly knew how their relationship was.
Maybe they discussed it a lot and she wasn’t ready for that. But he was getting to a point where he was tired of waiting for her to be ready. Men are not going to propose at the possibility of being rejected and even she did say yes why propose if he knew she wasn’t ready. Not fair or right. He probably felt like he was getting old and didn’t want to wait for her to change her mind. They both wanted different things. Which is very mature to break up instead of delaying it
It’s understandable why Nina probably wasn’t ready for marriage and kids... she was young like in her 20s and Ian was in his 30s... she was still young and her acting career was just getting started... she wasn’t ready to settle down yet and put her whole life on pause yet at a young age!!! If they were to have kids that would put a tole on her acting career and she wasn’t ready for that
Like I’ve said and will always say, Ian was 30 when recording season 1. Nina was 20 years olds. He had 10 years in adult hood while she was barely a minor a couple years before. He was already a man who wanted marriage and kids of course. Nina wanted to enjoy her peek in adult hood and wanted to enjoy her career. They split and Ian was ready a year later for marriage with nikki. The reason why I love Ian and Nina is because of how mature and how much love they have with one another. She’s really good friends with them while she has a bf of her own. I think us the fans need to have respect for them.
i think they are not friends anymore because they don't follow each other on social media and every time paul puts a picture with Ian so Nina doesn't hit like on the picture
I wonder what will Somerholder's child will have to say when he grows up knowing that delena fans will continue to talk about them for a further twenty years
I have heard that they even abuse and talk dirty about his child. That is so sick. Delena fans are so immature.. sometimes I feel so bad for Nikki and Ian lol. Like they don't deserve this.
My question is if Ian and Nina are still friends in real life and are on good terms why don't they follow each other on social media? It's actually the reason why I was brought to this video because I recently started watching the show and I just followed the main cast on instagram today and I noticed neither followed each other. I know it's none of my business and they deserve a break but it doesn't stop me from wondering why. I may be reading to deep into the situation but still.
You are reading too deep. A relationship, friendship or otherwise is not defined by who you follow on social media. Heck, half the cast doesn't follow each other, but that doesn't mean they hate each other.
People keep saying that the end scene was awkward because Ian didn't want to shoot with Nina so how did he act so perfectly when Nina was playing Katherine in the same episode? He looked sad throughout the end scenes because he last the person whom he love the most even more than Elena and he had to live with the fear that he won't ever see him again.
tbh, i still ship delena but the delena fans dont need to come for him or his family after 7 years of him and nina splitting. ian's happy so any delena fan hating on nikki and ian, just get lost and mind ur own business, they're in love and their relationship doesnt concern u.
@happy baby ikr, they need to leave nikki and ian alone because they love eachother. they cant base the chemistry off elena and damon because they were just acting!
Their marriage already lasted 5 years though, so obviously they know what they were doing. Sometimes you know when you know and what's the point in waiting then?
I have seen couples that have been together for 10 years and after a year of marriage they get divorced so time doesn't always mean that a relationship will work.
Is this a rule? To wait at least 6 months after a breakup when they are already on the good terms and both have accepted it? There is nothing weird about it. Only weird thing here is your thinking of this thought.
Its nothing compared to here people get married after just a day of meeting each other its called arranged marriage And surprisingly some actually last for a lifetime together 🤷♀️
and if someone famous kept their relationship as secrets they are not honest and everyone come after them! i see now why actors and singer don't like to give all the details about their lives.. especially if it's personal :|
Jeez, I get it. Majority of the female population love Delena but videos like these need to stop. They’ve both moved on. I love Delena myself but that doesn’t give people a right to go and insult Nikki, all she did was fall in love and we can’t condemn her for that. Nina wasn’t ready to settle down at the time, Ian was... it didn’t work out which is a shame but that’s life.
Kelly Marie They make hate pages for Nikki everyday just because Nina didn’t want to “marry” Ian when Nina said so herself that it was just a false rumor. The hate on Nikki? Needs to be stopped
I’m surprised why no one was already aware as to why they split? When they split up there was a lot of rumors about how he wanted to settle down and she just wasn’t ready.
I can also give you the REAL DEAL about Jennifer Gray & Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing!! She hated him and was dating Mathew Broderick,LOTS of drama on that one!!
it was definitely just the age differrence. ian was ready to get married and start a family and nina wasn't ready for that yet, she was still in her early 20s.
