Nina Dobrev- Seventeen Magazine

"You just cant help who you have a connection to."

Nina Dobrev will be gracing the cover of Seventeen magazines October issues. According to people.com, Dobrev finally speaks out about her relationship with her co-star and talks about the struggles she faced in the beginning trying to avoid a work relationship. Her efforts clearly failed. 

In her very first Seventeen magazine cover, which dates back about two years ago,  Dobrev recalls the headline being, "Why I would never date a co-star." Dobrev indicates that at the time she started work on The Vampire Diaries and wanted everything to stay professional and strictly business oriented. 

Forward to today and Dobrev is dating her sexy, and just a tad bit older co-star, Ian Somerhalder. Although the couple kept their relationship private for quite some time, the chemistry was inevitable.  "Sometimes you can't help who you have a connection with, and you can only fight it for so long – which I did for a really, really long time," Dobrev said. 

Heres what I think happened. She walked in on set,  laid eyes on Somerhalder and said "Oh crap." The rest is history. Come on, who could ever resist those eyes and that charm??? Can you blame the girl. Even though these off-screen relationships can be very cute and inspiring, we have seen a lot go down the drain (cough Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush). I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this one will prove everyone wrong. They really do make the perfect couple! 

The Seventeen article also touches on how Dobrev spends her weekends away from her beau, mainly indulging in girl time with the ladies from The Vampire Diaries. "We go to dinner or cook dinner together, watch movies, lie on the beach and take tons of pictures. This year, we went to Disney World. I wanted to have funnel cake and pop, and just be immature with my girls," Dobrev said. 

If you think that her very hands on romance will take her away from her goals as an actress, you might just be wrong. Apart from filming a very intense season of TVD, Dobrev will also appear in the highly anticipated film,The Perks of Being a Wallflower later on this year.
