'Vampire Diaries' actress Nina Dobrev and series co-star Ian Somerhalder have been linked with each other ever since their split. Even though rumors continue that they are getting back together, the latest rumors seem to confirm that for the moment anyway, they are happy to just remain friends.

The pair have been able to maintain a solid friendship since the split, according to reports, and that has allowed them to remain friends and to move on more easily.

It is unusual for former lovers to keep that friendly relationship after a break-up, but the former real-life couple seems to hold no grudge against each other.

The actress recently revealed in an interview in Nylon magazine's August issue that in order to maintain a friendly relationship with her former boyfriend, she lets only positive encounters into her life while she strongly dismisses any form of negativity.

"I don't like any kind of negativity. I try to be good to everyone, whether it's a love, a friend, an ex," she said, "I'll always try to treat people the way I want to be treated," the actress said, according to The Huffington Post.

Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder were in a relationship for more than three years before breaking it off. The actress also expressed her feeling about international fame that she has achieved by starring in the hit series 'Vampire Diaries'. According to her, she still doesn't even think of herself as famous.

The single actress has been linked to other actors including Liam Hemsworth, but other sources say that the dating rumor about the 'Hunger Games' actor is not true. Nina Dobrev's former boyfriend has also been spotted spending some time with Nikki Reed, and rumors claim that they could be an item.
