Nina Dobrev’s most memorable role is arguably her portrayal of Elena Gilbert in Vampire Diaries. Fans of the show still ship her relationship with Ian Somerhalder’s character Damon Salvatore. The pair also dated in real life from 2010 to 2013, so when some fans thought it was the right time to remind everyone of this coupling on Dobrev’s current partner’s birthday, it felt wrong!
Dobrev is in a serious relationship with Olympian Shaun White, but the pair first sparked romance rumors in early 2020. They have made no secret about their happiness, and the actress regularly gives fans a glimpse into her life and relationship on social media. So, for White’s birthday, she celebrated him with a collection of photos from their time together.
She got emotional in the caption: “it’s so hard to go through years of photos and narrow down the ones to post for your birthday. there are too many photos, too many adventures, too much laughter, too many cute moments, too many trips, too many inside jokes, too many memories and of course way too many photos that are too inappropriate to post. I love to too much birthday boy.”
To most people, this is a beautiful moment to celebrate the love between two people. However, some fans have posted Damon and Elena’s GIFs in the comments. There are also comments like, “I’m sorry, but we all know who is her real soulmates.”
Fans React To The Damon And Elena Pictures In The Comments
Some people find the behavior of others to be disrespectful, and they called them out in the post’s comments. “I find the people who are putting stickers of Damon and Elena disrespectful to them, especially on their partner’s birthday. Let them be happy. Happy birthday to him,” an annoyed fan wrote.
Another fan also defended Dobrev’s relationship. “i actually love them together everyone talks about ian and nina but i’m taking about sean and nina,” they wrote.
Can’t we all ship a relationship that makes our favorite actress happy?
