The unexpected reunion of Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley from The Vampire Diaries has fans in a frenzy. The two former co-stars were spotted hanging out together at Jardin des Tuileries in Paris, as shared by Pop Base on social media. Dobrev looked chic in a black crop top, black pants, a brown trench coat, black sunglasses, and a leather purse, while Wesley sported a white t-shirt, jeans, a baseball cap, and a zip-up jacket. The pair worked together on the hit show for eight years, with Dobrev portraying Elena Gilbert and Wesley playing Stefan Salvatore.
After being seen together publicly in 2024, the two actors have been attending various Paris Fashion Week events. Dobrev graced the Chloé Women’s Wear Fall/Winter show, while Wesley and his fiancée, Natalie Kuckenburg, attended the Elie Saab Women’s Wear Fall/Winter show. The actor even shared photos from Fashion Week on his Instagram, simply captioned “🇫🇷 Paris.”
Despite a rocky start on set in 2009, Dobrev and Wesley eventually became close friends. Their strong bond outlasted the show and sparked rumors of a real-life romance, though Dobrev famously dated another Vampire Diaries co-star, Ian Somerhalder. The show, a supernatural drama about a love triangle involving vampire brothers in Mystic Falls, Virginia, also featured Candice King, Kat Graham, Zach Roeig, Michael Trevino, and Matthew Davis.
The Vampire Diaries can be streamed on Peacock, HBO Max, and Hulu. As Dobrev and Wesley’s unplanned reunion in Paris proves, their off-screen friendship continues to thrive.
