Nina Dobrev Gets Engaged To Boyfriend Austin Stowell Ahead Of Ex 'The Vampire Diaries' Star's Birthday?

The relationship between "The Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev and boyfriend Austin Stowell have been going on for a while, but have they taken the next step and gotten engaged?

During the New Year, Nina Dobrev shared a photo on Instagram kissing boyfriend Austin Stowell amid the snow white background in Utah where she rented a cabin for a whooping $5,000 a night.

But the comments are replete with "The Vampire Diaries" fans who just couldn't get over the fact that Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder have already broken up.

"I know that hahah its been years since they have broken up," one of her followers wrote. "But it would be really nice if they just broke up with whoever they're with and just get back together and make mini nian babies."

Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder split two years ago and various rumors alleged that "The Vampire Diaries" star wasn't' quite over with the handsome hunk marrying her best friend, Nikki Reed.

"Did Nina Dobrev and Austin Stowell get engaged over the holidays?" wondered Celebrity Dirty Laundry. "The ex-Vampire Diaries star's Instagram photos hint at the possibility. Dobrev shared a pic of the cute couple bundled up in ski gear just on the brink of a New Year's kiss while enjoying time on the snowy slopes."

Three days ago, Nina Dobrev shared a throwback Instagram photo of the time when she showed off her baking skills to boyfriend Austin Stowell. The former "The Vampire Diaries" star captioned the image, "Throwing it back to the other day when I baked a Carrot Birthday Cake. #HappyBirthday/Christmas #RudolfTheRedNosedAustin."

Nina Dobrev and Austin Stowell were first reported to be dating in the summer of last year after they were snapped getting cozy at the Indianapolis 500 and later at the Hallmark Shoebox at the Improv.

To date, Nina Dobrev and boyfriend Austin Stowell have yet to comment on the rumors that they are already engaged.
