Chace Crawford Helps Nina Dobrev Move On From Austin Stowell? Ian Somerhalder Wants Another Chance?
Fans may still be processing the news of Nina Dobrev and Austin Stowell, but there are new speculations that the former "The Vampire Diaries" star may already be involved with somebody new - none other than her friend and "Gossip Girl" Alum, Chace Crawford.
A source previously told E! News that Dobrev and Stowell have indeed called it quits after months of dating.
"It started to get hard with both their schedules," an insider said, as quoted by E! Online. "Austin was filming a lot and in the past month, they barely saw each other. They remain on good terms."
The couple may have purportedly ended their romance in late January or early February, but fans only noticed that something was off last Valentine's weekend.
"Fans started wondering exactly what was up between these two when Nina went to the Super Bowl with friends (minus Austin) and celebrated Galentine's Day instead of Valentine's Day," Seventeen reported.
With Austin Stowell out of the picture, is there a possibilit that the former "The Vampire Diaries" actress is now dating her buddy, Chace Crawford?
"Nina obviously isn't too torn up about her break-up from Stowell because on Tuesday, February 17 she was spotted out on the town with Chace Crawford, and supposedly the two actors are much more than friends," Celeb Dirty Laundry wrote.
"Nina and Chace were spotted at the Villa Lounge bar in West Hollywood, and they headed to Bootsy Bellows for a nightcap. Sources say that Nina and Chace definitely looked like they could be on a date, and they couldn't keep their hands to themselves," the report continued.
"Ironically, this isn't the first time that rumors have popped up about Nina and Chace Crawford. Dobrev has been "friends" with Chace for several years, and they spent the last two Thanksgivings together with each others' families."
Austin Stowell may be Nina Dobrev's first relationship after her breakup with Ian Somerhalder, who is now married to Nikki Reed.
With rumors circulating that Somerhalder and Reed are purportedly having relationship troubles, is Ian Somerhalder wishing that he could have a second chance with Dobrev now that she's single?
It may be unlikely. Though Somerhalder and Reed have been keeping mum on the issue that they're on the verge of a divorce, there are reports claiming that their marriage is very much intact and that they're even trying to conceive.
Meanwhile, Nina Dobrev is yet to comment on rumors that there is blooming romance between her and Chace Crawford after her split with Austin Stowell.
