It seems that Nina Dobrev has finally recovered from her recent break-up with boyfriend of three years, Ian Somerhalder. Reports are now saying that the "Vampire Diaries" actress is dating "Dancing with the Stars" hunk, Derek Hough.

The two were initially rumored to be romantically-linked when reports of them being on a date surfaced way back in August. Sources say the two met through Hough's sister, Julianne.

According to reports, Julianne was very protective of her bestfriend, Dobrev, and was also quite choosy with who her brother dates. The result is a blossoming love affair between her bestfriend and her brother.

"[Nina] was hanging a lot with Derek's sister Julianne," a source told Us Weekly. "Then she fell for him."

"They were set up by Julianne. It got serious really fast and they're inseparable," a source told Life & Style magazine. "They're already saying 'I love you.' Now they're talking about having her go to 'Dancing with the Stars' to support him."

The "Vampire Diaries" actress has certainly made her fondness of the "Dancing with the Stars" hunk loud and clear. Her recent activities in social media sites spill her feelings for Hough.

When Hough won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography for "Dancing with the Stars: All Stars," the actress expressed her joy on her Instagram account.

"@Derekdough !!!!!!!! #EMMYWINNER I cant express in 140 characters how unbelievably excited+incredibly proud I am of you. You deserve this :)," she wrote.

The actress also posted a photo of her bestfriend, Julianne, and the 28-year old Emmy Award winner on the red carpet when she couldn't tag along with them.

"@juleshough You looked absolutely STUNNING last night ! @derekhough I wish I wasnt filming so I could have been there to celebrate w/u guys! " she captioned the Emmy photo of the siblings.

Representatives for both parties have yet to confirm dating rumors between the two.
