Former "Vampire Diaries" actress Nina Dobrev is reportedly dating "Whiplash" actor Austin Stowell, according to Yahoo! Celebrity.

This marks her first relationship since breaking up with her fellow "Vampire Diaries" co-star Ian Somerhalder in 2013.

E! News reports that Dobrev and Stowell were spotted kissing at an event held at The Improv in West Hollywood on Wednesday, June 10.

They were also spotted arriving together at the Hallmark Shoebox relaunch and E! sources said that they "looked very comfortable and happy together."

Dobrev and Stowell attended the Hallmark Shoebox relaunch with a group of friends and quickly left their group to spend time together over at the Hallmark card station, says an E! News source.

Prior to the news of her new relationship with Stowell, there had been rumors that Dobrev left "Vampire Diaries" so that she wouldn't have to work alongside Somerhalder.

However, Dobrev denied the rumors and told E! News that she and Somerhalder are friends.

"I've said this before, that we didn't break up because anything bad happened or because there wasn't love or friendship," Dobrev told E! News last month.

"I love him and the friendship is still strong and I think he's great and I care about him. And that didn't change. Yes, we're professional and that's fine. We were friends long before we dated and we still are now."

Back in January, news broke out that Somerhalder and new beau Nikki Reed got engaged after six months of dating.

At the time, an Us Weekly source said that Reed "accepted with glee" when Somerhalder proposed and the two are "madly in love."

An E! News source added, "They're so happy. They were crazy happy from the start. Their families love each other. It just feels really right."

Meanwhile, Dobrev and Stowell have yet to publicly confirm their new relationship.
