Nina Dobrev & Ian Somerhalder Open Up About Romance

They’ve been keeping their love to themselves until recently, and now Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder have publicly declared their affection for one another.

US Weekly caught up with the pair at The CW’s Fall Premiere Party in Burbank, California this past weekend where the 32-year-old actor said there are “a million things” he loves about his girlfriend of more than a year.

Ian explained, “She truly enjoys life. Her desire to experience and appreciate everything around her, and chuckle and enjoy it, is great.”

He continued, “When you’re really close to someone, they can make fun of you a lot and get away with it. But they sort of poke you in all of the places — it all makes sense because they know you so well and it really pisses you off, but it forces you to sort of be introspective and ask yourself, ‘Wow, is that really how people see me?’ Apparently so!”

Nina is crazy about her man, too. “He always has a positive outlook and positive energy, and he’s always happy. He is a glass-half-full kind of guy, not half-empty.”

Gearing up for the airing of all-new episodes of their hit series, Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder were both in attendance at The CW premiere party in Burbank, California on Saturday night (September 10).

With the Bing! hosted soiree being held at Warner Brothers Studios, the “Vampire Diaries” co-star couple took separate turns posing for pictures on the arrivals carpet before joining a long guest list of the network’s stars on-hand to celebrate the 2011 fall season.

During a recent interview, Ian chatted about his Damon character’s kiss with Elena (Dobrev) in the second season finale of the show, as he told, “I keep hearing about this ‘passionate kiss’. I don’t know if anyone saw, but [Damon] was also pale white, sweating profusely and bleeding. There wasn’t anything very passionate about it, so I don’t know how much I would read into that, although I do know that he remembers it.”

Somerhalder added, “He makes a mention of it, jabbing at Elena, but illustrating that he definitely remembers it. It didn’t go unnoticed.”

Gearing up for this week’s season premiere, the stars of “The Vampire Diaries” were spotted arriving on a flight at LAX Airport in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday (September 10).

Among the cast members flying the friendly skies together were Nina Dobrev and boyfriend Ian Somerhalder along with Candice Accola and Zach Roerig. The quartet of co-stars could be seen shuffling through the metro terminal side-by-side.

As for the new season, the show welcomes a Tennessee werewolf named Ray Sutton, played by “7th Heaven” alum David Gallagher.

Talking about the gig, Gallagher said, “They’re actually hunting for me, so when I finally encounter them, I get swept into Klaus’ master plan that he has developed around Ray. It’s not the friendliest of encounters. I think the audience is really gonna eat it up. It really has to do with Klaus’ vision of the future.”

The new season of “The Vampire Diaries” gets underway on Thursday, September 15th at 8/7c on the CW network.
