Nina Dobrev announced earlier this month that she is leaving "The Vampire Diaries." Nikki Reed is purportedly relieved that the ex-girlfriend of her fiancé Ian Somerhalder will no longer be working closely with him.
"I always knew I wanted Elena's story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime... Elena fell in love not once, but twice, with two epic soulmates, and I myself made some of the best friends I'll ever know and built an extended family I will love forever," Nina posted on her Instagram account.
Celebrity Dirty Laundry reported that Nikki Reed was worried about Ian's seemingly renewed friendship with Nina recently. It was speculated that the ex-lovers broke up because Nina was not ready to settle down and start a family yet.
"The whole situation with Ian Somerhalder and NikkI Reed's engagement has only hastened Nina's departure. She now feels that things have become more awkward than ever, and as such, doesn't want to stay a minute longer than necessary," the website wrote.
It was previously reported that Ian and Nina ended their friendship as the actor's wedding to Nikki Reed draws near. The relationship between the ex-couple has become more difficult that even the staff of the series tried their best to keep them away from each other.
Nina Dobrev went to the second weekend of Coachella along with pals Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger. The "TVD" actress wore a black and white patterned romper, black hat and sunglasses while strolling hand in hand with Diane and Josh.
Michael Trevino, who plays Tyler Lockwood in the CW television series, will also be leaving the show. Producer and writer Julie Plec was asked by a fan how the story will continue especially now that Elena will no longer be there for season seven.
"All I can say is wait and watch and see. I think you'll find her exit very moving and very respectful of their relationship," Plec tweeted in response.
