Nina Dobrev Steers Clear Of Austin Stowell And Ian Somerhalder? Former ‘TVD’ Star Skips Elton John’s Party

Nina Dobrev has managed to avoid her exes, Austin Stowell and Ian Somerhalder, at the Oscars.

Australia Network News reported that former "The Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev attended the 2016 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on Sunday night. She wore a blush gown with floral accents designed by Elie Saab for the event which was held at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.

The publication noted that Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder attended Elton John's party as a couple in 2013, two months before they broke up. Last year, the "Final Girls" actress went to the party hosted by the iconic pop star.

However, this year, Dobrev opted to skip Elton John's viewing party. It may be caused by Ian Somerhalder and his wife, Nikki Reed, attending the event together.

This is said to have surprised fans because the actress has always insisted that she and her ex-boyfriend have remained friends after they split up.

Another reason for Nina Dobrev skipping the party may have been Austin Stowell. The couple ended their relationship after seven months of dating, according to E! News.

"It started to get hard with both of their schedules," a source said. "They remain on good terms."

CDL speculated that Nina Dobrev and Austin Stowell's breakup may have been caused by the actress' sexy performance on "Lip Sync Battle."

The former "TVD" star did a sultry number and grinded on Tim Tebow's leg for her rendition of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get it On." Apparently, the actor must have been furious to see his lady love bumping and grinding on national television.

It was previously reported that Nina Dobrev may return for "The Vampire Diaries" season 7 if it has been confirmed to be the last season for the series.

"There is still a chapter of [Elena's] story left to be told," Julie Plec admitted. She added that she'll "take [Dobrev] for whatever she's willing to do to tell that story."
