Actress Nina Dobrev recently revealed that she does not plan to marry her The Vampire Diaries co-star Ian Somerhalder just yet, saying that they’re too young to be married. Earlier this month, it was reported that Somerhalder had proposed and Dobrev had turned him down. However, Nina Dobrev’s representative had claimed that the floating rumors were not true.

Commenting on the rumors, Nina Dobrev told Access Hollywood, “[The story is] not true at all… [I would] be wearing a ring if I had one… [Getting married young is] not my [style]. I’m young. I’m really young. It’s not like back in the day where you have to get married and have your children by 18. I’m a career woman and a young, very driven woman, and I’ve got a lot I have to accomplish before I settle down and have kids and do any of that.

Ian Somerhalder stated, “It’s not true. If it were true, I would admit to it, ’cause getting turned down builds character!

I’m glad that Nina Dobrev had considered her young age before planning to get married; she still has a lot of opportunities to accomplish ahead of her! Hopefully, the two will eventually get married someday though!
