Rumors surfaced when "The Vampire Diaries," star Nina Dobrev posted on her social media site, Instagram, a photo of Michael Trevino just a night out of playing bowling. The two are friends and have known each other as they are both in the hit television series, "The Vampire Diaries."

The hit television show is said to have been signed for a sixth season, so fans won't have to worry about what takes place with Elena and Damon, the two who used to be a real life couple. The question now really is, is Nina Dobrev and Michael Trevino dating? If so, what does Ian Somerhalder think about this?

Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder dated for years until they recently split and fans were all broken hearted. The stars have always been open about their relationship and have even joked about it at awards shows. Can they joke about Nina Dobrev dating co-star Michael Trevino?

The controversial Instagram post triggered speculations over the Internet and also with the fans of the television series if Dobrev has finally moved on from Somerhalder. The post which shows the back of Trevino while they were at a bowling place sparked various stories that the two are dating.

There have not been any comments from both parties and by the looks of it; the two are just friends hanging out during the weekend. There have also been speculations that this was just a way for Dobrev to get back at her former beau, Ian Somerhalder after reports of flirting with former "Lost" co-star Maggie Grace. Is Dobrev trying to make her man feel jealous by hanging out with Trevino, we can't really tell but it just goes to show that maybe, it is likely that the two may be dating and both have finally moved on from whatever they had used to have.
