Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev Gush Over Relationship

Both are involved in heated Fashion Face-Offs at the moment - versus Britt Robertson HERE, and Wilson Bethel HERE - but Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev have taken a few moments to talk openly about their relationship for the first time.

The Vampire Diaries co-stars were outed as a couple this summer, photographed in Paris together, and they each gushed about the other on Saturday night at The CW premiere party in Burbank, CA.

"She truly enjoys life," Somerhalder told Us Weekly of Dobrev, who dates his on-scren brother, Stefan, on the aforementioned (AWESOME!) CW drama. "Her desire to experience and appreciate everything around her, and chuckle and enjoy it, is great."

The actress gave a similar reason for why she has fallen for Somerhalder.

"He always has a positive outlook and positive energy, and he's always happy," she said. "He is a glass-half-full kind of guy, not half-empty."

The Vampire Diaries returns with new episodes this Thursday, September 15. Visit our friends at TV Fanatic all summer long for the most up-to-date spoilers.
