Nina Dobrev is taking a bite out of another year of life today.
The actress, in the midst of filming The Vampire Diaries Season 6, is now 26 years old!
Fresh off a People’s Choice Awards win, the beautiful brunette got her big break playing a single mother on Degrassi: The Next Generation.
She has starred as Elena Gilbert (and, on occasion, as Katherine Pierce) on the aforementioned CW drama since its very first episode, meeting long-time boyfriend Ian Somerhalder on set.
But the pair broke up in early 2014 (much to the dismay of a rabid fan base) and Dobrev has not found a steady romance since.
A talented dancer, Dobrev also has mad giant beer pong skills and at least has a sense of humor about all the dating rumors that have circulated around her for months.
Overall, we’re big fans of Nina Dobrev and we wish her the happiest of birthdays!
