His breakthrough came in 2009 when he was cast as Damon Salvatore on the supernatural drama TV series The Vampire Diaries and worked alongside co-stars Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley.
Ian’s relationship with actress Nina Dobrev since 2010 was widely known. As co-stars of The Vampire Diaries, a lot of their fans wished that their relationship will lead to wedding vows. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a problem with their relationship that’s why they eventually broke up in 2013.
Ian, however, was rumored to be once again dating another actress in the person of Malese Jow, who happened to also be one of the cast of The Vampire Diaries during the previous seasons. Their dating seemed to be no more than just friendship because these days, the actor is currently dating no one. So girls, time to do some happy dance!
