‘The Vampire Diaries’ Season 8 Latest Update: Nina Dobrev Still Mum About Her Thrilling Return; Ian Somerhalder Will Be A Daddy Soon?

"The Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev has not confirmed her return in the final season of the show despite rumors surfacing online that she will definitely reprise her role. Meanwhile, her ex-boyfriend Ian Somerhalder is rumored to become a father soon as his wife Nikki Reed is speculated to be pregnant. Will this further affect Dobrev's comeback on "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8?

The "XXX: Return of Xander Cage" actress Dobrev has been busy especially now that she has also joined the cast of another TV show "Workaholics." It is still unclear, however, why the actress has not confirmed her appearance on "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. Some "The Vampire Diaries" fans reportedly believe that her rough break up with Somerhalder is the reason behind her doubt to come back in the show.

"The Vampire Diaries" star Somerhalder, on the other hand, has also been busy filming "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 and reports claimed that he wanted to take his career further and hit the big screens. However, he has not received a project offering yet so his wife Reed apparently thinks that they should focus on their marriage and family, for the time being, CelebDirtyLaundry reported. That said, the couple is now speculated to have a baby soon as evidenced by Reed's dress in the Unlikely Heroes charity benefit they attended in Dallas.

Reed was seen in a long and loose-fitting gown as she walked the red carpet in the said event. Fans were quick to think that she was hiding her baby bump because the couple is not yet ready to announce the pregnancy. "The Vampire Diaries" actor Somerhalder and Reed have not given their official statement about the pregnancy rumors yet so fans are advised to take it with a grain of salt.

Are you one of the fans who want to see Dobrev back on "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8? Let us know why you think Dobrev still refuses to give her final decision about her return on the show. In the meantime, you can also watch Reed and Somerhalder in the video below.
