Nina Dobrev Celebrates As Ian Somerhalder's Ex Announces She's Quitting 'The Vampire Diaries'

Nina Dobrev is finally putting the final nail on the coffin on all speculations regarding her future on "The Vampire Diaries" as Ian Somerhalder's ex confirmed that she's leaving the show after six seasons.

In an Instagram post, Nina Dobrev revealed that she spent a weekend at Lake Lanier in Georgia with the cast and crew of "The Vampire Diaries."

"I want to be the first to tell you that it wasn't just a holiday celebration, it was a goodbye party," she wrote. "I always knew I wanted Elena's story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime."

" I was a human, a vampire, a doppelganger, a crazy immortal, a doppelganger pretending to be human, a human pretending to be a doppelganger. I got kidnapped, killed, resurrected, tortured, cursed, body-snatched, was dead and undead, and there's still so much more to come before the season finale in May. Elena fell in love not once, but twice, with two epic soulmates, and I myself made some of the best friends I'll ever know and built an extended family I will love forever," she added.

The rumors about Nina Dobrev quitting "The Vampire Diaries" started after Ian Somerhalder hooked up with Nikki Reed. The relationship allegedly proved too awkward for the "Let's Be Cops" actress since she was friends with her ex's current beau.

However, Nina Dobrev said that people can expect more from her character, Elena Gilbert, as the six season finale of "The Vampire Diaries" wraps up next month.

"But until then I invite you to hop on the roller coaster ride that is Elena Gilbert's life and join me as I celebrate her and prepare to say goodbye to her -- and to my work family -- as I move on to the next chapter of my life. I want to share this goodbye with all of you," Ian Somerhalder's ex said.

"You, the wonderful fandom who gave more love, support and passion than anyone could have ever imagined seven years ago, when a young Degrassi girl from Canada showed up in LA to audition for 'that Twilight TV show.' ;-) I love you all. Fasten your seatbelts. If you think you know what's coming, you don't," Nina Dobrev concluded.
