No feud here, folks! Look elsewhere!
Nina Dobrev, Nikki Reed, and Ian Somerhalder have put rumors of any and all feuds between them to rest with a couple of social media posts. And the world is a better place for it!

Both Nina (Ian’s ex-girlfriend of three years) and Nikki (Ian’s wife) posted friendly, smiling photos of the three of them on what is presumably The Vampire Diaries set in Georgia, and had nothing but kind words for each other.
While Nina — who has returned to TVD to film the series finale — kept things short and sweet with a brief message, her ex-boyfriend’s wife had a much, MUCH longer post to share, in which she addressed rumors that the trio secretly hate each other.
She wrote:
“[H]ere’s to putting an end to all those fake stories of on set jealousy, betrayal, made-up-friendships lost & women hating women. Because at the end of the day, that’s what this is about: teaching girls that you have to hate other girls only breeds a generation of women who believe you have to hate other women.”
The actress also advocated against “magazines, websites, and blogs” that perpetuated the rumors and created a hostile atmosphere for impressionable young girls and fans of TVD.
She continued:
“[L]et’s use this as an example of how important it is to stop this trend of writing horrible headlines about women, painting us as bitter, angry, insecure, heartbroken, childless, feuding, backstabbing monsters because whether we want to admit it or not, it changes the way all women view themselves. And shame on these websites for now targeting an even younger demographic, instilling this at an earlier age when girls are even more susceptible, more vulnerable and more malleable.”

Ian himself had no comment, but we assume he agrees with every word!
