Nina Dobrev and Austin Stowell are reportedly doing so well in their relationship.

According to sources who have been around the celebrity couple, the two can't seem to get enough of each other and they are allegedly not shy in letting it show.

"Shortly after Dobrev quit TVD (The Vampire Diaries), she and Austin took a vacation to St. Tropez where they happily flaunted their romance with passionate kissing, embracing, and sexy swims in the pristine ocean," Celeb Dirty Laundry recalled.

"Nina and Austin made sure paparazzi got plenty of pictures of their tropical trip," the report continued.

Some speculate that Nina Dobrev and Austin Stowell may be faking their PDA to distance the former "The Vampire Diaries" actress from her former leading man and ex-boyfriend, Ian Somerhalder who's now married to Nikki Reed.

After all, Nina Dobrev's name has still been connected to Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed even though the former Elena Gilbert actress has left "The Vampire Diaries" for months now.

If Nina Dobrev is using Austin Stowell to disassociate herself from her former flame, then it doesn't seem to be working.

However, some speculate that her romance with Austin Stowell may have caused an unintentional effect: is Ian Somerhalder trying to prove that he's happier than his ex-girlfriend by flaunting that he and Nikki Reed are trying to have a baby?

"It's the most incredible thing to be happy and secure in something," Ian Somerhalder told Entertainment Tonight. "It's a pretty crazy time and place to bring a child into this turbulent and insane world -- but I really can't wait to do it and really just love it."

Some fans were surprised over "The Vampire Diaires" stars' sudden spontaneity about his baby plans. After all, he and Nikki Reed have been particular about protecting the privacy of their relationship.
