Awkwardly, one of the last times Diane and Joshua were seen hanging out with Vampire Diaries' Ian was when he was dating fellow TV star Nina Dobrev, Diane's very close friend.

Ian and Nina dated until May 2013, having spent three years together, but he moved on with Twlight's Nikki in late 2014 before tying the knot with her six months later.

Diane and Nina remain very good friends, having been seen holding hands at this year's Coachella music festival, though it certainly seems like there's no hard feelings with Ian.
