Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder have been broken up for quite some time, but that doesn't stop the rumor mill from churning out news about the two stars on a constant basis.

This time, it's being reported that Dobrev gets emotional around Somerhalder on the set of "The Vampire Diaries," and would like less screen time with him, the Christian Times reported

The two play a vampire couple on the television show, but that romance eventually spilled over into real life. Somerhalder is now dating Nikki Reed, and Dobrev is allegedly hating scenes the two have to do together. Her emotions are said to be coming through into her role as Elena Gilbert.

Following a request from Dobrev, the show's director is allowing her to shoot separately from Somerhalder as much as possible.

"It's next to impossible to fake chemistry with someone you hate, although that hate sometimes comes across as a fiery passion on screen," the report said, according to the International Business Times.

Rumors are also circulating that Dobrev is breaking up with her alleged new flame, Mark Foster. Dobrev may have been told to remain single in front of the paparazzi as "The Vampire Diaries" season comes to an end.

"Nina's attempts to become a movie star, and if she really wants to increase her fan base [especially among the non-Vampire Diaries watching male demographic], then she might have to suck up some of her ideals and play along," the report stated.
