Unfortunately, a significant worry for any semi-famous person in Hollywood is privacy. Although the C-list and D-list reality stars shamelessly attempt to hog the spotlight 24/7, they still don’t hold a candle to major TV and movie stars in Hollywood. By that same logic, Nina Dobrev hiding her relationship with Mark Foster makes complete sense, especially since her love life has been subject to constant media scrutiny.
In a way, The Vampire Dairies was probably a double-edged sword for Nina Dobrev. It made her famous, it gave her a passionate fan base, and it gave her a solid launching pad in Hollywood. However, even with all the benefits, the show also became the reason she couldn’t step outside with a boy without all the paparazzi descending upon her. In fact, the excessive media attention was reportedly a contributing factor to the end of Nina’s relationship with Ian Somerhalder. There were a lot of other factors involved, but the media definitely played its part, and Nina obviously doesn’t want a repeat of that to happen with Mark Foster.
Even though Nina’s relationship with Mark has more or less been publicly outed by now, neither one of them is moving forward to confirm or deny the rumors. If it’s true, then they can’t deny for straightforward reasons – people would call them out on their BS. But sources tell us that Nina is planning to go forward with the truth about her relationship with Mark Foster fairly soon, probably during her next promotional cycle. She has nothing to promote now, so discussing her new relationship would just be wasting valuable PR capital.
Of course, she’s also extremely worried about her privacy, but how much worse can things get – really? The paps are already chasing after her every chance they get, so this really isn’t going to change anything.
