In what could be one of the most exciting rumors in the life of Nina Dobrev, it is said that she is dating football star Tim Tebow.

While there is no confirmation from both sides, fans are eager to know more about how the two will end up after their hot and spectacular "Lip Sync Battle" performances. With fans rooting for a possible off-screen romance between the two, it is yet to be revealed if anything of the sort is going on between them.

The rumor started after Dobrev picked "Let's Get it On" during her performance and fans suggested that she was trying to get Tebow's attention. As if to show Dobrev his interest, the football quarterback responded with "Eye of the Tiger," appearing to dedicate the song to the actress.

If the rumor is true, there's no holding them back since Tebow has ended his relationship with Olivia Culpo, who reportedly broke up with the Christian sports icon for his refusal to go to bed with her since they aren't married yet. Dobrev, on the other hand, has reportedly called it quits with Austin Stowell, giving her all the rights to go out on a date with someone else.

Meanwhile, rumors are also hot on "The Vampire Diaries" as it is speculated that Dobrev has decided to return to the franchise for its spin-off, "The Originals." According to Sportsrageous, fans speculate that Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder have finally put their past behind and are now ready to return as on-screen lovers.

However, the outlet also notes that Dobrev is currently busy boosting her acting career and it might not be the best time to return to the series that gave her the big break in her career. She is expected to appear alongside Vin Diesel in "XXX: The Return of Xander Cage" and her role in the movie will keep her busy for the next months.

Somerhalder and Dobrev are best known for their roles as Damon and Elena, respectively, and with their chemistry on television, the show has gained a lot of followers. However, some outlets suggest that Dobrev's good-bye may be the biggest factor leading to the decline in terms of ratings for "The Vampire Diaries."

It has yet to be confirmed if Dobrev will indeed reunite with Somerhalder for the upcoming spin-off, but fans are excited to see the two back together on the small screens.
