Elena Gilbert and Stefan Salvatore were "TVD's" first romantic pairing, so fans were surprised to hear that the actors didn't initially get along. In fact, they flat-out despised each other! "I respected Paul Wesley, I didn't like Paul Wesley," Nina Dobrev told "TVD" co-stars Kayla Ewell and Candice King on their podcast, "Directionally Challenged." She continued, "I realize now that there's a fine line between love and hate, and we despised each other so much that it read as love but ... we really just didn't get along for maybe the first five months of shooting." Eventually, they were able to mend fences and move forward. "[We] ended up getting to a good place and it was fine," Dobrev added.

Wesley backed up Dobrev's claims when speaking to reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour in 2019, per Us Weekly. "We totally clashed [the] first couple years in terms of just getting on each other's nerves, and then developed this wonderful friendship. ...It's like the people that [you] kind of maybe don't get along with in the beginning later surprise you, and I think a lot of my friendships are like that," he explained. In a separate interview with Entertainment Tonight, Wesley called his relationship with Dobrev one of "absolute mutual love." Because they "adore" each other, they tend to hang out together more than with other cast members. And the breadth of "Stelena" posts on Instagram would certainly back this up!
