No cheating was involved,” the source told Us. “They were loyal to each other their entire relationship. At the end of the day, they’re human beings, just like everyone else. They genuinely just grew apart and realized they would be better off just as friends and not husband and wife.”
According to a second source, the former couple were in the process of planning their nuptials when they decided to call their engagement off. “They had finally started planning the wedding and things were in motion,” the second insider expanded, adding that Dobrev leaned on her friends at the time. “It’s still very fresh, but she’s been supported by her closest girlfriends who have been checking in on her.”
