The 'Dexter' co-stars play brother and sister on-screen, but in real life they eloped in 2008, separated in 2010 and got divorced officially in 2011. 'Dexter' is ending soon too, though, so luckily these two exes won't have to work together for much longer.

This breakup just happened, like, yesterday, but Nina and Ian's duties as Elena and Damon on 'The Vampire Diaries' don't seem to be stopping anytime soon. Let's hope these too can keep it profesh!
