Torrey DeVitto Used To Be Married To This Vampire Diaries Star
Over the years, countless actors have met and fallen in love on set. Some of the most famous couples include Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan. Even "Vampire Diaries" stars Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder had a real-life love story. As it turns out, their co-stars, Torrey DeVitto and Paul Wesley, also struck up a romance after working on a film called "Killer Movie" in 2007, per the Los Angeles Times.
According to the outlet, the two got married in a private ceremony in New York City in April 2011. At the time, Wesley told Us Weekly he's a "very lucky guy," adding, "I don't know why she went for me, but somehow a girl liked me for longer than a month!" However, the actor, who is notoriously private about his personal life, refused to share any details about their wedding day, coyly saying, "That's got to remain my own little secret."
In the years that followed, Wesley and DeVitto got to work together again before ending their relationship.
Torrey DeVitto and Paul Wesley starred in the same show
After they got married, Torrey DeVitto joined the cast of "The Vampire Diaries" that same year as recurring character Dr. Meredith Fell. She starred in 12 episodes in Seasons 3 and 4. Though she and Paul Wesley did not play love interests on the show, they did share the screen on more than one occasion.
One scene in particular saw Wesley's character, Stefan Salvatore, struggling to overcome his blood urges while trying to save her after she's attacked. The couple's characters also shared a lot of dialogue in the episode "Stand By Me" when they were trying to help Elena Gilbert cope with her brother Jeremy's death.
At the time, DeVitto opened up about working with her husband on the show — and why she thought it was a "blessing" not to shoot together. She told Zap2It (via E! News), "We had both done 11 episodes of the show and hadn't worked together on it yet. And I said, 'Maybe that's a blessing in disguise. Maybe working together every day and then going home together would be a little too much.'" However, when they finally shared the screen, she admitted, "I had such a great time working with him, and it was so amazing. I totally take back everything I said. We just have such a mutual respect for each other, and a similar work ethic."
Torrey DeVitto and Paul Wesley broke up in 2013
In 2013, Paul Wesley's reps confirmed to People that he and Torrey DeVitto had "decided to amicably split" and "will continue to remain good friends." Per TMZ, the pair signed a prenup before getting married, which meant they got to keep their earnings separate, as well as retrieve the money they invested in the downpayment and sale of the Los Angeles home they purchased together on December 29, 2011. They sold it for $1,595,000, according to Trulia.
The stars never revealed the cause for the split, but distance may have played a factor, based on previous comments made by Wesley. He spoke of the benefits of working together on "The Vampire Diaries" in the came city during a Paris convention in 2012. Wesley said, "From my standpoint, It's fantastic because otherwise we'd be 2000 miles away, Los Angeles and Georgia, so it's very nice to be in the same geographical location."
Both Wesley and DeVitto have since moved on to other relationships. He secretly married Ines de Ramon in 2019 and she's dating MLB star David Ross.
