They only started dating six weeks ago but Nina Dobrev and Derek Hough have already split up.
Dobrev and Hough mutually decided the brief relationship had 'played itself out', according to Us Weekly.
However, distance is also thought to have been a factor in the break-up between the Vampire Diaries actress, who films her show in Atlanta and the Dancing With The Stars pro who is based in Los Angeles.
Over already: They dated for just six weeks but Nina Dobrev and Derek Hough have already called time on their relationship
Although Nina, 24, met Derek through her best friend, his sister Julianne Hough, their friendship has survived the break-up with one source saying, ‘Julianne understands - there are no hard feelings.’
Referring to the geographical pressure placed on Nina and 28-year-old Derek’s relationship, the insider added: ‘The distance was too much to handle.’
It is also believed The Vampire Diaries star Nina, who broke up with her co-star and boyfriend of three years Ian Somerhalder in May isn’t ready to get serious right now.

She previously stated: 'I've been a relationship girl and I've been in long-term relationships my whole life until this point.
'So I think I'm looking forward to spending some time with myself and finding myself again.'
Adding: 'I'm just discovering different sides of me and growing and then I'll figure out what I like in a man when I see it.'
Before dating Nina, Derek had previously been linked to Cheryl Cole, Shannon Elizabeth, and The Hills Lauren Conrad.
However, it was believed he was serious about Nina, with a friend telling Us Weekly: 'Derek is smitten with Nina. He said he hasn't felt this way for a girl in a long time.'
And the relationship wasn’t one-sided.
A source said: '[Nina] was hanging a lot with Derek's sister Julianne. Then she fell for him.'
Last month at Kari Feinstein’s pre-Emmy gifting suite in West Hollywood, Derek allegedly requested shoes 'for his girlfriend' and then texted Nina for her size.
Later it was revealed that the shoes were in fact a gift for the CW actress.
