TVD Gossip: Candice Accola, Zach Roerig Split

" The Vampire Diaries " co-stars Candice Accola and Zach Roerig have split up, a source claimed Thursday.

After maintaining a low-key relationship that most fans didn't know about, Zach and Candice have broken up, a source told Us Weekly .

The pair has been an item since at least last October when Candice tweeted a photo of Zach and wrote, "Cheering on my man at his second paddle board race! He kicked some major a**." However, not much has been made public about their apparent relationship until now that they have split up.

No reason has been given for the split, but we hope they ended things on good terms so that they won's have any issues as they get ready to begin work on season 4! While a romantic connection was never confirmed, it was always evident that Candice and Zach were quite close. The two often went to parties together and even wore matching costumes this last Halloween.

Apparently, according to Wetpaint.com , Candice also briefly dated fellow co-star Steven R. McQueen and remained good friends with the young actor.
