Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder's Ex, Sizzles In 'Self' Magazine Before 'TVD' Season 6 Finale!

Just days before the sixth season finale of The Vampire Diaries airs on the CW Network, Elena Gilbert's counterpart is showing off her sexy figure. After splitting up with co-star Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev needs nobody as she flaunts her slim and fit body on the steamy June cover of SELF Magazine.

Vampire Diaries fans are counting down the hours before they finally say goodbye to Dobrev's beloved character, Elena Gilbert. Not only are the fans saying their farewells, Somerhalder's character, Damon Salvatore, is also going to have to let go of his significant other in what is sure to be an emotional episode. Don't forget Paul Wesley's Stefan Salvatore also had a fling with her since first season.

As we previously mentioned, the season finale will center around Dobrev's exit; will Elena be killed off? In the subplot, Damon is going to have to make one of the most difficult decisions of his whole life during the dramatic hour-long episode. Could Elena's departure inspire Damon's downfall and cause a series of disastrous events?

According to E! Online, the brunette bombshell graces the sexy cover and inside pages of SELF. The 26-year-old actress is all wet, dripping in sweat as she poses in her bodysuit and custom sneakers.

In an interview with Self, The Perks of Being a Wallflower actress reveals, "It's important for me that it be epic and powerful. I feel like I'm a completely different person than I was and I've grown so much. It's been a big part of my life, and I want it to be beautiful. I want it to end well."
