The Vampire Diaries co-stars Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley may have "despised each other" while they were making the show, but they're all good now. We think…

The cast feud was revealed earlier this year when Dobrev (aka Elena Gilbert) confessed that although she gets along well with Wesley (aka Stefan Salvatore) these days, that wasn't always the case.

"Paul and I didn't get along at the beginning of the show," she was recently quoted as saying. "I respected Paul Wesley. I didn't like Paul Wesley. And I remember everyone would walk up to me after the show aired and they'd be like, 'Are you and Paul dating in real life?'

"Everyone thought that we had such good chemistry from the show... I realise now that there's a fine line between love and hate, and we despised each other so much that it read as love, but we really just didn't get along for the first five months of shooting."

Those comments caused a stir in the TVD fan community, so Nina and Paul reunited poolside this week to make sure fans knew all is good in Mystic Falls now.

A funny Instagram video sees Nina trying to explain away her comments about the feud, before Paul assures her he's already forgiven her.

"If there's one thing people know about me, it's that I don't hold grudges," he insists. "It's in the past! It's in the past!"

That might not necessarily be true, since Paul then immediately shoves Nina into the nearby pool – even though she's wearing a hat, sunglasses and sundress! Revenge is sweet, we guess!

I “despise” you ♥️😂😘

Just to stake the point home, Nina captioned the video: "I 'despise' you ♥️😂😘"

Through Nina tacked on a few emojis, we'd still watch ourselves around any stockpiles of garlic if we were Paul!
