Ian Somerhalder dating Molly Swenson after Nina Dobrev break-up? 'Vampire Diaries' hottie flirts with new 'American Idol' girlfriend [PHOTOS]

"Vampire Diaries" sweethearts Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev broke-up months ago. And now, it looks like the former Christian Grey-wannabe has finally moved-on with another stunning lady!

Rumors suggest that 35-year-old Somerhalder's currently romancing aspiring model, Molly Swenson:

According to E! Online, Somerhalder and Swenson were spotted cuddling on several dates together earlier this month. They initially stepped-out as an "unofficial" couple at the Details Magazine party in Santa Monica just last week.

The duo didn't share too muh PDA, but they looked extremely happy together!

Later that same evening, they hit-up another cocktail party hosted by Treats! magazine in honor of stunning starlet Dylan Penn. An E! insider reveals:

"Ian got off the golf cart, and was wearing a leather jacket and his hair was tousled underneath a cap. As he was walking towards the steps of Club James, he was greeted by two people from the event who introduced himself. They shook hands with Ian smiled, and began ushering the group inside... Two of Ian's friends were in front and Ian and his date were following closely behind casually holding hands. They seemed happy, casual, and enjoying the evening."

Turns out that Swenson is the COO of the popular production company RYOT News, Somerhalder works on the advisory board, so maybe they're just really good friends? Or perhaps feelings are turning more romantic...

- She graduated from Harvard in 2010 with a BA in Social Studies - she was an honors student.

- Swenson previously served as a headhunter for the Obama administration.
