Vampire Diaries Alum Candice King Moves ON! Her MESSY New Romance with Steven Krueger EXPOSED!

THE CW VAMPIRE DIARIES REUNION: FROM CO-STARS TO LOVERS—A SHOCKING NEW POWER COUPLE!

EXCLUSIVE: Y’all thought the drama ended when the blood bags ran dry? THINK AGAIN! We’ve got the tea, piping HOT, on Candice King—formerly Accola—and her suspiciously close new man, Steven Krueger.

Remember Candice, the QUEEN of Caroline Forbes? She was married, had babies, and then BAM—the divorce papers dropped like a stake to the heart. Sources say the split from Joe King was NOT amicable.

But WAIT—it gets WORSE! Just when we thought she needed time to heal, she’s cozying up next to THIS guy… Steven Krueger, who played Josh on The Originals. Can you BELIEVE this?!

We’re told these two weren’t just swapping notes on set; they were building something SECRET behind the scenes. The Vampire Diaries universe clearly has a SERIOUSLY sticky dating pool.

THE TIMELINE OF TREACHERY—OR TRUE LOVE?!

Listen, fans were OBSESSED with the TVD cast finding love, but this one feels different. Candice and Joe were the golden couple—married since 2014, two beautiful daughters, Florence and Josephine. It looked perfect on the surface, right?

Then, in May 2022, Us Weekly dropped the BOMB that Candice filed for divorce. Divorce! In Hollywood, that’s code for “time to start dating someone who understands the weirdness of wearing fangs.” Source 1 confirms the separation news, but they missed the real dirt!

Here’s the thing: Once the ink was dry, Candice and Steven started popping up at fan conventions. Coincidence? WE THINK NOT, chile!

April 2023 was when the breadcrumbs started appearing. Steven Krueger posted a group shot for an Us feature, and there she was, looking a little too comfortable next to him. He even hinted at wanting a family soon—telling 26 Magazine that family was “definitely in my future.” Ominous!

But the REAL reveal? The moment they stopped pretending! December 2023 was the month Candice decided to go public with the most SUBTLE kiss video ever uploaded to social media. Subtle? PLEASE. It was a declaration!

“They tried to keep it on the DL, but you know how these CW stars are—they can’t resist an audience. The chemistry was always there; everyone saw it!” — Anonymous Insider.

This isn’t just a fling, y’all. This is a full-blown, post-divorce, supernatural romance!

IS THIS THE MESSY ENDGAME FANS DESERVE OR A RECIPE FOR DISASTER?

We need to talk about Steven. He’s part of the extended TVD family, but he wasn’t part of the original core group that melted our hearts. Now he’s stepping into the HUGE shoes left by Candice’s ex.

Will this new pairing last, or is this just a rebound fueled by convention tequila and shared memories of fake blood?

Sources say the transition from co-star acquaintances to romantic partners was FAST. Like, blink-and-you-miss-it fast! We are talking about a woman who just finalized a marriage and two kids!

The reality is, these actors spend more time together than with their actual families. It’s inevitable that sparks fly—but moving in with a former colleague who was ALSO on a spin-off? THAT’S a bold move!

We reached out for comment, but naturally, their reps are keeping things locked down tighter than Klaus Mikaelson’s coffin. Zero transparency, shocker!

What we DO know is that Candice seems HAPPY, and frankly, after the messy divorce rumors, she deserves a win. But let’s be real, Steven better treat her right, or the entire TVD fandom will descend on his doorstep!

Get this: Even though Candice is moving forward, the shadow of her past relationship looms. We’re hearing whispers about custody arrangements and financial settlements—the usual post-split DRAMA.

Keep refreshing this page, because the second we get a picture of them holding hands in public, we’re dropping the exclusive paparazzi shots. You won’t see this anywhere else first!
