The romance from The Vampire Diaries is living forever.

Arielle Kebbel and Zach Roerig, who starred as vampire Lexi Branson and human boy-next-door Matt Donovan on the supernatural show, appeared to confirm their romance at a fan convention held in Covington, Ga. The Georgia town served as the location for the popular CW show’s fictional Mystic Falls setting.

Roerig and Kebbel, both 40, briefly shared screen time during The Vampire Diaries’ first season in 2009 and final season in 2017. A fan captured a video dated April 6 from Epic Cons’ I Was Feeling Epic 3 that showed Roerig bringing Kebbel a bouquet of flowers before the couple shared a kiss.

The fan’s video was captioned, “I love a couple 🥹 ❤️ The ultimate romantic,” to which the actress responded “❤️❤️❤️.” PEOPLE reached out to representatives for Kebbel and Roerig.

The pair previously reunited when filming the Hallmark Channel film Love in the Great Smoky Mountains: A National Park Romance in 2023. In The Vampire Diaries world, Kebbel’s character was a longtime vampire friend of Stefan Salvatore’s (Paul Wesley), who helped him control his blood cravings. Roerig’s character was Elena Gilbert’s (Nina Dobrev) first love, and one of the only humans in the know about the supernatural activity in Mystic Falls.

Roerig and Kebbel are not the first romantic Vampire Diaries reunion. In December 2023, Candice King confirmed her relationship with former Vampire Diaries’ spinoff Originals star Steven Krueger. The couple’s relationship began after King’s 2022 divorce from The Fray guitarist Joe King, whom she married in New Orleans in 2014.

Kebbel famously starred in the 2006 romantic dramedy John Tucker Must Die, and currently stars in the Fox series Rescue: HI Surf.

Roerig appears in the upcoming Netflix series The Waterfront, which was written and produced by TVD creator, writer and executive producer Kevin Williamson. The show debuts on June 19.
