In a surprise twist to end the year, former “The Vampire Diaries” star Candice King has sent fans into a frenzy by seemingly confirming her romance with “The Originals” actor Steven Krueger. The duo, known for their respective roles as Caroline Forbes and Josh Rosza in the popular supernatural TV series, sparked speculation after a telling Instagram post.
On December 27th, Candice King, 36, delighted her followers by sharing a heartfelt montage encapsulating her favorite moments of 2023. Nestled within the compilation was a brief but intimate selfie video featuring Candice and Steven, 34, sharing a kiss. Accompanying the post was a caption that exuded warmth and gratitude: “I laughed. I cried. I laughed til I cried. I loved. Thanks for the dance 2023.”
The Instagram post quickly garnered attention, with fans expressing overwhelming support for the budding romance. One fan humorously remarked, “Caroline and Josh were not on my 2023 bingo card but I’m here for it,” while another playfully teased, “Joshh!!! Klaus is coming for your head!”
Despite the public display of affection, neither Candice nor Steven have officially confirmed the nature of their relationship. However, the chemistry between the two stars has undoubtedly piqued the interest of fans, who eagerly await further developments.
Candice’s personal life has been under scrutiny since her divorce from musician Joe King, with whom she shares two daughters, Florence May King, 7, and Josephine June King, 3. The actress filed for divorce from Joe King after seven years of marriage, marking a significant transition in her personal life.
Since the conclusion of “The Originals” in 2018, Candice, Steven, and other cast members have maintained a close bond, often reuniting at fan conventions and events. Notable gatherings include the “I Was Feeling Epic in Mystic Falls” event in Georgia in October 2022, which brought together stars from both “The Vampire Diaries” and “The Originals,” including Paul Wesley, Matthew Davis, Danielle Campbell, and more.
The blossoming romance between Candice King and Steven Krueger adds another layer of intrigue to the ongoing saga of supernatural love and drama that captivated audiences for years. As fans eagerly anticipate updates from the beloved stars, one thing is certain: love knows no bounds, even in the mystical world of vampires and witches.
