Paul Wesley & Phoebe Tonkin Take Afternoon Walk in New York City

Paul Wesley and Phoebe Tonkin walk side by side while out in New York City on Friday afternoon (March 25).

The Vampire Diaries and Originals actors and couple were engaged in a little conversation as they headed to a meeting in the Big Apple. Just the night before, Paul was also spotted out in the city.

Speaking with E!, Julie Plec admitted that The Vampire Diaries would go on as long as Paul and on-screen brother Ian Somerhalder were in.

“I finally realized that my destiny on this show, creatively, is tied in to Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley. And I mean that in a really good way. As long as those boys who I now consider my friends want to keep telling the story, then I won’t walk away from telling the story,” she said.

Julie added, “I basically committed to Ian and Paul that when they’re ready to be done, I’ll be done. They could be ready very soon, or they could really want to stick it out. Right now, that’s up to them. I’m with them as long as I feel like I can keep telling stories for them.”
