5 Best Vampire Diaries Couples, Ranked from Aww to We Want This ASAP

The Vampire Diaries is first and foremost a love story. For many seasons, fans have fiercely debated whether Elena should stay with Damon or Stefan.

However, the show has not only featured Elena's love for the Salvatore brothers, but also many other couples, some of which deserve even more attention than the two main ones.

5. Alaric and Jo

Fans still cannot come to terms with how tragically this relationship ended. Alaric and Jo were truly in love but decided to stay apart until Alaric found a way to become human again. It was worth the wait — they got married, and Jo even got pregnant after that. Things were great for the couple, as they supported each other through the worst of times, but then Kai happened.

4. Elena and Stefan

In general, the relationship between Elena and Stefan began almost perfectly. He loved her and did not try to control her, and she genuinely appreciated and admired him. Even at his worst, Stefan tried to do everything he could to keep Elena from getting hurt. Unfortunately, Elena moved on to Damon and eventually left Stefan in a not-so-pretty way.

3. Elena and Damon

Damon and Elena's connection was one of the most important in the highly romantic show. Their relationship slowly evolved from enemies to lovers, and fans all over the world were rooting for them to be together. Damon became a human for Elena and created a normal, ordinary family with her, just like she wanted.

2. Klaus and Caroline

Caroline's whirlwind romance with the dangerous and powerful original vampire-werewolf hybrid Klaus had viewers excited about their possible future together. Caroline awakened something in Klaus that no one else saw: love and compassion. Together, they have become one of the most popular fan pairings, and it's a shame that it didn't work out in the end.

1. Bonnie and Enzo

This couple was formed at the end of the show, but fans welcomed it with great interest and admiration. As mutual respect and love prevailed over any misunderstandings between the characters, Enzo proved to be a real gentleman, protecting and taking care of Bonnie. Sadly, they did not manage to live happily ever after.
