After the Katherine story line ended, I started to noticed that Nina's face and her boobs were looking a little bit puffy. And in the s5 ep 21: Promise land, I noticed that they stopped filming her from the waist down.
Is it possible that maybe she was pregnant and lost the baby and that is what caused her break up with Ian? Ah man that would suck if that were true.

shareWhy so much text? First two sentences answer OP's question perfectly, but then... wow you must be really obsessed with Nina's weight, it's disturbing.
shareNope. Nina gained a TON of weight between seasons 3 and 6. She wasn't fat or anything, but she was super skinny to start and between the weight and aging, her appearance changed drastically. Even her features seemed to have changed (face puffy but flattened, lips totally shrank, deep folds from nose to mouth, tip of nose bulbous, eyes less round...).
As it turned out, it was a combination of TVD's crappy lighting and *beep* makeup (the entire cast looks better off-camera), poor hydration/water-retention, early/late
hours, and said weight gain. It was also her HAIR. Her once silken, rich, dark perfect Elena hair was stripped of color, fried, and styled in unflattering, poufy
ways.
By the time she left the show, she was seriously starting to come back. Fast forward to today, Nina looks more like her fetus self than seemed imaginable. She's got her weight down to early Elena size and her face hasn't looked this young in years. CLEARLY, she was burned out on the show and not giving crazy high priority to looking her utmost on-screen. Which is honestly a bummer, because she was playing a vampire and SHOULD have looked the same in age and weight from the end of season 3, on. But, it's clear now that hair and makeup could have done a MUCH better job of aiding that along.
As for the breakup, it was moreso for the opposite reason. She didn't want to be Ian's wife or in his shadow. A very close girlfriend who was recently single and better versed in the how-to's of Hollywood pushed Nina to make her own brand. "Jenny" (not actual name) knew Neens wanted to strike out and make it big and she began coaching her in ways not to be known just for TVD and as Ian's girl. That's when she started tearing around town taking selfies with A-listers and blowing up her social media with packs of world traveling girl power. The break-up was unraveling during this change, which hit hardest during season 4 hiatus. They got back to ATL to shoot 5 and that's when Ian won her back over. But only briefly, as the appeal of the other had grown exponentially stronger and she'd begun really outgrowing him. Which of course, grossly pissed off Ian and his skyscraping ego. So they essentially flip flopped into and through a relatively mild breakup. And this is why, for the sake of the show (along with being together constantly onset) they could still find common ground for friendship and there was still conjurable sex appeal. The was not any one terrible deed or occurance that drove them apart. The ugliness actually came much later, namely when they began fighting as a result of new relationships and related behavior of delusional fans.
Why can't it just be that she moved on and she is healthy and happy??!!
