Laura Vandervoort has spent her career playing superhero adjacent roles on Smallville, Bitten and V. Her love life has had its own dramatic arc, just without the happy ending the genre usually promises.
She got engaged to Canadian actor Corey Sevier in August 2010 after they met on the set of Instant Star and dated for several years. By 2011 that engagement was off without much public explanation from either side. She moved quietly into a relationship with her Smallville co-star Michael Rosenbaum, the man who played Lex Luthor, which lasted from 2012 to 2013. Dating your onscreen nemesis has a certain poetry to it.
Then came Oliver Trevena, a British actor and TV host. They started dating in mid-2013 and he proposed on New Year’s Eve the same year while they were visiting a castle in England. It was extremely romantic on paper. By early 2015 that engagement was also off. Laura did not make any public statement about the split but posted a cryptic Instagram message before New Year about not limiting who you are and who you can be. Fans read between the lines. Sources close to the pair told outlets the breakup was not exactly amicable despite the silence.
Two engagements, two broken off before reaching the altar, all before she turned 31. She has kept her personal life considerably quieter since then, which given the pattern is probably a reasonable strategy.
