Elena soon discovered she was adopted and that her biological father was Jeremy's uncle, John, making them cousins.
Elena is adopted and so people incorrectly assume that she is not related to Jeremy, however Elena's biological father is John Gilbert, Jeremy's biological uncle, thus making Elena and Jeremy biological cousins and therefore related.
It is mentioned that he is two years younger than Elena.
Jeremy was born to Grayson and Miranda Gilbert in Mystic Falls on October 13, 1994. The two had always wanted a child but adopted a baby girl, Elena, two years prior to that, who actually is his biological cousin as they fake the adoption.
Legacies revealed what he's been doing. After The Vampire Diaries ended, Jeremy Gilbert worked as a teacher at the Salvatore School. Jeremy Gilbert (played by Steven R. McQueen) is Elena Gilbert's younger brother and the biological son of Miranda and Grayson Gilbert.
The sire bond does not influence feelings, only actions. In My Brother's Keeper, and We'll Always Have Bourbon Street, it was revealed that Elena, as well as Charlotte were sired to Damon, as it was his blood that turned them. Damon also mentions that it is rare among vampires.
Isobel Flemming: Isobel was Elena's biological mother. She was married to Alaric Saltzman, Elena's stepfather and Elena and Jeremy's guardian. She became a vampire after being turned by Damon Salvatore in 2007. Isobel gave birth to Elena when she was 16, with the help of Grayson Gilbert, John Gilbert's older brother.
Played by. This article is about Stefanie Salvatore, the daughter of Damon and Elena. You may be looking for Stefan Salvatore, Stefanie's late paternal uncle and namesake. Stefanie Rose Salvatore is a recurring character on Legacies and a former guest starring character on The Originals.
Elena Gilbert is born on June 22, 1992, in Mystic Falls, Virginia to John Gilbert (David Anders) and Isobel Flemming (Mia Kirshner) while they were still in high school. With the help of John's brother Grayson, Isobel and John flee town days later, leaving Grayson and his wife Miranda to adopt Elena as their own.
Since her life is linked to Bonnie's, everybody figured she'd have to sleep for decades, until Bonnie died. And surely the show's writers would never sacrifice Bonnie's life just so Elena could wake up.
In "The Vampire Diaries," lead Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) was 17 at the start of the series, while vampire brothers Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) were 162 and 169 years old, respectively (as the show explains within the first season).
Then, in Season 3, Alaric becomes Elena and Jeremy's guardian after Jenna died.
Steven R. McQueen was 21 when he was introduced as Elena's 15-year-old brother, Jeremy Gilbert. Jeremy stays human throughout the series and continues to age. McQueen left during the sixth season but briefly returned for the eighth, and he was 28 when the show ended.
Isobel Flemming was the biological mother of Elena. She was turned into a vampire by Damon Salvatore by her insistence. She became cold and calculating, but wished for her daughter to live a normal life. She was compelled by Klaus to find Elena, use Alaric as a host, find a vampire and werewolf for his ritual.
They are both descendants of Katherine Pierce. They have both been vampires. Elena was cured and became human again while Isobel died a vampire.
Alaric is Elena's step-father and second legal guardian after Jenna. Alaric drank Elena's blood to become a vampire. Elena once killed Alaric, though she did so only to ensure he would return to life while wearing the Gilbert ring.
Damon has slept with three members of the Petrova Family: Katherine, Isobel and Elena Gilbert. Damon killed and turned her into a vampire. Damon slept with both Elena and her mom, but that doesn't seem to bother Elena (if she knows). They were both antagonists on the show at some point during the series.
She could be very vulnerable and a damsel in distress. Elena is best friends with her twin sister Alex Gilbert; Bonnie Bennett; Caroline Forbes; Matt Donovan; and her husband, Damon Salvatore. She was also close friends with her late brother-in-law, Stefan Salvatore.
Elena and Katherine (as well as Tatia) are all doppelgangers of each other, stemming from Amara, the first look-alike genitor of the Petrova family. This means they all look exactly the same. Elena and Katherine's paths keep intertwining throughout the whole series.
Stefanie Salvatore is the heretic daughter of Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert, as well the younger twin sister of Stefan Salvatore. She is a witch from the Salvatore bloodline and a vampire, she gets her vampire side from both of her parents.
Somtime during season six of The Vampire Diaries, Elena give birth to her and Jacob's first and only child, Bonnie Rebekah Fogerty. They named their daughter in honor of their two friends, Bonnie Bennett and Rebekah Mikaelson.

Elena Gilbert (3rd Petrova Doppelgänger): Elena was born on June 22, 1992, in New Orleans, Louisiana. She is the biological daughter of John Gilbert and Isobel Flemming, and was therefore a descendant of Katerina Petrova, to whom she bears a striking physical resemblance.
