Nikki Reed: My Breast Pump Is Totally a Third Wheel!
It’s still hard to believe that Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder welcomed their first child together into the world in July.
Their relationship has had many ups and downs, and it has given us a lot to write about over the years, but now, they are more unified than ever, and it’s adorable.
Nikki was making her way to a Hollywood event on Saturday and took to Instagram to show off her good looks, and jokingly said that her hot date was a breast pump.
“On my way to present at @variety ‘s #powerofwomen luncheon and this is my hot date,” she captioned the photo. “Kidding. I have another hot date. But this thing is definitely our third wheel.”
We are pleased she threw the “kidding” part in because she could have caused a lot of trouble on social media.
The post came just days after Ian apologized for a joke he made about messing with Nikki’s birth control to force her into pregnancy.
“We decided that we wanted to have children together, and it was just time. But unbeknownst to poor Nikki, she didn’t realize that I was going to go in her purse and take out her birth control,” he said on Dr. Berlin’s Informed Pregnancy podcast.
Naturally, this was met with a lot of criticism from across the world. Simply put, it’s not something to joke about because it’s a very real thing that happens all the time.
Ian took swift action and turned to Instagram with a lengthy statement to reveal that he and Nikki both wanted to have a child and that he most certainly did not tamper with her birth control.
“We never expect a lighthearted interview we did poking fun at EACH OTHER and how WE chose together to get pregnant, a goofy moment in Barcelona with our two best friends and the anticipation of the start of our journey together as we went from two to three, to turn into something representing a very serious matter,” his post began.
“However, if this somehow sheds a light on a topic that definitely needs mainstream attention, then we are grateful for the unintended consequence.”
“It’s a shame that outlets chose this as their way into a very serious discussion, as we are certainly not qualified to be the faces of this topic.”
“We are two happily married people who chose TOGETHER to have a baby. The end,” he concluded.
What do you think about all of this?

Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed: Sorry About the Controversy! We Were Joking!
Ian Somerhalder isn’t just our fancast to play the titular character in a Captain Planet movie that absolutely needs to happen. He and his wife, Nikki Reed, are both very environmentally conscious.
So they were natural choices to present at the 2017 Environmental Media Association Awards.
But this came on the back of a huge controversy about the couple.
We didn’t really get into this last week, and that’s our bad. We blame our distraction on Kylie Jenner’s pregnancy.
Nikki Reed gave birth to the couple’s first child back in August.
That’s a happy and wonderful occasion, but retroactively marred by a comment made by Ian on Dr. Berlin’s Informed Pregnancy podcast.
“We decided that we wanted to have children together, and it was just time. But unbeknownst to poor Nikki, she didn’t realize that I was going to go in her purse and take out her birth control.”
That is just … not an acceptable thing to say.
Now Ian has since clarified that this was a joke (and we have his statement below), but we need to talk about this.
What Ian jokingly described there is called reproductive coercion.
A woman poking holes in her condoms, a man “stealthing” by sliding off his condom without his partner’s knowledge so that they can go bareback without his partner’s consent, a man replacing a womans’ birth-control pills with placebos?
Those are all despicable acts by despicable people.
And it happens all of the time.
There’s nothing funny or cute about saying that as a joke.
The backlash was understandable and immediate, and Ian Somerhalder posted a clarifying message to Instagram.
“We never expect a lighthearted interview we did poking fun at EACH OTHER and how WE chose together to get pregnant, a goofy moment in Barcelona with our two best friends and the anticipation of the start of our journey together as we went from two to three, to turn into something representing a very serious matter.”
Do we believe that they mutually decided to have children? Yes.
But he should have been clearer with his words.
“However, if this somehow sheds a light on a topic that definitely needs mainstream attention, then we are grateful for the unintended consequence.”
It is important for people to have this conversation.
“It’s a shame that outlets chose this as their way into a very serious discussion, as we are certainly not qualified to be the faces of this topic.”
Nobody ‘chose this;” it’s a thing that people needed to discuss. Especially when it sounded like Ian had just confessed to a serious offense.
“We are two happily married people who chose TOGETHER to have a baby. The end.”
As we said, we do totally believe that.
Guys, we understand that “edgy” humor is a big thing and we get that Ian wasn’t even trying for that.
It’s easy to joke about things without realizing that they are things that really happen to real people.
It would also have been inappropriate for Ian Somerhalder to joke about, say, marital rape.
To anyone who knows him or Nikki, it might be obvious that it’s not something that happens in their marriage, but it’s a real thing that really happens.
The same is true of reproductive coercion.
We have to keep in mind that when a person who does terrible things hears a joke about it, they are likely to see it not as a joke in poor taste but as an endorsement of their actions.
Words have power, folks.

Ian Somerhalder Breaks Social Media Silence, Posts a Moving Tribute to Nikki Reed!
Get ready to start believing in love again!
So, remember how Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed said goodbye to social media for a while when Nikki Reed gave birth? Their break from technology was intended to help them focus on their first child.
Well, not two weeks in, and Ian’s already breaking the rule — to write a very, very sweet tribute to his wife.
In case you’ve forgotten, since Ian and Nikki announced it before she even gave birth, they were planning on bonding with their baby, exclusively.
“We’ll take the baby’s first month for ourselves. After the baby arrives, we’re doing one month of silence. Just the three of us, no visitors, and we’re turning off our phones too, so there’s no expectation for us to communicate.”
(That sounds like a nightmare, because you need your phone for everyday life — how are you gonna eat? By cooking? Like the Amish?)
To be fair, Ian Somerhalder’s already broken their “month of silence” rule, like, five times, by our count.
This makes number six, but we’ll totally let it slide:
Ian Somerhalder took to Instagram and, alongside a photo of Nikki Reed’s Fit Pregnancy and Baby cover, basically poured his heart out.
He starts it off simple and sweet:
“Just a quick note to you my beautiful wife.”
Yes, that is the correct way to address your wife.
“You are briefly napping on the other side of the room after being an amazing mom all night so you’ll read this when you wake…”
So clearly he used the opportunity to sneak off to Instagram and look through their photos.
But, you know, for a good reason.
“Seeing these images reminds me of those amazing 9 months that you sacrificed your whole being to grow our little one.”
That’s such an important statement.
Pregnancy permanently alters your body and even your skeletal structure, and it’s a total pain (literally) starting fairly early on after conception.
Some men take that lightly. Ian Somerhalder clearly does not.
“The kindness, the beauty, and organic nature of these photos makes me so very proud.”
Basically, his wife is hot and he wants to make sure that everybody knows.
(We know)
“You brought such fun and such power into our lives being pregnant but you literally brought the word sexy into pregnancy, we all see it.”
That’s a goofy statement, but the guy’s in love and quite possibly running on less sleep than he needs.
We’re not saying that pregnant women can’t be fun or even sexy.
We’re just saying that his phrasing of it makes him come across a little lovestruck.
“Thank you for being my partner in this life and thank you for inspiring not just me but all others who read, hear or see what your soul gives us.”
It’s really good of him to share this message with the world instead of just, like, jotting it down on pen and paper for her to read, like it’s the Dark Ages or something.
First, it’s insight into their love life.
“Love, You husband”
We were a little leery of this relationship when it started.
It’s not just because we were, despite ourselves, pretty aggressively shipping Delena (that is, Ian’s character Damon with Nina Dobrev’s character Elena, at least by the second season of The Vampire Diaries) back before that show went off the rails.
It’s more because Ian had been dating Nina Dobrev, who is gorgeous and wonderful, and then it felt really abrupt when he started dating Nina’s friend, Nikki Reed.
But, you know what? If Nina Dobrev’s cool with Ian and Nikki, then so are we.
Plus, it’s almost impossible to dislike Ian. The guy’s totally devoted to environmental causes so much that he’s basically Captain Planet.
(Also someone at some studio somewhere needs to get off their butt and make a Captain Planet reboot film and cast Ian as the titular character, right now immediately)
And it’s kind of impossible to see Ian and Nikki being so cute and lovey with each other and about their baby without feeling any affection yourself.

Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed Welcome First Child!
Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed have said hello to their first baby.
Which means we’ll soon be saying goodbye to Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed.
The day after Reed said in an interview that she and her husband will lock everyone out of their lives for 30 days after their child enters the world, E! News reports that the blessed event has taken place.
Reed has given birth!
To a girl!
Named Bodhi Soleil!
The bundle of precious joy (full name: Bodhi Soleil Reed Somerhalder) was actually born on July 25.
Neither Somerhalder nor Reed has posted a photo of their daughter on Instagram just yet, but we’d have to imagine they will after their self-imposed “month of silence” is over.
And we’d have to imagine the photograph will be accompanied by some beautiful and profound words.
That’s simply how the ex-Twilight Saga star and former Vampire Diaries actor roll, based on previous social media posts about themselves, their family and each other.
“I know you, but only because I feel you,” wrote Reed as a caption to the image above, which she shared in May to announce her pregnancy, adding at the time:
“How is it possible to love someone so much already? All I know for sure is it’s the strongest feeling I’ve ever felt.
“We’ve been sharing this body for quite some time, and we’ve already experienced so much together. We can’t wait to meet you…”
Friends for years prior to dating for several months, Reed and Somerhalder got married in April of 2015.
They celebrated their two-year wedding anniversary in special fashion a few months ago, gushing over each other in separate Instagram posts.
“Thank you for 2 incredible years of marriage,” wrote Somerhalder to Reed in honor of the occasion, continuing as follows:
“Thank you for being my best friend, the hardest-working, kindest, most patient and most talented woman I’ve ever known.
“To you my love, I say that I know we will have so many of these we can’t even count them. Partly because I’ll be so old… I love you.”
And then there was Reed to Somerhalder:
“Thank you for 2 incredible years of marriage. Thank you for being my best friend, the hardest-working, kindest, most patient and most talented woman I’ve ever known.
“My guy, my man, my honey, my partner in this life, my better half in every way. At exactly this time two years ago today we walked hand in hand into the next chapter, our chapter, together.
“Every day gets better, every moment calling for even more.
“Navigating the waters of life with you is the greatest and most rewarding adventure I’ve ever known. We climb, we grow, and we laugh at all of it.
“Thank you for being exactly who you are, and for loving all of me.”
Man. This little girl is going to be SO very loved!
And we are SO very happy for the newly-expanded family!
Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder Will Soon Say Goodbye to the World
Enjoy the gorgeous faces and sweet musings of Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed while you can, readers.
Because, at some point in the near future, you won’t be hearing from these stars for awhile.
Featured on the cover of the latest Fit Pregnancy, Reed gushes over her first pregnancy, explaining to the magazine how she’s different when she’s expecting than when her womb is empty, prior to talking about her and Somerhalder’s plan for when their baby arrives.
In short, it doesn’t involve you. Or us. Or anyone at all.
Reed says the couple will enter a “month of silence” as soon they become parents.
“Just the three of us, no visitors, and we’re turning off our phones too, so there’s no expectation for us to communicate,” the former Twilight Saga beauty outlined, expounding on her reasoning as follows:
“Otherwise, every five minutes it would be, ‘How are you feeling? Can we have a picture?’ You don’t get those first 30 days back, and we want to be fully present.”
This is a pretty fantastic idea, in our opinion.
And we’d expect nothing less from Reed and Somerhalder, who announced they were expecting in May and who always taken an especially profound view on life.
Just consider the way Somerhalder confirmed to the world that he was going to be a father.
“In my 38 years on this earth I’ve never experienced anything more powerful and beautiful than this,” he wrote on Instagram this spring, adding:
“I can’t think of anything more exciting than this next chapter and we wanted you to hear this from us first.”
Also consider the way Somerhalder wished Reed a happy birthday:
Happy Birthday to the most amazing human I know… Today, we celebrate you.
For an innumerable amount of reasons I couldn’t even begin to describe, as all of those who know you and those who even don’t know you, would agree.
Reed has said equally kind things about her soulmate, noting in this interview how Somerhalder adores his wife in her pregnant state.
“Ian jokes that he wants to keep me pregnant forever,” she tells the publication.
“I’m a very driven person with lots of energy. I can run multiple companies, read four books at once, and take a conference call while cooking dinner.
“But pregnant, I’m a better version of myself. I’m really chill and relaxed, which I think is the greatest blessing.”
We don’t know when baby Reed/Somerhalder is due. Nor do we know if it will be a boy or a girl.
We do know, however, that he or she will be born into a household full of unconditional love.’
“Being pregnant gave me instant perspective,” Reed told concludes.
“It’s the first time in my life I’ve passed on anything that isn’t exactly what I want to be doing. Pregnancy is the moment you find your path and do what you want, when you want, how you want.
I’m building and launching a company that’s been a dream of mine. I honestly feel better than ever…
“I want to write my pregnant body love letters, it’s so f-cking cool!”

Ian Somerhalder Sends Birthday Wishes to Nikki Reed, Will Make Anyone Believe in Love
We hope you are sitting down, dear readers.
Because Ian Somerhalder is about to make you very weak in the knees.
The former Vampire Diaries star took to Instagram on Wednesday and wished wife Nikki Reed a happy birthday.
But this mere description of Somerhalder’s actions do not do them justice. Not in any way, shape or form.
As the actor has proven time and again over the years, he takes the concepts of life and love very seriously, doing his best to appreciate every nanosecond he has on this planet.
And especially every nanosecond he has on this planet with his pregnant wife.
(Yup, Reed is pregnant with the couple’s first child!!!!!!)
Just consider what Somerhalder wrote on his social media account yesterday in honor of Reed turning 29 years old.
“Happy Birthday to the most amazing human I know… Today, we celebrate you.
“For an innumerable amount of reasons I couldn’t even begin to describe, as all of those who know you and those who even don’t know you, would agree.
“It’s your day.”
Swoon. That’s some classic Ian Somerhalder right there.
It’s not enough for him to be very good looking and a pretty solid actor.
He also must be the most poetic, profound and deep-thinking star in Hollywood as well.
“The love and light you radiate to the world shines like a beacon for all to see,” he added in his birthday tribute, adding:
“Its that love and light that guides me to the safe shores of home from the turbulent and sometimes treacherous waters of life.
“Thank you for your tireless pursuit of spreading good, being an instrument of change and seamlessly weaving the complex threads of our lives together into the warmest, softest and most magical blanket.
“Every day I get to watch you being you I’m constantly reminded of your beauty and prowess and how lucky I am to share this life with you.”
This isn’t nearly the first time Somerhalder has gushed in such epic fashion over Reed, either.
Consider what he wrote upon sharing the photo above, which the couple used to announce their pregnancy.
“In my 38 years on this earth I’ve never experienced anything more powerful and beautiful than this.
“I can’t think of anything more exciting than this next chapter and we wanted you to hear this from us first.
“This has been the most special time of our lives and we wanted to keep it between the three of us for as long as possible so we could enjoy this time with each other and our little one who is growing so fast…
“Because that’s what they do, they grow so fast. Thank you for your kind energy.”
And then there was what Somerhalder wrote in celebration of the stars’ second wedding anniversary in April:
To the most amazing human in the world. Thank you for 2 incredible years of marriage. Thank you for being my best friend, the hardest-working, kindest, most patient and most talented woman I’ve ever known.
To you my love, I say that I know we will have so many of these we can’t even count them. Partly because I’ll be so old… I love you.
Seriously. He’s perfect.
And may we also add, in less beautiful fashion that anything Ian just wrote:
Happy birthday, Nikki!!!!!!

Nikki Reed Baby Bump: See It Here!
Nikki Reed has a pair of exciting new things on the way:
- A baby.
- A clothing line.
And, in anticipation of them both, the actress just shared a lovely photo of herself on Instagram.
Back on May 4, Reed and husband Ian Somerhalder revealed via social media that they were expecting their first-ever child together, sharing an adorable image of the latter kissing the former’s belly as a precious way of confirming the pregnancy.
Reed then addressed her “Little One” in a caption that served as a letter from Mom and Dad to Son or Daughter, writing:
“I know you, but only because I feel you. How is it possible to love someone so much already? All I know for sure is it’s the strongest feeling I’ve ever felt.
“We’ve been sharing this body for quite some time, and we’ve already experienced so much together. We can’t wait to meet you…”
Added Somerhalder:
“To our friends, family, and rest of the world: In my 38 years on this earth I’ve never experienced anything more powerful and beautiful than this.
“I can’t think of anything more exciting than this next chapter and we wanted you to hear this from us first.”
How totally cute and beautiful, right?
Now, a few days after making this announcement, Reed has posted the following picture to her Instagram page.
The former Twilight Star star is posing in the snapshot with a hand tenderly placed on the top of her belly, while also wearing The Nikki Dress, an outfit knit frock from her Bayou With Love brand that retails for $ 200.
“Check out our sustainable and low-chemical options for mamas to be,” wrote Reed as a caption, promoting her brand and adding:
“#bayougirl #bayouwithlove #sustainablefashion #maternity.”
Reed and Somerhalder have become known as much for their charitable efforts, especially when it comes to the environment, as for their acting abilities.
They also become known as the most open and in-love couple in the history of the universe.
Just a week before telling the world about the baby in Reed’s womb, the stars celebrated their two-year anniversary.
Wrote Somerhalder to his wife in honor of the occasion:
“To the most amazing human in the world. Thank you for 2 incredible years of marriage. Thank you for being my best friend, the hardest-working, kindest, most patient and most talented woman I’ve ever known.
“To you my love, I say that I know we will have so many of these we can’t even count them. Partly because I’ll be so old… I love you.”
Not to be outdone, Reed chimed in as follows:
My guy, my man, my honey, my partner in this life, my better half in every way. At exactly this time two years ago today we walked hand in hand into the next chapter, our chapter, together.
Every day gets better, every moment calling for even more.
Navigating the waters of life with you is the greatest and most rewarding adventure I’ve ever known. We climb, we grow, and we laugh at all of it. Thank you for being exactly who you are, and for loving all of me.
Thank you for your willingness to go even deeper. Until you, I had no idea what could be. Until you…Happy Anniversary.
How can you not be SO overcome with joy over these two becoming parents in the near future?
We don’t know exactly what they’ll write when their child is eventually born.
But we’re guessing it will be the most poetic words in the history of mankind.

Alec Baldwin: LYING About Sex Scene With Underage Nikki Reed?!
Alec Baldwin has a new memoir out, and like most things the sometimes-beloved actor is involved with, the release has not been without its share of controversy.
Yes, Baldwin opens up on his feud with Trump. (He even admits they have some things in common!)
And yes, he apologizes for being verbally abusive to Ireland Baldwin when she was a child (still hates her mom, though).
But Baldwin likely penned those parts of his memoir knowing they would spark some conversations that would hopefully lead to a boost in sales.
What he probably didn’t anticipate, however, is the brewing scandal surrounding the portion of the book concerning a racy scene he shot with Nikki Reed in 2006 … when the actress was just 16 years old.
Writing about his experiences shooting the indie film Mini’s First Time, Baldwin had this to say:
“I was 47, and it never occurred to me to ask how old Nikki Reed was.”
“When I found out, just as we finished, that she was 17, I flipped out on the producers, who had told me something different.”
Now, Dana Brunetti, a producer on the film, is claiming Baldwin is doubly full of it:
They say not only was Reed only 16 (not 17, as Baldwin claims), but that the actor was fully informed of her age before the scene was shot.
“My first indie film was Mini’s starring @AlecBaldwin who knew @NikkiReed_I_Am was 16 (not 17) and he didn’t mind,” tweeted producer Brunetti last night.
“In fact (Reed) was one of four actresses (Baldwin) had approved and her being the only one of those four repped by his own agency CAA.”
Brunetti went into greater detail in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter today, even going so far as to hit Baldwin with a Trump-related burn:
“It’s a lie,” Brunetti tells the magazine.
“I read it and was like, ‘What the f—. Of course he totally knew how old she was.”
Brunetti adds:
“He knew before we even cast the movie. I think he’s been method acting Trump too much and he doesn’t know the difference between fake news anymore.”
Fellow producer Ethan Astrowski backed up Brunetti’s version of events, stating:
“What Alec says happened is not accurate. I completely corroborate that. We were on set every day.”
The scene was perfectly legal due to the fact that Reed remained at least partially clothed, but lying about it is still not a good luck for Baldwin.
And he was having such a great, relatively scandal-free year, too!

Ian Somerhalder Poses with Nina Dobrev AND Nikki Reed, Sends Message to Haters
Talk about an unexpected threesome.
No, not THAT kind of unexpected threesome. We don’t think, at least.
But Ian Somerhalder has shared a photo on Instagram that we never thought we’d see, putting to rest all rumors of a feud between his ex-girlfriend and his current wife … and sending a pointed message to websites everywhere in the process.
(Excluding The Hollywood Gossip, we presume; we’ve always had nothing but love for Ian.)
As you can see above, the handsome Vampire Diaries star actually shared a meal on Tuesday with both Nikki Reed and Nina Dobrev.
This is surprising because Somerhalder dated Dobrev for a number of years, prior to marrying Reed within a year of him and Dobrev splitting.
It’s also surprising because the Internet has been filled with rumors ever since that Reed basically hates Dobrev and was thrilled when the actress left The Vampire Diaries after Season 6.
But Dobrev is returning for the show’s March 10 finale and used her time in Atlanta this week to grab food with her ex and his better half.
We’ll let Somerhalder explain the purpose behind this photo.
“Chilling with these two,” the actor wrote to open a lengthy caption that continues as follows:
“After years of websites pretending these two badass ladies knew each other well and baseless, false information of back stabbing and hatred from low-brow websites filled the minds and hearts of fans… They finally were able to get together for their first real dinner.
“Let’s stop spreading hate everyone, there’s already too much of that right now in our world. Join in on the love. Only love here- always has been always will be.
“Media companies preying on the passion from vulnerable and or impressionable minds of fans to sell advertising through click-though traffic is a disease in our society. It’s poisonous.
“Let’s finish this series with respect and kindness and continue that in our lives. I think it’s time. What do [you] think?”
We think that sounds great.
And Dobrev clearly feels the same. She posted her own picture of the three stars on social media last night:
“Can’t believe how time flies. Farewell dinner with team Somereed! So good catching up with these goofballs. All [love],” wrote Dobrev in her caption.
Despite the ongoing feud rumors, Dobrev and Somerhalder haven’t said a single negative word about each other in the press over the years.
When we watch The Vampire Diaries online to see Dobrev’s big return as Elena next month, we’ll be looking for signs of tension between the actor and the actress.
But we doubt we’ll find any.
Somerhalder and the Twilight Saga alum, meanwhile, got engaged after six months of dating in January 2015.
They surprised fans by then getting married – with little fanfare and no announcement ahead of time – at the Tuscali Mountain Inn in Topanga, California in April of that year.
Few celebrity couples gush over each other as often or with as much feeling as these two love birds on a nearly-weekly basis.
Reed shared the same photo above as her husband did yesterday, writing her own long caption to go along with it.
We’ll just go ahead and print the entire thing below:
For the last few years we thought addressing any baseless rumors with silence was the best way. Besides, who wants to respond to made up stories about “friends backstabbing friends”, “cheating exes”, or “cast members exiting shows” on low-brow websites like hollywoodlife that are just perpetuating trends that preceded us.
Yuck.
I now see that silence was taken as an opportunity to fill in the blanks with even more falsities, and juicer stories, and we, yes WE, believe we have a moral responsibility to young girls to end that narrative, because at the end of all of this, those young girls are the ones who lose.
Their passion and endless devotion for a tv show is being taken advantage of, replaced with feelings of anger through divisive techniques, & even worse, their minds are being shaped & molded as their view of themselves, other girls, & what those dynamics should look like are being formed.
So here’s to putting an end to all those fake stories of on set jealousy, betrayal, made-up-friendships lost & women hating women. Because at the end of the day, that’s what this is about: teaching girls that you have to hate other girls only breeds a generation of women who believe you have to hate other women.
And that’s what these magazines, websites and blogs don’t understand. That is the harmful unintended consequence of their bullshit stories and we have a moral responsibility to fix that. Let’s turn this page together, as we all walk into the next chapter peacefully.
And finally, let’s use this as an example of how important it is to stop this trend of writing horrible headlines about women, painting us as bitter, angry, insecure, heartbroken, childless, feuding, backstabbing monsters because whether we want to admit it or not, it changes the way all women view themselves.
And shame on these websites for now targeting an even younger demographic, instilling this at an earlier age when girls are even more susceptible, more vulnerable and more malleable. When we write these headlines we teach hate. I’ve seen it firsthand.
Let’s shift what we put into the universe starting now, & hopefully we will start to see a shift in the way we treat each other & view ourselves.
Wow. Amen, huh? Amen a thousand times over to this sentiment.
Somerhalder told Modern Luxury magazine in October that he and Reed will definitely procreate in the near future.
And he cannot wait.
“The second we were around each other, and not [dating] other people, we just knew,” said the profound star, adding:
“Oh, I will one day have amazing children with my beautiful wife. Absolutely, definitely. I live with someone who strives to find happiness and peace in the smallest things – whether it’s sitting for five minutes under a tree or getting out into the country and spending time on our horses or even just going for a walk around the lake or riding a boat.”
He also said that Reed is the “most caring, compassionate person I’ve ever known.”
How can you not adore these two?!?

Ian Somerhalder on Nikki Reed: Best. Human. Being. EVER!
Ian Somerhalder has taken the concept of #RelationshipGoals to an entirely new level.
The actor has now been married to Nikki Reed for over a year and a half, but if you think he’s remotely sick of her… if you think he takes her for granted… if you think he doesn’t fully appreciate each and every amazing aspect of his wife…
… well, you don’t know Ian Somerhalder.
Earlier this month, the beloved star of The Vampire Diaries gushed once again over Reed, telling E! News that he cannot wait to procreate with the actress.
His schedule is a bit packed at the moment, but once The Vampire Diaries Season 8 is done filming, Somerhalder said he “absolutely” wants to have kids with Reed.
Now, in an interview with Modern Luxury, Somerhalder has once again gone off on his wife.
In the most flattering way possible.
“The second we were around each other, and not [dating] other people, we just knew,” Somerhalder said of Reed, with whom he was friends for year.
But Reed was married and Somerhalder was with Nina Dobrev, so the relationship was strictly plutonic – until it wasn’t.
“I will one day have amazing children with my beautiful wife. Absolutely, definitely,” Somerhalder stressed to the publication.
He then went on to talk about Reed in a way few famous husbands or wives talk about their significant others:
“I live with someone who strives to find happiness and peace in the smallest things – whether it’s sitting for five minutes under a tree or getting out into the country and spending time on our horses or even just going for a walk around the lake or riding a boat.”
The pair got married in April of 2015 after just a few months of dating.
Like Ian says, however, he simply knew.
“I am so blessed that I did, indeed, find this human being that can deal with me and is also the most caring, compassionate person I’ve ever known.
“That’s why I wake up happy.”
Somerhalder has been talking about procreating with Reed for a long time now.
“It’s a pretty crazy time and place to bring a child into this turbulent, insane world …. but I really can’t wait to do it,” the actor said in September of last year.
And that was before Donald Trump was even the Republican nominee for President!
Somerhalder and Reed have a lot in common, from a love of animals to being in possession of amazing looks.
But what may bring them together more than anything is their desire to make the world a better place.
“My goal and Nikki’s goal in life is literally – my goal in particular – is to build for profit entities that will literally feed our necessary non-profit initiatives till the end of time,” he told Us Weekly of their plans back in July 2015.
“We definitely share that passion together in a very huge way.”
What a beautiful couple, right? And we’re not even talking about their looks.

Ian Somerhalder on Nikki Reed: Best. Human. Being. EVER!
Ian Somerhalder has taken the concept of #RelationshipGoals to an entirely new level.
The actor has now been married to Nikki Reed for over a year and a half, but if you think he’s remotely sick of her… if you think he takes her for granted… if you think he doesn’t fully appreciate each and every amazing aspect of his wife…
… well, you don’t know Ian Somerhalder.
Earlier this month, the beloved star of The Vampire Diaries gushed once again over Reed, telling E! News that he cannot wait to procreate with the actress.
His schedule is a bit packed at the moment, but once The Vampire Diaries Season 8 is done filming, Somerhalder said he “absolutely” wants to have kids with Reed.
Now, in an interview with Modern Luxury, Somerhalder has once again gone off on his wife.
In the most flattering way possible.
“The second we were around each other, and not [dating] other people, we just knew,” Somerhalder said of Reed, with whom he was friends for year.
But Reed was married and Somerhalder was with Nina Dobrev, so the relationship was strictly plutonic – until it wasn’t.
“I will one day have amazing children with my beautiful wife. Absolutely, definitely,” Somerhalder stressed to the publication.
He then went on to talk about Reed in a way few famous husbands or wives talk about their significant others:
“I live with someone who strives to find happiness and peace in the smallest things – whether it’s sitting for five minutes under a tree or getting out into the country and spending time on our horses or even just going for a walk around the lake or riding a boat.”

Ian Somerhalder: Ready To Make Babies With Nikki Reed!
When given the opportunity to procreate with this man, always say yes.
An interview about The Vampire Diaries turned into an inquiry about expanding the family for Ian Somerhalder, who married Nikki Reed in April.
“Well, you know, those are the coolest little things in the world,” Somerhalder told Entertainment Tonight about babies.
“Standby,” he added.
In October, Life & Style decided to stir the pot by claiming Reed, 27, wasn’t ready to have kids.
[He] has really been pushing Nikki to start a family,” a source claimed.
“She feels she’s just not ready yet, and that’s put a tremendous strain on their marriage.
“She wants to focus on her work for animal rights causes. Ian supports her, but he thinks it’s the right time for a baby.”
Anyhoo, let’s talk TVD!
Somerhalder touched on season 7 of the CW series, and how taking a turn in the director’s seat has made his schedule a full one.
“I’m going to be editing my episode all night, and that’s just kind of my main focus right now,” the Louisiana native said.
“Other than that, I’m just hanging with my wife [Nikki Reed] and my babies — our babies, all these furry creatures that we have.”
Between them, he and Reed have nine pets, but “can’t wait” start working on making real babies.
They are practicing, he said with that dead-sexy Damon attitude.
“Absolutely.”
As for the series, while fans would like it to last forever, all good things must come to and end. Someday.
“It’s something that everyone is talking about and there is a lot of speculation about it because we’re so far into it,” Somerhalder revealed.
“I’ll be honest with you, right now we’re just trying to get through this one and just make this a really, really good season of television.”
The Vampire Diaries airs Friday at 8pm on The CW.
