Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder began dating July 2014 not long after both stars ended previous relationships. Ian called it quits with his longtime girlfriend, Nina Dobrev in May 2013. Nikki filed for divorce from her first husband in 2014, ‘American Idol’ alum Paul McDonald, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Nikki and Ian confirmed their engagement in February 2015, and tied the knot two months later on April 26, 2015, in Malibu, California. The couple announced on May 4, 2017 that they were expecting their first child together. Nikki and Ian welcomed a daughter named Bodhi Soleil on July 25, 2017, and they welcomed their second child, a son, in June of 2023.
The couple revealed in 2024 that they’ve left Hollywood to live on a farm outside Los Angeles. The actors have had their hand in numerous businesses ventures. Nikki founded the company, BaYou with Love, which creates 14-18 karat gold jewelry collections designed by the actress. The pieces are all recycled gold, most of which are from used technology. She is also a proud advisor for Raised Real — a plant-based baby food delivery service that made a positive impact on her own life after it changed the way her daughter ate.
