Despite being surrounded by numerous rumors, Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed are still going strong. And now, the couple is said to welcome their first child.
The "Twilight Saga" actress Nikki Reed wanted to start a family for a long time with husband Ian Somerhalder. As per reports, when Ian and Nikki stepped out in public, the actress was spotted wearing loose clothes, hinting at a pregnancy.
Previously it was reported that Ian blamed the "Twilight" actress for his failing career. It's been speculated that he regretted his decision to break up with his "The Vampire Diaries" co-star Nina Dobrev when he married Nikki Reed.
Moreover, Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder's reunion in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 has led to divorce rumors between Ian and his wife.
However, another report by People denied the divorce rumors while saying that he exited TVD to create and produce more stories with wife Nikki Reed. As per Ian, after spending nearly a decade on TVD, he wanted to put their energies together into other stuff.
Ian believed that this merging of professional and personal life together with Nikki has only made their relationship stronger. The couple will be producing The CW drama series "Transience" under their production company, Rare Birds.
When it comes to the question of expanding their family, Ian has previously stated, "It's just about scaling down. You have to manage; you can only do so much at one time. Once I'm not on set for 15 hours a day, five days a week that frees up a lot of time. I'm excited about it!"
It seems like the time has come to manage kids and career simultaneously for the couple. Meanwhile, the "The Vampire Diaries" season 8 is currently in its mid season hiatus.
Viewers are worried about whether Ian Somerhalder character Damon Salvatore will be killed by Elena Gilbert played by Nina Dobrev. The final season of "The Vampire Diaries" will resume on January 13, 2017.
