Ian Somerhalder, Girlfriend Nikki Reed Were Touchy-Feely at the ‘Teen Choice Awards’ (PHOTOS)

Ian Somerhalder and his rumored girlfriend Nikki Reed are not hiding their romance anymore and made their first public appearance together when they walked the blue carpet at the 2014 "Teen Choice Awards" on Sunday, Aug. 10.

Onlookers told Hollywood Life that the couple was touchy-feely and Somerhalder pulled Reed in for a hug. The two didn't stay on the carpet long before being ushered inside for the event. Reed, who is fresh off a divorce from Paul McDonald, and Somerhalder previously attended Comic-Con and the Young Hollywood Awards together but always arrived separately.

The "Teen Choice Awards" was the first time both arrived to an event together. "The Vampire Diaries" star was nominated for Choice TV Actor, Sci-fi/Fantasy and Choice Male Hottie. Reed wasn't nominated for any awards that night but wanted to show support for the actor.
