Nikki Reed Shares Update on Life With Ian Somerhalder Their 2 Kids
Nikki Reed Gives Birth To Baby No. 2 With Ian Somerhalder
Several years ago, Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder were living the Hollywood dream as stars of two of the biggest onscreen vampire franchises.
Nowadays, the Twilight actress and Vampire Diaries alum reside away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. The pair, who have been married since 2015, haven’t acted onscreen since appearing together in the Netflix series V Wars in 2020. More than a year ago, they moved to a farm outside of the city with their daughter, Bodhi Soleil, 6, and baby boy, 6 months, whose name has not been made public. Nikki recently offered an update on their life away from the cameras.
“Right now, raising babies is the most important thing for me,” the 35-year-old told NewBeauty in an interview posted Dec. 28. “Then, Ian and I have an incredible documentary called Common Ground that is also of peak importanceâDemi Moore hosted the screening for it, which was really wonderful.”
Ian narrates the film, which focuses on climate change and is the sequel to the 2020 documentary Kiss the Ground. Nikki serves as an executive producer.
“We also have a company we’re launching that is going to market in January,” Nikki continued, “And then I have my business and holidays are always hectic with that. Literally, everything is all hitting at the same time, and everything is important.”
The actress keeps busy with her socially conscious jewelry brand BaYou With Love. The products are sold online but she hopes to soon see them in stores.
“How can we continue to strive towards better? For me, that means sustainability and amazing regeneration,” she said. “We even use diamonds that are grown using hydropower. I love that idea of that cyclical feeling of extracting, giving, and also giving maybe more than you’re extracting. That is a huge part of next year, bringing this line to a regenerative space. And, hopefully in 2024, we’re moving into a brick-and-mortar, too.”

As for Ian, in addition to making environmentally minded documentaries, he and his former Vampire Diaries costar Paul Wesley co-own their own bourbon whiskey brand, Brothers Bond Bourbon, which they launched in 2020.
In November, Ian spoke to E! News about where he saw himself in the future. “I will be a rancher and building legacy brands,” he said, “whether it’s my bourbon or my health and wellness company, and the regenerative agriculture and healthy soil management practices that I live by and our family lives by. That’s where my life was going.”
He continued, “So when people say ‘Why do you care?’ That’s why I care. Because that’s who I am, that’s what I’m going to become.”
Look back at Nikki and Ian’s cutest moments together below:

The Vampire Diaries actor wrote on Instagram Dec. 31, “Yeahhhhhhh 2024!”
Giving “Gratitude”
The Lost actor praises his wife for helping him get “out of a terrible business situation” that left him in the hospital. “This woman here decided that she didn’t want to see her husband ruin his body/mind/spirit and pulled up her bootstraps and got down in the trenches assembling a team to get to the negotiating table to find a way out,” he shared. “She devoted her life to getting me out of that mess and it almost killed her along the way. I am where I am BECAUSE of this woman. Brothers Bond Bourbon is actually here today because of this woman. I was able to start my life over because of this woman.”
Birthday Boy
In December 2020, Nikki shared a sweet birthday tribute to her husband, writing, “Happy Happy birthday to this man right here. The most creative, certifiably genius, deepest thinker of anyone I have ever known with the most giving spirit.”

It’s been nothing short of amazing to breathe the air of the bright blue sky all over this planet with you.”
