Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder Welcome Baby No. 2!
Years ago, Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder were the stars of two of the biggest vampire franchises.
Today, the Twilight actress and Vampire Diaries alum live away from Los Angeles. They have been married since 2015 and have not acted together since their appearance in the Netflix series V Wars in 2020. The couple moved to a farm outside of the city with their 6-year-old daughter, Bodhi Soleil, and their new baby boy, who is six months old and does not have a name yet. Nikki recently provided 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 importance—Demi 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.”

In addition to making documentaries, Ian 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 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.”
