Ian and Nikki’s relationship journey

Following their PDA while visiting a farmer's market in Studio City, California, in July 2014, rumours about Reed and Somerhalder's relationship first surfaced. Somerhalder and Reed got engaged six months after going public with their relationship. Nearly two years after Ian's breakup with Nina Dobrev from the vampire drama The Vampire Diaries, Reed announced her divorce from singer Paul McDonald. At the same time, they became engaged. Three months later, in April 2015, the couple exchanged vows in a romantic ceremony in Topinga Canyon in Malibu, California. The birth of their daughter Bodhi Soleil on July 25, 2017, marked Ian and Nikki's first parenting experience. The family is now settled on a farm outside of Los Angeles, where they can live in peace and privacy away from the spotlight.
