Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed have been married for two years and just announced that they’re expecting their first baby together. These two have always been over-the-top in their public declarations of love, and they’re usually hanging all over each other in paparazzi photos and on the red carpet. They seem joined at the hip and like they’re crazy about each other. To those of us with a more practical world view they can come across as fake as hell, but I think they’re truly convinced that their partner is the most special amazing person ever and that they’re living a Disney fairytale romance. I will be surprised if that lasts for them, but as I said I’m a cynic.
Anyway here’s what Ian posted for Nikki’s birthday. She turned 29 yesterday. I could have sworn she was older than that, but she just has one of those mature-looking faces I guess. Ian is 38. This is an Instagram slideshow so there are more photos of them together if you mouse over it and use the arrows.
Ian thanked Nikki for “seamlessly weaving the complex threads of our lives together into the warmest, softest and most magical blanket.” MOST MAGICAL BLANKET. Their love is a magical blanket that comforts and invigorates them. I think I would find that blanket smothering but that’s the type of relationship they have, one where they’re snuggled tight in a hot dutch oven of love. They’re going to be so extra when their baby comes and I really can’t wait.
So is this sweet, cloying, or a little of both?
Oh and Nikki has launched a mini beauty product line with Anthropologie. Nikki and Ian are committed to the same causes including animal rights, animal rescue, vegetarianism and the environment. Now that part I understand.

That man really feels his feelings. And then writes them ALL down. *shrugs*
Hehe! Your comment made me chuckle. I’m already picturing the flood of words that will occur when the baby is birthed.
Yeah he’s super passionate and emotional…I think she will tire of him…or he’ll run out of mushy steam once he’s done being extra over their precious, ethereal off spring. FFS these two are so cloying!
I still find them shady considering he used to date Nina Dobrev, while Nikki and Nina were besties. And if you honestly need to share this much about how fantastic your life is, perhaps there’s something missing. Very thirsty.
I didn’t know this part…scandal! I knew she was married to a guy from American Idol and that she seemed to marry Ian quickly.
Nah, Nikki and Nina were friendly, but not besties. And they had been broken up for over two years before he got with Nikki. Ian seems sweet. Verbose and sappy, but sweet.
I predict that their divorce will be epic…
Speaking of weaving, all i can see when I look at him is that synthetic mop on his head.
funnny!!!!!
I can’t with his hair. It’s as EXTRA as the rest of him
Barf.
I came here to say the exact same thing.
Barf all day long.
I’m sorry but even the 14-15 y.o I teach every friday would describe those captions as embarassing and over the top.
They remind me both so much of Chrissy Teigen so much haha, in terms of they just loooooove to overshare and be in your face about how just so perfect their lives are. I used to really hate Chrissy but now I’m kind of like whatever. I still find her super annoying but I love that she is so energetic in everything that she does.
I feel like Ian was more low key when he was dating Nina Dobrev, you hardly heard about them. I didn’t realize how cheesy he could be! Thank you Nikki for bringing this out of him because I find it so hilarious. It is your gift to humanity.
Ewwwwwww. Major over do and desperate attention seeking. They are going to sell sell sell this kid something fierce! It really is the children of the thirsty C+ listers who get the worst of it.
I will be calling my Insurance provider to see if they can cover the Insulin shots, by the time the Baby arrives these two will f*cking Cloy us into a diabetic coma and Im so sure of it I might as well book the hospital room in advance
They seem like the type who enjoy very high highs and extremely low lows. Once they have a kid their dynamic will change and I wonder if he’ll enjoy splitting his attention with a baby, I wish them the best but they really are way over the top!
They’re a very attractive couple, I’ll give them that. The declarations of love are definitely over-the-top, but they seem happy. I also agree that when their baby arrives they’ll probably take the whole “parenthood is so wonderful & magical” to a whole other level, so we better brace ourselves now (and this is coming from a mom of 2).
The thirst is so real with them. I find them so annoying lol
Between the two of them, they have 23 rescue animals. They will always be heroes to me.
I usually would be eye rolling all over the place but I’ll let them off cause they really do suit each other and seem SO into it, I’m slightly jealous!
I need to look for my inner romantic cause I think lost her after my first kid lol (just had kid 3, it’s killed any romance for now)
Why are his eyes always at half mast?
the unbearable weight of da feelz, i would guess.
lol.
with so many celebs so very over the top, they just seem typical at this stage.
sorta cute, sorta eye rolling, sorta so 2017.
LOL both of you
LMAO at the unbearable weight of da feelz.
They’re actors why are we surprised by how they behave when they’re in love. These people have all the “feelings” so you will get most of them saying weird shit like “blanket of love”. Hopefully it works out for them and if not then we can laugh at them when they break up.
i wish she’d weave me a blanket of ever replenishing cash…
He’s such a narcissist. His instagram/twitter and the “foundation” he named after himself are proof of that.
One of my pet peeves is sloppy metaphors. I mean, sure, go profess your love for each other all day long, but do you really have to be all IKEA about it?
I am so over couples calling each other- amazing humans, my human etc.
I didn’t think you were feline or of reptiles, please.
