Is Ian Somerhalder unhappy with the way a sexy Nikki Reed in "Sleepy Hollow?"

According to the new rumors, the sex appeal that Nikki Reed brings to Betsy Ross character has upset her husband, "The Vampire Diaries" star Ian Somerhalder, who apparently wants her to act "more motherly."

"The goal of 'Sleepy Hollow' showrunners was to bring a sexy twist with to the show with Nikki Reed," said Celebrity Dirty Laundry. "Since Reed made her debut as Betsy, she has been showing off her figure and features with leg-revealing dresses."

Even Nikki Reed admitted as much during an interview with Today show.

"I'm not your typical Betsy, not the one you would envision," the "Twilight" actress said. "Not the one in the rocking chair."

"It's our own take on Betsy so she's kind of a kick-ass, sexier version," she added.

Talking about "Sleepy Hollow" writers, Nikki Reed explained, "They really do such a good job of combining historical facts with such accuracy and they combine that with entertainment."

But there's also an added advantage of taking on the Betsy Ross character for "Sleepy Hollow" and that's because it's also shooting in Atlanta, Georgia where Ian Somerhalder's "The Vampire Diaries" is based.

"Somehow we joked that we manifested this because we work, like 15 minutes from each other," she said.

But Ian Somerhalder is reportedly unhappy with the way the showrunners and writers is trying to portray Nikki Reed as a "piece of eye candy."

"Somerhalder complains under the premise of trying to prevent his wife's career from relying on her body," CDL said. "But the fact that Ian wants Nikki to adopt a more motherly lifestyle is obvious. The baby and pregnancy plans [have] been a hot topic between the two, and Somerhalder isn't backing down."

Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed tied the knot in a private ceremony at Topanga Canyon, California back in April.
