The pair have been spotted out and about in Los Angeles, either jogging together or going out for coffee or a romantic dinner. Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed sure aren't shy about their relationship! The couple also engages in plenty of PDA too, as seen during their intimate lunch over the weekend at Joan's on Third.
Some fans have apparently not taken this news of Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed dating very well. Plenty are still hung up on the Ian Somerhalder pairing with his Vampire Diaries co-star Nina Dobrev, and have taken to social media to bash the 35-year old actor's new girlfriend. Little did these fans know that the Vampire Diaries actor wasn't about to let their insults pass without giving them a piece of his mind.
"You HATE NIKKI REED? Really? Do you know her? Hmmmm, I'm not sure that you do. Look on her Instagram feed or and all you will see is a compassionate and beautiful human being." Ian recently wrote on his Instagram account. "Please put your negative energy elsewhere. You don't even know the person you're talking about." Clearly, the Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed relationship is quite serious with this move by the actor to defend his lady love.
"Do you care about me? Ask yourself that question. What's the answer? Is it yes? If it is-then please be happy for me," the actor' strongly worded statement read. "Stop this nonsense-you're spreading horrible energy into the world. Do some research of the person you say sucks or you HATE. You'll find that she's a magical person doing great things in the world."
Even as early as now, with the couple just having started dating a couple of months back, there have been news that Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed are already planning to get engaged. According to Celebrity Dirty Laundry, sources who know the actor very well revealed that the two will be getting hitched soon.
The celebrity gossip website also revealed that Nina Dobrev, Ian's ex is not taking the news well and is considering quitting the show Vampire Diaries. Though nothing has been confirmed yet, the contracts of the actors for the show are about to end so it may be that Nina will use this opportunity to move on. Let's wait and see how this pans out.
