That's one way to thank your wife.

Ian Somerhalder took to Instagram to pay tribute to wife Nikki Reed in a way that should make men everywhere appear insecure: by going shirtless and being sweet at the same time.

"The Vampire Diaries" actor wrote the caption, "Feet back on US soil aka... New York City. Dreaming of the Costa Rica rainforest. Thank you to this beautiful country: it's land and its people. Thank you to this beautiful woman who makes every day a dream come true. Pura Vida."

Ian Somerhalder and wife Nikki Reed have been honeymooning in Mexico and Brazil after their intimate wedding late last month.

Nikki Reed also couldn't help but gush over "The Vampire Diaries" actor while they were lounging on a cot in the middle of a white sand beach. She wrote, "On vacation Salty...sandy...sticky...sunburned. The best. I love this human. My human."

In a previous interview with Into The Gloss Nikki Reed said that they are happily settling as husband and wife.

"I'm happy to make him a midnight snack all the time. I mostly eat plant-based, so give me an avocado or something, even late at night, and I'll be happy," she said.

Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder got engaged after just six months of dating, but it seems they are really made for each other, bonded by their loves for animals and the environment.

During the 3^rd Noble Awards earlier this year, Nikki Reed talked about how she and "The Vampire Diaries" actor are on the same page when it comes using their position into effecting change.

"We do wake up in the morning and talk about those things," Nikki Reed said. "That's the revelation that I've had in the last couple of years is understanding my role in this, and that one individual can actually do something, can change the world."
