Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed are allegedly on the brink of getting a divorce following rumors that "The Vampire Diaries" star is pressuring his wife to have kids.
Somerhalder and Reed are reportedly fighting nonstop over their plans for the future. Sources close to the couple claimed that Reed is still not ready to have a baby as she still wants to prioritize her career.
The publication also claimed that this is the same reason why Nina Dobrev dumped Ian Somerhalder years ago. The actor was allegedly eager to start a family but his then girlfriend was just not ready for such a huge commitment.
When Somerhalder married Reed, the latter assured her husband that she wanted to have kids. It seems, however, that she had a change of heart.
"Nikki is actually savvy when it comes to navigating Hollywood," the source said.
"Having a baby right now would not be wise for her career, especially after rocketing toward stardom after her 'Twilight' success."
Nikki Reed just landed a part on "Sleepy Hollow" as Betsy Ross. It was said that the actress will not do anything to jeopardize her career.
"Nikki's the perfect choice to bring a smart and sexy edge to our show's twisted version of American icon, Betsy Ross," showrunner Len Wiseman told The Hollywood Reporter.
Insiders pointed out that when Nikki Reed landed the role, she talked to Ian Somerhalder and told him that she does not want to have a baby right now. She was worried that she may get cut from the series if she ever got pregnant.
"A pregnant Betsy Ross wouldn't be sexy and trying to hide a baby bump while sexualizing the character would be a challenging," CDL reported.
"Plus, 'Sleep Hollow' isn't shy getting rid of series regulars, cutting 3 major characters by the end of season 2."
