Actors Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed are adding another bundle of joy to their family! The couple is expecting their second child. “ROUND TWO HERE WE GO!!!!”

The Vampire Diaries star and Twilight alum shared separate posts featuring the same image, which showed Nikki displaying her growing baby bump while holding the couple’s first child, Bodhi Soleil. “All I’ve ever wanted from the time I was a young boy was to have a big family. Thank you Nik for giving me that gift,” Ian began his caption. He continued by expressing his gratitude for his wife. “Thank you thank you to this incredible human for the gift of life and love, for being the most incredible mom and working so hard to make dreams come true!!! When I was taking this photo, I could not believe what I was seeing through that viewfinder. There’s nothing more beautiful.”

For her post, the actress began, “2023 celebrating life. Years of dreaming, manifesting and praying over this very moment. So much love. What a gift.” She continued by discussing her boundaries with sharing her personal life online. “As all of you know, I have very strong boundaries with social media, especially when it comes to children and what I choose to put out into the world. Thank you so much for honoring that, and for sending positivity and kindness and LOVE. Some things are too good not to share.” At the end of his post, the former LOST star echoed Nikki’s sentiments. “All I ask is that everyone sends positivity to Nik & I during this time. The social space can be a strange one, but we can also make it a great one.”

Ian and Nikki began dating in 2014 and tied the knot in April 2015. They welcomed their daughter Bodhi in July 2017. The family now live a quiet life together on a farm.

Congratulations to Ian and Nikki on the news of their second child! We wish them lots of love as they await the arrival of their newborn.
