Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev ended their relationship in 2013, and he was involved with Nikki Reed about a year later. The two ended up going public shortly thereafter, and their love was like lightning in a bottle. Somerhalder proposed to Reed in 2015, and the two exchanged vows three months later. Their outdoor nuptials were held at Topanga Canyon in Santa Monica, California. “We really wanted our wedding to be small, intimate, and about the two of us,” Reed told Brides Magazine (via Glamour) after the wedding. “We wanted a Louisiana backyard-barbecue feel, with food stations and a dance floor for our closest friends and family. It really was all about the food, the dancing, and the love,” she added.

Somerhalder and Reed do their best to stay out of the spotlight. In 2021, Somerhalder made an appearance on Andy Cohen’s “Radio Andy” radio show on SiriusXM and was asked about the key to a good relationship. “Communication, taking time for yourself, for yourselves together. She’s the first one that says, ‘Go, go on a bike ride, go socially distance walk with your buddies, go have a bourbon at the bar,’ you know, like ‘Just go,'” Somerhalder said. The actor also said that he and his wife “don’t really fight.”
