Are we going to hear wedding bells soon?
"The Vampire Diaries" star Ian Somerhalder is looking very eager and ready for 2015. He talked about his girlfriend, "Twilight" actress Nikki Reed via via Instagram on Thursday, January 8. 36-year-old Somerhalder said, "How I spent my New Year's Day- in a #tbt way- wow. Week one of 2015." He continued to write, "Thank you all for giving me so much strength-we're ready to kick major ass and make a great future starting now. Happy 1st week of the New Year- I hope you're on track with making your future the most sustainable and harmonious one possible..."
To add to the excitement, the actor, who played the character of Boone Carlyle in the TV Drama "Lost", had included a very romantic pic of the couple. He and his girlfriend had bent down for a quick selfie along with their two adorable puppies Nietzsche and Enzo.
26-year-old Reed's finalized divorce to her ex-husband "American Idol" season 10 alum Paul McDonald might also be a reason why Somerhalder is giving off the happy vibe. Nearly a year after announcing Reed and McDonald's split, they finally pair divided up their assets and gone their separate ways legally. Reed and McDonald previously tied the knot at a private ranch in Malibu, California in October 2011 and separated in March 2014. Reed filed for divorce two months later. In July, Reed had moved on with Somerhalder.
Though Reed split with McDonald, they remained amicable and were even recording music together. Back in July, McDonald talked about their album called "I'm Not Falling" in an interview with "Yahoo Music". He said, "Both Nikki and I are so proud of this album. I feel like through the process of writing and recording the album, we both grew significantly as songwriters and collaborators. It's been amazing watching Nikki grow as singer and discover a new confidence as an artist. Right now our passion for this project couldn't be stronger. We're planning on booking a tour soon."
