Ian Somerhalder And Nikki Reed Pile On The PDA As She Bans Him From ‘TVD’ Reunion With Nina Dobrev

Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed can’t help but show their love for each other. While Somerhalder’s time on The Vampire Diaries is winding down, the two took to social media and piled on the PDA.

According to People, the couple’s recent activity online proves that Somerhalder and Reed are just as in love with each other as ever. Although they have been married for a year now, they still gush about their romance on social media.

“Salty… sandy… sticky… sunburned. The best. I love this human,” Reed shared on Instagram. “My human.”

Somerhalder got in on the Instagram action and posted a picture of him and Reed posing together with the ocean as their backdrop.

Somerhalder and Reed have never been afraid of expressing their love for each online. In fact, according to Movie News Guide, their social media accounts are filled with cute posts about each other.

More recently, the two attended a Humane Society’s Rescue Gala in Inglewood, California. The pair looked their finest during the event and appeared very much in sync with each other.

While Somerhalder’s personal life is better than ever, his time on The Vampire Diaries is almost over. With the show’s potential end looming large, many fans expected Somerhalder’s ex-girlfriend and co-star, Nina Dobrev, to make a final appearance on the hit series.

As fans will recall, Dobrev left the series after Season 6. Ever since Dobrev’s departure, The Vampire Diaries has struggled to attract viewers and was even moved to a new night for the first time in its history.

For his part, Somerhalder has confirmed that the upcoming season will be his last. Many fans logically expect that the show will end without Somerhalder on board and that Dobrev would make a final appearance.

According to MStars News, Ian Somerhalder clarified his exit from the show on Twitter.

“Last weekend I talked to an audience at a Q&A about the end of #TVD and how excited I was to make what I believe – my last year – be as great as possible,” he shared. “Somehow in my infinite wisdom and end-of-season foggy brain, I managed to make it sound like the show was coming to an end.”

With Somerhalder’s departure confirmed, KpopStarz is reporting that Dobrev is not going to reunite with Somerhalder in the upcoming season. Not only has Dobrev moved on with her career after her exit from the series, but Reed does not want her husband to work with Dobrev ever again.

Although Reed’s ban on Somerhalder working with Dobrev hasn’t been confirmed, this isn’t the first time Reed has come between the old flames.

Dobrev left The Vampire Diaries in 2015, right before Reed and Somerhalder exchanged vows. Then, when Somerhalder and Dobrev were awarded a Teen Choice Award for Best Kiss a few months later, only Dobrev showed up at the event.

This led many fans to suspect that Reed had banned Somerhalder from the Teen Choice Awards. After all, it is tradition that the winners of the Best Kiss award swap kisses on stage.

At the same time, Dobrev has decided to take her talents to the big screen. With the actress trying her best to make a splash in the movie industry, there is little hope that she will return to the world of television in the near future.

That being said, an inside source told the Parent Herald that Reed has no qualms about allowing Somerhalder and Dobrev to work together again.

“The idea of Ian and Nina reuniting on screen for The Vampire Diaries doesn’t bother her one bit. She has no issues with this whatsoever,” the source revealed.
