Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder Create Epic ‘Twilight’ and 'TVD’ Crossover
Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder finally introduced each other to their vampire counterparts.
“Cc Emmett Cullen,” Reed, 35, captioned the clip of her first TikTok video on Thursday, January 18, referring to the Twilight character she married in the film franchise, played by Kellan Lutz.
The clip begins with Fitz and Tantrums’ song “Out of My League” playing in the background. Reed rocks jeans and a white T-shirt underneath a long camel coat. As she poses in front of the camera, Somerhalder, 45, walks into the frame wearing dark jeans and a leather jacket — reminiscent of his Vampire Diaries character, Damon Salvatore — and bumps into his wife.
As the couple make eye contact, the video transitions to a clip of Damon. A few seconds later, Reed’s character from the Twilight saga, Rosalie Hale, appears.

After becoming parents, the pair decided to move to a farm outside Los Angeles to raise their family. Following the birth of their son, Reed opened up about adapting to life as a family of four.

I feel like every time I say, ‘This is the year of slowdown,’ things just rev up!” she said in a December 2023 interview with New Beauty. “There are so many things that are so important all at the same time, right? Right now, raising babies is the most important thing for me.”

“Walking through the farm with kids and dogs and family,” he said to E! News in November 2023, “Every stop, you’re pulling off of trees or off of bushes, pulling up out of the ground and feeding everyone as you’re moving through the farm.”
