Two years ago, the couple decided to marry and build a family, which both dreamed of dating. The stars were so absorbed in their feelings that they did not notice anything around them, the decision to take a break in their careers and devote themselves to parenthood was quite obvious.

Nikki Reed admitted in an interview that Ian initially said that he dreams about the child and first raised the theme of parenthood. While giving an interview to Fit Pregnancy magazine, the actress shared her recollection of how they made the decision to become parents:

"He never concealed that he dreams of family and children! The decision was not simple, it's true, because I'm an actress and I have obligations to the agent, but Ian's arguments were too serious. He took my birth control pills and started throwing them to the toilet one at a time. It was very funny, after all, all the packaging was in the sewer. "

Somerhalder, present at the interview, confirmed every word of the spouse.

Open letter to Nikki Reed

What angered the fans and journalists in these words? Somerhalder was accused of violence, irresponsibility and disrespect for his wife, social networks were ripped from sympathetic comments and demand to show respect for the woman's desire to independently resolve such issues. Nikki Reed, unable to withstand this heat, decided on an open letter:

"We did not expect that our interview will provoke such a heat of passion, and the story of the tablets will be misunderstood. We sympathize with all who have faced violence and coercion - this is a serious gender issue, and we have great respect for the reproductive rights of women. I and Ian are grateful to everyone who spoke on this complex and controversial topic. I want to note that our words in the interview were comic in nature and in no case contained a story about violence and coercion! "
