Nikki Reed just dropped a rom-com-meets-vampire-fanfic bomb at Vampire Fan Weekend and we are emotionally unprepared. Like, grab your garlic bread and hold on.
So apparently, back in the ancient times of the early 2000s (aka when flip phones ruled and Hot Topic was sacred), baby Nikki was filming Thirteen—her edgy teen debut—and bam, Ian Somerhalder saw her across the room and had a total “who dat 🧐” moment. ICONIC.
“He literally spotted me from across the vampire ballroom or whatever,” Nikki basically said (not really, but let’s pretend), “and was like ‘Who is SHE?’” Fast forward a few bat bites and philanthropic bonding moments later, and boom—they’re friendzoned but make it hot celebrity edition™.
Now here’s where it gets juicy like a freshly stabbed blood bag: years go by, everyone’s married or emotionally unavailable, Nikki’s like “hey I got divorced, but it’s chill we still jam on the guitar ✌️,” and Ian suddenly grows fangs of confidence and is like:
“I’m dating someone but LOL that ends today because it’s ALWAYS BEEN YOU.” 😭😭😭
Nikki tried to be a responsible adult and was like, “Nooo don’t ghost your boo just for me 🫣,” but Ian was already packing up his emotions in a suitcase labeled “Reed or Nothing.” He waited, he plotted (romantically, not villainously), and then they DINNERED INTO DESTINY.
Cut to now: they’re married, vibing on a small Californian farm raising two adorable tiny humans and probably some goats. 🐐🌾 No drama, no bloodshed (we think), just love, veggies, and emotional support chickens.
Honestly? Stephanie Meyer couldn’t write a better plot twist.
