“All I ask is that everyone sends positivity to Nik & I during this time. The social space can be a strange one, but we can also make it a great one.”
Sharing the same photo on her own Instagram, the Twilight star shared her gratitude for her pregnancy and excitement to share the news.
“2023 celebrating life🖤Years of dreaming, manifesting and praying over this very moment. So much love. What a gift,” she began her caption.
“As all of you know, I have very strong boundaries with social media, especially when it comes to children and what I choose to put out into the world. Thank you so much for honoring that, and for sending positivity and kindness and LOVE. Some things are too good not to share :),” she concluded, tagging Somerhalder as the photographer.
Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed, who married in April 2015, welcomed their daughter Bodhi in July 2017 after announcing their pregnancy a few months earlier. Despite choosing to raise Bodhi away from the public eye, the couple has been open about their home life on a farm and the peaceful “magic” of their rural lifestyle as a family of three.
