How Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed Built Their Life Away From Hollywood

“I feel like every time I say, ‘This is the year of slowdown,’ things just rev up!” added the Twilight actress, who called herself an “aspiring” farmer. “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.”

And in addition to her ventures with her husband of nine years, she’s got her socially minded jewelry business Bayou With Love, which she’s hoping to move into a brick-and-mortar location, plus everyday hectic life as a mama of two to deal with.

“Literally, everything is all hitting at the same time,” she noted, “and everything is important.”

But there’s no doubt in her household that she’s got this—whatever this is at any given time.

“I have never met a more resourceful human being,” Somerhalder said of Reed in 2022. “I think together, with our combined skills, we could live forever on an island. You can drop us on an island, and we would be okay.”
