Nikki Reed recently opened up in an interview with New Beauty where she shared details about her “busy farm life” with husband Ian Somerhalder. The “Twlight” actress and “Vampire Diaries” actor tied the knot in 2015 and are now parents to 6-year-old daughter Bodhi and a 6-month-old baby boy. The family recently moved to a farm house on the outskirts of Los Angeles last year and occasionally share snippets of their farm life on Instagram. In her interview with New Beauty, Reed gave more details about their life in the country. “I’m an aspiring farmer—literally. I wish I could give it all up to live in nature with the animals. I’m sort of pulled between two worlds, which is the life of a crazy-busy businesswoman, and then someone who really wants to create that quiet time,” Reed told New Beauty. “Animals and nature are my peace. That’s where I thrive.”

When asked what is most important to her at the moment, Reed said “Right now, raising babies is the most important thing for me. Ian and I have an incredible documentary called ‘Common Ground’ that is also of peak importance.” The documentary is about the American foot system and “regenerative” agricultural practices.
“Let me tell you, life is so busy and so wonderful. But life has gotten incredibly busy, and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing down any time soon,” Reed, who also runs a lifestyle brand, continued. “I feel like every time I say, ‘This is the year of slowdown,’ things just rev up! There are so many things that are so important all at the same time, right?” Although her life is busy, Reed and Somerhalder are loving it. “To me, it’s about merging all worlds,” Reed said of blending her professional and personal passions. “There’s room be human in all of it.”
