Nikki Reed dating Ian Somerhalder?

Ian Somerhalder has sparked rumours that he is dating Nikki Reed after he was spotted holding her and nuzzling her neck.

The "Twilight" beauty and "The Vampire Dairies" actor Somerhalder raised eyebrows when they were spotted getting close in a market Sunday, reports contactmusic.com.

The two used to go on double dates when Somerhalder was dating his ex Nina Dobrev.

"I don't like any kind of negativity. I try to be good to everyone, whether it's a love, a friend, an ex. I'll always try to treat people the way I want to be treated," said Reed.

She was married to musician Paul McDonald and had claimed music was the secret to their happy marriage, but it fell apart in March and they filed for divorce in May.
