Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder want children

Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder want to have children soon.

The couple, who got married in a romantic ceremony at the Tuscali Mountain Inn in Topanga, California, late last month, are reportedly hoping to have a honeymoon baby.

A source told Life & Style Weekly: "Ian promised Nikki in his wedding vows that he was going to be the best dad ever and that they were going to start 'the baby-making process' right away.

"They discussed getting pregnant on the last leg of their honeymoon. It would be a great story to tell their children."

The 36-year-old actor recently described married life with the 27-year-old actress as "amazing" and added that their first few weeks as husband and wife had been the "best time [he's] ever had".

The hunky actor also gushed over Nikki on his Instagram account and called her a "dream come true".

Alongside a photograph which showed a shirtless Ian next to his wife following their honeymoon he wrote: "Feet back on US soil aka... New York City. Dreaming of the Costa Rica rainforest. Thank you to this beautiful country: it's land and its people. Thank you to this beautiful woman who makes every day a dream come true. Pura Vida (sic)."
