Apparently, there's no room for a Nina Dobrev-Ian Somerhalder reunion. The actor is believed to be so in love with new girlfriend Nikki Reed and he doesnt hesitate to prove it. He even showed his affection towards his new love publicly at an evening gala.

Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed reportedly looked very much like the loved-up couple while attending the "2014 Unlikely Heroes Awards Dinner Gala" last November 8. A source told Eonline that the "Vampire Diaries" star "looked enamoured and crazy in love with" his new girlfriend. Despite the presence of the other attendees at the event, the couple showed no reservations in showing their PDA.

"They couldn't keep their hands off each other," the source revealed.

Ian Somerhalder was also all out in his support for Nikki Reed when she spoke on stage. According to the source, the 35-year-old actor "couldn't help taking photos and videos" of his 26-year-old girlfriend.

The "Vampire Diaries" star even pleaded for the trolls to put their negative energy elsewhere since they don't even know who Nikki really is. The actor even challenged haters to look into Nikki's Instagram feed or Twitter to prove that the person they hate is a "compassionate and beautiful human being."

"Do some research of the person you say sucks or you HATE. You'll find that she's a magical person doing great things in the world," Ian wrote on his Instagram post.

Despite all the "negative energy" thrown at Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed's relationship, the couple has remained strong and according to E!, still very much in love. The pair may have only been dating for a few months but they have already decided to move in together.
