Over The Moon Ian Somerhalder Can't Stop Praising Fiance Nikki Reed; 'The Vampire Diaries' Actor Shares Instagram Post Of The Engagement Ring

"Vampire Diaries" actor Ian Somerhalder has been using his Instagram to pay tribute to fiancée Nikki Reed, and his latest post was no exemption.

A couple of days ago, Ian Somerhalder shared an Instagram photo of his hand holding Nikki Reed's. Her huge engagement ring appeared to dominate the image. The "Vampire Diaries" actor wrote as caption to the black and white image, "So excited-heading to @humanesociety Gala in Miami to present an honor to a beautiful woman whom I'm so grateful to be her date. Amazing how effortlessly the missions of like minds and shared hearts line up and fuel one another to create such amazing change-standing up for those with no voice."

" I'm blown away by @iamnikkireed , the Humane Society as well as all of you that support all of these amazing causes to make this incredible change. YOU are the real change makers... "Will the real change makers please stand up..." he added.

One fan commented, "I've no idea if you'll even see this, but a belated CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement, I've never met either of you and may never meet you. But as a fan I just wanted to say that I genuinely hope you're both very happy together, and that it doesn't matter what other people think, as long as you're both happy that's all that really matters."

Not to be outdone, Nikki Reed also shared a photo via Instagram of his hand holding her legs while Ian Somerhalder's cowboy hat sat on his lap.

She wrote, "On my way to the Gala in Miami where I am so excited to be receiving The Humane Society of the U.S.'s Inspirational Award! I'm also unveiling my brand new ad campaign to stop breed-specific-legislation all across the country. Check out the behind-the-scenes video from my shoot at HumaneSociety.org/BSL ....Also, I may or may not have a very handsome date that wanted to come along and present my award :) Shhhhhh!"

One fan noted, "you're sweetest, most inspiring adorable couple on the planet! keep changing the world together :)"

Nikki Reed and "Vampire Diaries" actor Ian Somerhalder didn't really make a formal announcement of their engagement in keeping with their efforts to guard their privacy.
