The recent absence of Ian Somerhalder at the Teen Choice Awards 2015 caused rumors when the actor and Nina Dobrev won the Liplock Award for the TV series "The Vampire Diaries." Fans have been speculating that it's Nikki Reed's fault.
One of the highlights of the Teen Choice Awards was for the celebrities who win the Best Kiss Award. Former celeb couple, Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder, recently won the award for Choice TV: Liplock at the August 16. But many fans were dismayed when the actor couldn't have his appearance for the show. And many are speculating that Nikki Reed allegedly banned Ian Somerhalder to attend the Awards night.
As mentioned by Movie Pilot, it would be awkward for Somerhalder to kiss Dobrev in front of his wife Nikki Reed, especially given the two's history as lovers. And it would be weird for fans if the on- screen couple would just gracefully exit the stage without any affection. So many speculated that may be the reason why the actor chose not to accept the award.
Celebrity Dirty Laundry mentioned that neither Somerhalder nor Reed was seen at the awards night, it was only Nina Dobrev who was there to represent the "Vampire Diaries" cast members. The publication also admitted that "it appears Nikki Reed banned Ian Somerhalder from reuniting with Nina Dobrev and the liplock win acceptance speech."
The three stars kept on insisting that there's no tension between them. But numerous reports by Yibada claimed that the "Twilight" actress is still very jealous of Dobrev. Earlier reports stated Reed allegedly asked her husband to unfollow his former "The Vampire Diaries" co-star on Twitter. She purportedly asked him to cut all of his connections with her.
However, during the show, Dobrev certainly didn't talk about Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder during her speech at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards. The actress won the Choice TV Actress in Sci-Fi or Fantasy category for her role as Elena in "The Vampire Diaries."
She said in her speech, "The last few months have been a big change for me. Change. It's a scary word, or I used to think that, because it meant new beginnings. New beginnings with a future that was unknown." The actress continued, stating that her exit from the series is necessary for her growth. She claimed, "Change is necessary. Necessary for you to grow up and learn and to better yourself, because everything in life comes to an end."
Meanwhile, Austin Stowell and Nina Dobrev are happy with their current relationship status. They've seen spending time and cozying up during a few occasions. Reed was allegedly envious of the new couple stealing the spotlight. But for now, both couples remained silent about the rumors circulating among them.
