Congratulations are in order for Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder, who are expanding their family, with the actress currently pregnant with their second child together.

The two married in April of 2015, having first been linked the year prior when they were spotted packing on the PDA during an outing to the farmer's market in Studio City, California.

Engaged in January of 2015, their romance came a year after the Twilight star announced her divorce from American Idol musician Paul McDonald, and two years after her now-husband split from his Vampire Diaries co-star Nina Dobrev, who is currently in a relationship with snowboarder Shaun White.

The couple have quite the green thumb

Just before they announced the news of her pregnancy, she had taken to Instagram to reveal that they welcomed the new year out on the land "camp style," of which she said: "Nice to have some quiet time with no cell service or internet for a second."

The couple are known for their "crunchy" likes and habits, and she added: "Meals were simple, most came from a crock pot I kept adding to as it got low. The goats chased each other in the rain and chickens ate more worms than their body weight. We lived in our puffy coats and wool socks because the heat wouldn't come on and hot water decided not to work, slept in the camper at night and worked on the property during the day."
