“We decided that we wanted to have children together, and it was just time,” Somerhalder explained. “But unbeknownst to poor Nikki, she didn’t realize that I was going to go in her purse and take out her birth control.”
Somerhalder continued: “By the way, it was the beginning of the pack, so I had to pop all those suckers out. It is a lot of work, especially after a little bit of sangria.”
Somerhalder revealed there’s a “six-minute video” where Reed is “freaking out” about it.
