Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder have apologized for their unfortunate pregnancy story.

The couple had sparked a huge scandal when reed said on a podcast that Somerhalder had thrown away her birth control pills because he wanted a baby. This provoked a lot of emotions, so she had to defend him on Twitter. However, the two were now forced to apologize publicly. "This is an extremely serious issue and women's rights are something that is incredibly important to both of us. It is something that we are vocal about and that is close to our hearts. We would never have believed that a carefree interview in which we could find ourselves made fun of ourselves and our decision to have a child - a silly moment in Barcelona with two of our best friends and the expectation of starting a journey together - would turn into such serious business. "

Finally, they said sheepishly: "We are two happily married people who together decided to have a baby. End."
