Newlywed Ian Somerhalder seemed to be enjoying his first days with his wife, Nikki Reed. During The CW Upfront Presentation on May 14, the 36-year-old star couldn't hide his happiness about being married and told E!, "Amazing. It's great. It's the best time I've ever had."

The star of "The Vampire Diaries" even showed off his marvelous wedding ring which he said was designed by Nikki. During the interview, he also joked that it's "really sweet" that the TV network threw a congratulation party for him by gathering the cast of his show.

Besides talking about his personal life, the star talked about how his character on the supernatural drama series, Damon and Nina Dobrev's Elena, could be the most "epic" couple of all time.

It's not the first time Ian gushed over his new wife. He praised the "Twilight Saga" star in the caption of his Instagram picture. He said, "Thank you to this beautiful woman who makes every day a dream come true."

The couple tied the knot on April 26 in Malibu, less than a year after they began dating. Shortly after their marriage, the couple spent honeymoon in Mexico, Brazil, and Costa Rica.
