The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder has admitted he lost his virginity when he was just 13 — with a significantly older girl.
The 40-year-old actor, who is now married to Twilight star Nikki Reed, talked sex with Andy Cohen on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy on December 4, divulging that he was incredibly young when he did it for the first time.
‘It was fun,’ he added lightly, with a laugh, telling Andy that it was during his teen modeling days and his partner was 16 years old.

Ian didn’t express any regrets from having sex so young, and noted that by the time he did it, he already knew quite a bit on the subject from spying on his older brother Robert.
‘I had an older brother. My brother was seven years older than me, so he taught me a lot,’ he said.
‘And he was quite a Cassanova… and he used to have girls in his bedroom all the time.
‘And what I did was, I went in the bottom corner of his window and I pinched the Venetian blinds down, so I had a clear view, and then when he’d have girls over… and I would watch. And I learned a lot.’
Ian added that he would do this even when it was quite cold outside, so he’d have to bundle up in a coat and gloves and bring hot chocolate to keep warm while he played Peeping Tom.
But, he argued, it’s worse these days because kids have access to porn on the internet.
‘Now kids are watching all this s*** on the internet and it’s destroying society,’ he said.
Still, Ian indicated that he believes that a lot of young teens are pretty tuned in to sexuality.
All kids are pretty ― when you’re 13 and you’re a boy…or a girl…but boys are pretty on it,’ he said.
Knowing this, though, has him shaking in his boots as a parent; he and wife Nikki have a two-year-old daughter named Bodhi Soleil and he admits that he is already suspicious about the boys she might meet because of the things he saw growing up.
‘It’s scary being a parent now, because you know all this stuff. You look at all these different dudes like [growls],’ he said.
‘It’s so vastly unfair,’ he added. ‘All my friends who are guys who have sons are like, “Yeah, you’re gonna get a date, you’re gonna do this —” [but] all the guys with daughters are like, “I will kill these little bastards. It’s so vastly unfair.’
