Nearly 20 years after the first installment in the blockbuster Twilight series premiered, fans are still just as devoted as ever to the actors who played the iconic sparkly-skinned immortals — so it's not a huge surprise that a recent reunion between two members of the Cullen family sparked some serious online gossip.
In a clip shared to TikTok this week from a recent convention, Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen) and Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale) snapped a joint selfie, laughing as they tried out different poses. Facinelli, 51, and Reed, 37 — who played "father and daughter" in the movies — were super affectionate with each other in the sweet video, which was all Twihards needed to see before sounding off in the comments about the pair's relationship.
"The hand placement????" one person wrote, with a second adding, "And he kisses her neck, too."
"Ian where are you?" someone else wanted to know (referring to Reed's husband, actor Ian Somerhalder of The Vampire Diaries).
"I'm here for the drama," another person declared.
Other commenters dismissed the idea of a romance between the former co-stars.
"OMG GUYS CALM DOWN HE PLAYED HER DAD AND THEY KNOW EACH OTHER FOR OVER TEN YEARS," one fan argued, as another gushed, "SO SWEET!! I love how they are still such close friends."
One thing is certain: Reed and Facinelli are definitely good friends. During a virtual reunion on Instagram Live in 2020, Facinelli joked that Reed was his "favorite daughter" from the Twilight movies, per E! News.
"I wrote to Nikki today and I said, 'You're my favorite daughter. Don't tell the others. You're my favorite child,'" he quipped, adding, "So whoever's on this live chat, don't tell the rest of the Cullens that she's my favorite," he teased.
During the same chat, Reed reflected on their longstanding friendship.
"We've all seen each other go through how many different chapters of life now? It's pretty wild," she told Facinelli.
"When you started the first Twilight I think [your daughter] Fiona was 2 or 3," she continued. "Now I have a 3-year-old. It makes me feel so emotional actually because I don't even know how to put into words what it feels like to look back at life and go, 'Now I see different chapters in life.'"'Twilight' Stars Get Cozy in Surprising Reunion and Fans Are 'Here for the Drama' first appeared on Parade on Jul 16, 2025
