Ian Somerhalder Carries Nikki Reed's Purse So She Can Cover Her Ring Finger! Are They Secretly Engaged??

What a gentleman!
As Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder left their lunch spot in Brentwood on Tuesday, Ian did Nikki a favor and carried her purse for her.
But while we admire his chivalry, we can’t help but wonder why Miz Reed needed help with her bag in the first place — she could have easily carried it if she wasn’t holding what appeared to be a t-shirt over her left hand!

What an odd way to carry a shirt!
Which makes us wonder… now that Nikki and Paul McDonald are officially divorced, did Ian pop the question without telling anyone?
Are they secretly engaged???
Show us that ring finger, gurl!! We’ll keep speculating until we see…
