Nikki Reed Dating on american Idol

Twilight star Nikki Reed is reportedly dating the American Idol contestant Paul McDonald.

The US actress, who plays Rosalie Hale in the vampire movie series, met the singer at the Red Riding Hood premiere at the beginning of March.

However, at the time, McDonald had no clue who she was and said to the American Idol cameras: 'Was she a famous actress or something? I'd hang out with her!'

According to E! Online, the couple have been seeing each other ever since and have been keeping in contact while Reed films Breaking Dawn by using Skype.

There were also claims that Reed's Twilight co-star Taylor Lautner has been Skyping another American Idol star Lauren Alaina but it's now been reported that's not true.

A source said: 'Taylor has only said hello to some of the Idol contestants when he has been in the same room as Nikki when she has been Skyping with her boyfriend.

'He has not Skyped one-on-one with any of the Idols.'
