On Saturday, People reported that Nikki Reid was not wearing her wedding ring when she was snapped on Saturday stepping out of the gym in Los Angeles wearing black tank top and black sunglasses.

"They remain best friends and look forward to their continued journey together,"People reported, quoting the rep.

Both Nikki Reed and "American Idol" alum Paul McDonald met during the "Red Riding Hood" premiere in March 2011 and confirmed to tabloid press that they were dating. Just a few months later, in October 2011, the two were married in Malibu, E! News reported.

Before the Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald split, the "Twighlight" actress spoke withE!  in January this year and said that making sacrifices is the key to successful marriage.

"Last year Paul was on tour and I went to 30 shows, and yeah, it was a big deal, and this year I'm doing all this promo and he flies with me," she said.

That interview did not mention the Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald album, as she said that she liked the independence in their relationship as her former husband "does his music and stuff like all day every day. We don't just hang out together; he separates and goes to the music studio and he works and then I work too."
