The Vampire Diaries alum Paul Wesley popped the question to his girlfriend of three years, Natalie Kuckenburg.
“Yes 🤍,” Kuckenburg, 25, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, July 19. “Always and forever.”
In the snap, Kuckenburg held Wesley’s hand while showing off her new, oval-shaped diamond engagement ring.
Wesley, 42, and the model traveled to Italy earlier this week.
“Had the best time at @belmondcastellodicasole with my love @paulwesley 🤎,” she wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, July 16. “Thank you so much for hosting us!”
Wesley and Kuckenburg have been together since fall 2022.
“There’s two people that are the funniest people in my life — No. 1, my dog, and number two, frankly, my girlfriend,” Wesley told People in March 2024. “I think the reason we get along so well is because all we do is laugh, and I think it’s probably one of the most important things in a relationship.”
This will be Wesley’s third marriage. The Star Trek: Strange New Worlds actor was previously married to Torrey DeVitto from 2011 to 2013 and Ines De Ramon from 2019 to 2022. The actor has also remained on good terms with DeVitto, 41, since their breakup.
“It was really for the best. He’s lovely — we shouldn’t have gotten married. We were really young when we met,” DeVitto, who is now married to Jared LaPine, said on the “Pretty Little Liars: True Crime” podcast in May 2024. “We were 22 and we were crazy. Two insane people getting married. We were young and wild.”
She added, “Once I knew that it was time to go, I always wanted the best for him. I still want the best for him. I actually bump into him here and there. It’s been so long.”
According to DeVitto, their divorce was especially “hard.”
“It was the first time I went through something like that publicly,” the Pretty Little Liars alum recalled.
After their divorce, Wesley moved on with his TVD costar Phoebe Tonkin. They dated on and off from 2013 to 2017. The next year, Wesley started dating jewelry designer de Ramon, 32, and they secretly wed in 2019. Wesley and de Ramon separated in early 2022.
“Their decision to separate is mutual and occurred 5 months ago,” reps for the now-exes told Us Weekly in a September 2022 statement. “They request privacy at this time.”
Wesley and de Ramon, who is currently dating Brad Pitt, finalized their divorce in March 2024.
