Paul Wesley and Natalie Kuckenburg Are Engaged After Three Years of Dating

After three years together, Paul Wesley is ready to walk down the aisle with Natalie Kuckenburg, making it official with a scenic Italian backdrop and a sparkling ring.

"The Vampire Diaries" alum Paul Wesley and his longtime girlfriend Natalie Kuckenburg are engaged after nearly three years of dating, with Wesley proposing during a romantic getaway in Italy.

"Yes," Natalie Kuckenburg captioned a black-and-white Instagram post on July 19, 2025, showing the couple holding hands and spotlighting a sparkling ring on her left hand. "Always and forever."

Just days before the engagement, the "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" actor shared snapshots from their European trip, writing, "A beautiful time in Tuscany." One photo showed Kuckenburg lounging in the sun, to which she replied in the comments, "The best time!!"

Though Wesley hasn't shared the proposal on his main Instagram feed, he did give followers a glimpse into their idyllic Tuscan getaway, highlighting moments of the couple relaxing under the sun and enjoying the scenery.

The engagement follows nearly three years of dating. Wesley, 42, and Kuckenburg, 25, first drew attention in late 2022 when they were seen showing PDA during a trip to Nerano, Italy. Since then, the couple has occasionally offered fans a glimpse into their relationship through their posts on social media.

This will be Wesley’s third engagement. He was previously married to "Pretty Little Liars" actress Torrey DeVitto from 2011 to 2013 and later to Ines De Ramon from 2019 until their separation in 2022.
