Paul Wesley (43) and Natalie Kuckenburg (25) got engaged while vacationing in Italy last month. They were first seen together in 2022.
Natalie is a model who made her runway debut in Balmain’s spring/summer 2020 show and later walked at New York Fashion Week in September 2022. In April 2025, she launched a clothing line named Nareia that sells crocheted clothing made by women in northern Brazil. It was scheduled to begin selling items this summer.
Paul is best known for playing Stefan Salvatore on The Vampire Diaries. He is currently playing Captain Kirk on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. His first marriage was to actress Torrey DeVitto who he met on the set of Killer Movie in 2007 when she was 24 and he was 25. She costarred on TVD as Meredith Fell in 2012. Paul and Torrey were married from April 2011 to July 2013 (she got married last year). Paul (31) then dated his Vampire Diaries costar Phoebe Tonkin (24) from September 2013 to October 2017.
Paul (35) and Ines de Ramon (25) were first spotted together publicly in June 2018. Ines is the head of wholesale for L.A.-based jewelry brand Anita Ko Jewelry, which counts stars like Hailey Bieber, Kourtney Kardashian, and Mandy Moore among its fans. Reports that Paul and Ines were married surfaced in February 2019 when they were both photographed wearing wedding bands, but according to the divorce filing, they actually married in August 2018. When they officially announced their separation in September 2022, they said they had separated five months earlier. In August 2022, Paul (40) was photographed holding hands with Natalie (22) in New York. In November 2022, Ines (29) was spotted with Brad Pitt (59) at Bono’s Stories of Surrender book tour in Los Angeles.
I never would have known that Paul and Natalie got engaged if I hadn’t been looking for a promo for this week’s episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and stumbled upon Rebecca Romijn congratulating them!
