Who is Natalie Kuckenberg? All about Paul Wesley’s fiancée

Natalie Kuckenberg, who was recently engaged to her partner of three years, Paul Wesley, The Vampire Diaries actor, have taken the next step in their relationship. The couple was on vacation in Italy when the actor proposed.

Natalie Kuckenberg posted a black-and-white photo of herself holding Wesley’s hand, with an oval-cut ring visible on her finger, on Instagram on July 19, 2025.

She captioned the photo simply:

“Yes 🤍. Always and forever.”

It all started in November 2022 when the couple were seen together after Paul Wesley’s divorce from Ines de Ramon. Rumors circulated about the two dating. It wasn’t until they were spotted kissing during a dinner date in Nerano, Italy, that speculation about their relationship intensified.

Since then, their relationship has grown as they frequently travel together and share snippets of their daily lives.

Wesley, in an interview with People magazine in March 2024, said:

“There are two people who are the funniest in my life, my dog and my girlfriend.”

He added:

"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."
