Paul Wesley Is Engaged to Girlfriend Natalie Kuckenburg After Three Years of Dating

Paul Wesley and Natalie Kuckenburg’s romance was love at first bite sight.

The Vampire Diaries star and his girlfriend of nearly three years shared that they are taking the next step in their relationship after Paul got down on knee during a romantic trip to Italy.

“Yes,” Natalie wrote on Instagram July 19 alongside a black-and-white photo of her and Wesley holding hands, featuring a dazzling ring on that finger. “Always and forever.”

Just days before he popped the question, the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds actor also shared a few snaps from their European adventures.

“A beautiful time in Tuscany,” the 42-year-old captioned several photos from their travels, including one in which Natalie, 25, could be seen relaxing on a lounge chair, after which she commented, “The best time!!”
