Paul Wesley and Natalie Kuckenburg's love story blossomed at first sight, a romance that was truly love at first bite. The star of "The Vampire Diaries" and his beloved, who have been an item for nearly three enchanting years, revealed they were embarking on the next exciting chapter of their journey after Paul got down on one knee during a dreamy romantic escapade in Italy.
On July 19th, Natalie posted on Instagram, accompanying a captivating black-and-white snapshot of her and Wesley intertwining fingers, with a dazzling ring adorning her finger, "Yes," she penned. "Always and forever." Her heartfelt declaration spoke volumes.
Paul, on his part, shared a casual selfie on his Instagram Stories, showcasing his new fiancée proudly displaying her left hand, flashing her oval-shaped engagement ring. He let the image do the talking, adding nothing more than a red heart emoji, understanding that a picture, indeed, is worth a thousand words.
Just days prior to popping the question, the actor of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" fame had shared snapshots from their European escapades, captioning several photos, "A beautiful time in Tuscany." Among the pictures was one where Natalie, 25, could be seen lounging serenely on a chair, to which she commented, "The best time!!"
The couple's new journey unfolds nearly three years after Paul, who was previously married to Torrey DeVitto from 2011 to 2013 and to Ines De Ramon from 2019 to 2022, sparked romance rumors with the model during a passionate and PDA-filled trip to Nerano, Italy.
Since then, the duo has occasionally offered glimpses into their enchanting romance. Earlier this year, Natalie penned a Valentine's Day tribute to Paul, "My best friend," she wrote. "My soulmate. My everything. Every day is Valentine's Day with you." She added, "Love you. Thank you for making me the happiest girl in the world."
As for the secret behind their unbreakable bond, it lies in their ability to make each other laugh endlessly. Last March, Paul gushed to People, "There are two people who are the funniest in my life—Number one, my dog, and number two, frankly, my girlfriend. I think the reason we get along so well is because all we do is laugh, and I believe it's one of the most crucial elements in a relationship."
