'The Vampire Diaries' Star Paul Wesley Secretly Marries 26-Year-Old Model

Paul Wesley, best known for playing Stefan Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries, has officially married model Natalie Kuckenburg. The couple exchanged vows in an intimate outdoor ceremony, with their beloved dog taking on the special role of honorary wedding witness.

The happy news was shared by 26-year-old Kuckenburg on Instagram, where she posted a series of wedding photos captioned, "Mr. & Mrs. ... and the best boy Greg."

The ceremony took place outdoors beneath palm trees. Photos show the newlyweds exchanging vows, holding hands, and sharing a kiss, while their dog Greg sat beside them, stealing the spotlight as one of the day's most memorable guests.

For the occasion, the bride wore a minimalist ivory gown by Galia Lahav, while the 43-year-old actor opted for a navy suit paired with a black tie.

Wesley proposed to Kuckenburg last summer during a trip to Italy's Amalfi Coast, the same place where they had their first date several years earlier. The actor later revealed that he deliberately returned to that special location to propose. Although Natalie suspected what was coming, she was still moved to tears.

Romance rumors first emerged in 2022 after the couple were spotted together in Italy. Wesley later revealed that they had met in the most traditional way possible—at a bar in New York City.

This marks Wesley's third marriage. He was previously married to actresses Torrey DeVitto and Ines de Ramon, who is now in a relationship with Brad Pitt.
