Actor Paul Wesley Marries Model Natalie Kuckenburg

Actor Paul Wesley, best known for his role as Stefan Salvatore on "The Vampire Diaries," has married model Natalie Kuckenburg. The couple, who have been together for nearly four years, shared the news on Monday, July 13, 2026, by posting photographs from their intimate outdoor ceremony.

The images, shared on social media, showed the newlyweds sharing a kiss with their dog, Greg, seated beside them. Kuckenburg, 26, captioned the post "Mr. and Mrs." and referred to their pet as the "Best Boy Greg." For the occasion, Wesley, 43, wore a navy suit with a black tie, while Kuckenburg chose an ivory Lilou gown from designer Galia Lahav's ready-to-wear collection. The designer described the wedding as chic, elegant, and personal, noting it was exactly the kind of event the dress was made for.

The marriage marks a significant step in their relationship, which began publicly in late 2022 when they were photographed together on a holiday in Italy. Wesley proposed to Kuckenburg in the summer of 2025 during a trip to Italy's Amalfi Coast, a location they have described as holding special meaning as the site of one of their earliest trips together. They announced their engagement in July 2025.
