Paul Wesley engaged to model Natalie Kuckenburg
The Vampire Diaries star asked the model to marry him, and she announced the news on Instagram on Saturday.
Kuckenburg's ring was front and centre in the post, which included a black-and-white snap of her and Wesley holding hands.
"Yes," she captioned the close-up shot of her oval-cut sparkler. "Always and forever."
Wesley marked the moment by sharing a photograph of himself and Kuckenburg posing close together.
On Thursday last week, the pair was spotted soaking up the sun - and sharing a kiss - in Italy, on the Amalfi Coast.
"A beautiful time in Tuscany," the Star Trek star wrote alongside a holiday post.
Wesley and Kuckenburg were first spotted together on holiday in Italy in November 2022.
"There are two people that are the funniest people in my life," he told People magazine last year. "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 think it's probably one of the most important things in a relationship."
Wesley was previously married to Brad Pitt's current squeeze, Ines de Ramon. The former couple split in 2022, and their divorce was finalised in 2024.

Diogo Jota's wife posts ‘forever' tribute to mark one month since wedding
Rute Cardoso, the wife of Diogo Jota, has paid tribute to her late husband, marking a month since the couple got married. Liverpool and Portugal star Jota died in a car crash in Spain on July 3 at the age of 28 along with his 25-year-old brother André Silva – who was also a professional footballer. In a post on Instagram, Cardoso shared photographs from their wedding day on June 22, along with an emotional message. '1 month since our 'til death do us part,'' she said Tuesday, adding she was 'forever' his. Jota married his long-term partner Cardoso less than two weeks before the crash. The couple had three children together. The soccer world has rallied behind the family since Jota's death. His funeral was attended by many current players, including Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Portugal star Rúben Neves. Cardoso was pictured embracing other mourners as she arrived at the church ahead of the ceremony on July 5. Liverpool, the team Jota was playing for before his death, has since retired his No. 20 shirt. A mural of the star has also been painted on a wall in the city. Jota was a vital part of Liverpool's recent success, lifting the Premier League trophy at the end of last season. He was also part of the Portugal national team which won the Nations League in June this year, having also won the competition in 2019. CNN's Aleks Klosok contributed to this report.

Lemony Snicket's Anti-Summer Summer Reading List
It's summertime, and the living is queasy. People are sweatier, the weather is sweltering and everywhere one looks, from campfires to barbecues, the air is thick with the discomfiting patina of enforced fun. Those of us who wince at the sound of giddy laughter, who find frolicking wearisome and who desperately search picnic baskets for a cocktail know exactly what to do when June lurches into view: Hide indoors with a pile of books until the autumnal chill arrives. Here are some suggestions for this wretchedly cheerful time of year. The Bears' Famous Invasion of Sicily It is difficult for me to begin any list of books without my favorite book in the world. The best literature lives in a space of endless possibility, and this novel (in prose and verse) starts with a gallery of characters that includes a portrait of a werewolf who 'may not appear in our story … but one never knows.' If the magic wands, sea serpents and gambling dens fail to amuse you, perhaps you will find the king who allows his personal obsessions to overwhelm his civic responsibilities somehow relevant in this day and age. The moments I love most are when the author, Buzzati, takes issue with the illustrations, which are by Buzzati. (Ages 8 to 12) Leo: A Ghost Story 'This is Leo. Most people cannot see him.' The opening lines of this picture book — written by Barnett, our new national ambassador for young people's literature — give us a much-needed shiver on these unbearably hot days, and Robinson's cool-blue paintings keep the temperature just right inside, where a ghost tries his best to get along with new, living housemates. I'm not much for handing out literary prizes, but 'Leo' wins the silver medal in the Best Children's Book Containing Robbers category. (Ages 3 to 6) And the gold goes to … Want all of The Times?
