The Vampire Diaries actor Paul Wesley is engaged to his girlfriend, model Natalie Kuckenburg. The couple chose to share the news in a quiet yet elegant way. Rather than opting for a public announcement or a red carpet debut, the news came through a black-and-white photo posted on Instagram and a close-up of their hands, with Kuckenburg's engagement ring clearly on display.
She kept the caption short but meaningful, 'Yes. Always and forever." It quickly drew an outpouring of congratulatory messages from fans and friends alike.

The couple, who have been linked since at least late 2022, recently travelled through Italy, visiting Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast. Wesley, 41, described the vacation on Instagram as 'a beautiful time," while 25-year-old Kuckenburg added in the comments, 'The best time!!" The trip turned out to be more than just a summer getaway as it became the setting for their engagement.
Their relationship first sparked public interest when they were seen dining together in Italy in late 2022. Since then, the couple has kept things relatively low-profile, occasionally appearing in each other's social media posts. In February, Kuckenburg called Wesley her 'soulmate" in a Valentine's Day post, to which Wesley responded with heart emojis. More recently, he referred to her as his 'favorite person" in a birthday tribute shared in June.
Despite their celebrity status, the pair has stayed private. In an interview with People earlier this year, Wesley spoke about what makes their relationship work. 'All we do is laugh. It is the most important thing, honestly," he said.
Wesley was previously married to Ines de Ramon. Their divorce was finalized in early 2024. While no wedding date has been revealed yet, fans of the couple can likely expect an intimate ceremony.

Miley Cyrus says she has no 'desire' to go on tour; heres why
Los Angeles [US], July 20 (ANI): Miley Cyrus shared that she doesn't want to go on a tour anytime soon. The 'Something Beautiful' singer, who previously toured in 2014 for her album, 'Bangerz,' has said that she wants to prioritise her mental health. During an interview with Good Morning America, Miley said, "I do have the physical ability and I have the opportunity to tour. I wish I had the desire, but I don't," as quoted by People. The singer then added that she believes there is no proper infrastructure to support artists. "There are artists like Prince who are not here today, who lived such a high-intensity lifestyle on the road. It's really hard to maintain sobriety on the road, which is a really important pillar of stability in my life," she added. Miley also emphasised that it is important for her to maintain her "mental wellness," which she believes gets difficult to balance when on tour. "You have so many thousands of people screaming at you, so dopamine -- you're feeling a lot of love -- and then you totally crash at the end of the show. You start thinking that one person loving you is not enough. It needs to be 10,000, it needs to be 80,000," Miley added. This is not the first time that the singer has voiced her thoughts on touring. In 2023, Miley, in response to backlash, explained that she has tried to create and innovate new ways to stay connected to the audience. "This has nothing to do with a lack of appreciation for the fans & everything to do with I simply don't want to get ready in a locker room. Which is the reality of life on the road. These looks I've been turning don't travel well. The archival looks don't fold. I just don't want to sleep on a moving bus. It isn't what's best for me right NOW," a part of her X post read. In May this year, Miley Cyrus released her ninth studio album, 'Something Beautiful.' It was accompanied by a complete visual film that premiered at the Tribeca Festival on June 6, 2025. (ANI)
