The couple tied the knot in an intimate civil ceremony. It was Natalie who announced the news on Instagram on July 13, 2026. For the unversed, the pair crossed paths at a New York City bar. Later, they got engaged in July 2025. Amid this, people have shown interest in knowing more about Paul’s wife, Natalie Kuckenberg. Well, we’ve got you covered.
Who is Paul Wesley's wife, Natalie Kuckenberg?
Paul Wesley's wife, Natalie Kuckenberg, is a German-Brazilian model. She was born in Hanover, Germany. At the age of 13, Natalie began her modelling career when she was signed by an agency in São Paulo. She has since appeared in many fashion editorials and on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Brasil. She has a social media presence of 313k followers on Instagram.
According to her Instagram bio, Natalie is the founder of Nareia, a clothing brand. She is an ambassador of Africraft NGO and Binti Project. A while back, Natalie announced the news on her Instagram handle of becoming the ambassador of Binti Project. She wrote:
"I’m so happy to share that I’m now a proud ambassador for the Binti Project. The Binti Project helps keep young girls in Tanzania in school by providing menstrual products and education, giving them the opportunity to continue learning and building their futures. I’ve created a GoFundMe to help raise funds for more Binti Kits, and I’ll be sharing the link in my story. If you’re able to donate or simply share it, it would truly mean the world to me. Every bit of support makes a difference. Thank you."
While Natalie looks pretty confident and is bold enough to speak her mind, in her childhood she was the exact opposite. However, it was her mom who encouraged her to be brave and confident as she pursued her dreams. That piece of advice from her mom changed Natalie’s life forever. Speaking about the following, in a 2025 interview with Marie Claire International, Natalie said:
"I was very shy, but she told me to overcome my shyness if I wanted to succeed and pursue what I wanted. I don’t consider myself famous...I’m still who I’ve always been."
Paul Wesley and Natalie Kuckenberg's love story
Natalie and Paul were first romantically linked in November 2022. But a month before the announcement of Paul and his second wife, Ines de Ramon’s divorce, Paul and Natalie were photographed in New York. At the time, Natalie was in her 20s, and Paul was in his 40s. In 2024, Paul and Ines de Ramon’s divorce got finalised, and he moved on with Natalie. Speaking on LIVE with Kelly and Mark, Paul recounted the moment when he met Natalie at a bar in New York City’s East Village. He said:
"That’s rare these days, I guess, because everyone’s, you know, meeting online and all these dating apps. It was just like the classic, pretty girl at a bar. There was a little look, and I was like, 'Okay, I’m gonna go for it.'"
Cut to 2025, on Valentine’s Day, Natalie took to her Instagram handle to share some cosy pictures of hers and Paul. She penned a note along with the carousel. She wrote, "My best friend, my soulmate, my everything. Every day is Valentine’s Day with you. Love you @paulwesley. Thank you for making me the happiest girl in the world!" In the same year, in July 2025, the couple announced their engagement. Sharing a monochrome picture in which Natalie flaunted her diamond engagement ring, the model wrote, "Yes. Always and forever."
Congratulations to the newlyweds, Paul Wesley and Natalie Kuckenberg.
