Indian Express2 days ago
Hollywood star Paul Wesley is officially engaged. The Vampire Diaries actor, 42, popped the question to 25-year-old model Natalie Kuckenburg, who showed off her giant diamond ring on Instagram on July 19. She shared a black-and-white shot of them holding hands, with the oval-cut rock front and centre. The caption was simple and straight to the point: 'Yes 🤍 Always and forever.' Wesley and Natalie have reportedly been together since 2022. He was previously married to jewellery designer and executive Ines de Ramon.
Shortly after Natalie announced their engagement, Wesley also took to Instagram to share yet another cosy snap of the duo on his stories, with her ring in full view. Just days before, the couple had been vacationing in Italy, first soaking in Tuscany and then heading to the Amalfi Coast, where they were spotted kissing. The actor had earlier shared multiple photos from their time together, calling it 'a beautiful time in Tuscany.' Natalie commented: 'The best time!!'

As we speak of their budding romance, this isn't their first time in Italy. The two were first spotted together in November 2022, also in Italy, as they caught up over a romantic dinner in Nerano. They were photographed kissing, and after that, both of them posted pics from the same location, subtly confirming their dating speculations. Since then, the duo hasn't shied away from giving each other social media shoutouts. Back in February, Natalie posted a sweet Valentine's Day tribute calling Paul her 'best friend, soulmate, my everything.' Wesley reciprocated the feeling with a birthday post for her in June, saying, 'It's my favourite person's birthday.' Weasley spoke to PEOPLE in March 2024 and said laughter is what keeps their relationship strong: 'There are two people who are the funniest in my life, my dog and my girlfriend.' He added, 'All we do is laugh. That's probably the most important part of any relationship.'

Weasley was previously married twice. First, to actress Torrey DeVitto from 2011 to 2013. Then, he married Ines de Ramon in 2019. The ex-couple called it quits in 2022, with their divorce finalised in 2024. Ines is now dating Brad Pitt. Pitt and Ines have been together since late 2022 and recently stepped out at the British Grand Prix in July 2024, making their relationship official. They live together but aren't rushing into marriage, not anytime soon. Brad's long, messy divorce from Angelina Jolie was only finalised a few months ago, after over eight years of dragging on. A source told Page Six, 'He said he won't marry again. Never say never, but I'd be surprised if they do.' Apparently, Brad's in a much better place now. Emotionally steady. The relationship is solid and healthy.

He laughed and answered, 'Jis hisab ke unko diamond pasand hai, abhi meri aukaat nahi itna bada kharidne ki. Toh jis din uss layak banunga, inshallah zaroor. (The kind of diamonds she likes, I can not afford that right now. So the day I can afford it, god willing, I definitely will).'

Love Island USA's Cierra Ortega in talks for reunion appearance after controversial exit

Cierra Ortega , the former Love Island USA contestant removed from Season 7 following the resurfacing of a racial slur in her social media history, is now reportedly in discussions to make a dramatic return for the upcoming reunion special scheduled for August 25 on Peacock . This development comes after weeks of speculation about whether the reality star, whose abrupt exit drew national debate and intense criticism, would have any further involvement with the franchise.

'Cierra is pushing to be invited, but we haven't decided yet if she will be attending,' a production insider told the outlet. The source continued, 'She created controversy and some of us don't want to have her linked with the show ever again, but we still are discussing if she should come or not.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nvidia's AI Strategy Is Clear - But Is Wall Street Paying Attention? Seeking Alpha Read More Undo A second insider reinforced that, while Ortega's attendance is under consideration, no final decision has been made. Some participants have allegedly expressed discomfort about her possible return, while others are open to her attending, making it a deeply divided issue within production circles. Live Events Ortega, 25, was forced to leave the villa during the July 6 episode after an old Instagram story using a slur against the Asian community was widely circulated. The backlash included a petition with over 16,000 signatures demanding her removal. Upon her exit, Ortega posted a widely viewed apology video, stating, 'I am deeply, truly, honestly, so sorry. I had no idea that the word held as much pain, as much harm, and came with the history that it did, or I never would have used it. I had no ill intention … but that's absolutely no excuse, because intent doesn't excuse ignorance.' Multiple sources confirm that Ortega unsuccessfully tried to apologize to producers and the cast to keep her place in the villa. Production ultimately determined that an apology was insufficient given the seriousness of the issue. To date, no official reunion cast details have been released by Peacock or the network, and Cierra's possible inclusion remains undecided. Official sources and prior reports have suggested that Islanders involved in controversy were unlikely to be included in the reunion. However, the ongoing internal debate fueled by Ortega's own request to attend leaves the door open for a headline-making appearance. The Season 7 reunion, co-hosted by Andy Cohen and Ariana Madix , promises to bring back the show's finalists alongside 'fan-favorite' faces for first-hand updates and unresolved drama. Ortega, whose relationship with fellow contestant Nic Vansteenberghe dissolved amidst her exit, spoke candidly about the fallout on social media over the weekend, indicating that her Love Island journey—and its impact on her friendships—are far from resolved. The Season 7 reunion airs August 25 on Peacock.
