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.

Bride and Groom Honor Their Dog, 19, at Wedding Before Putting Him Down: 'He's Going to Go to Heaven'
Libbee and Ryan Dyer celebrated a new chapter of life while honoring their senior dog, Jack, on their wedding day. A sentimental video shared to Instagram began with the bride sharing that Jack, who was 19 at the time, was spending his final days surrounded by loved ones at their nuptials. "He's going to go to heaven on Monday ... this weekend, as much as it's out celebration, it's a celebration for Jack as well, so everyone we love can say goodbye to him,' Libbee Dyer said in the video. 'I feel like he's touched a part of everyone's lives in his 19 years," she added. Libbee Dyer shared a few travel memories with Jack before the video panned to Ryan Dyer emotionally mentioning that their "trio was about to become a duo." The video, which has amassed over 3 million views since its release on April 24, brought users to tears. 'Another beautiful day to cry over strangers on the internet again,' one user said. 'I'm so sorry for your loss and what a beautiful thing to do to honor him on your special day. I can tell he was as special as the day was,' another user said. In an interview with wedding videographer Jamie Ross (@jamierossweddings), who captured the story, explains his original thought process on highlighting Jack's life. 'As someone who tends to stay fairly stoic while working, I usually try not to let emotional stories affect me too much so I can stay focused,' Ross explains. 'But as a dog lover, this one really hit me. That was my cue that this was the kind of heartwarming story that deserved to be told,' he continues. Ryan and Libbee Dyer tell that two weeks before their wedding, they made the decision to let Jack rest after the occasion. This allowed them to have quality time with him and let family members say their goodbyes on the wedding day. 'I had his bed behind us at the wedding for the dinner, so he had a bit of the entrée, a bit of dessert, a bit of the main (course),' Ryan Dyer says. 'Everyone got to go up to him and say their goodbyes, or give him a pat, give him a treat. He got all the attention during the cocktail hour, which he loved,' he adds. Ryan Dyer says he was 12 when Jack came into his life. His parents had gifted him and his sister two puppies, and Ryan Dyer got 8-week-old Jack. "I still remember they drove up into the driveway and Jack's head was above the car window," Ryan Dyer adds. Ryan Dyer and Jack went on to become a happy family of three with Libbee Dyer, and they shared adventures of traveling across Australia. Libbee Dyer recalls Ross asking her to share a few words about Jack during their wedding, but "completely forgot" about the ask until the day the video went up on social media. 'As a wedding filmmaker, I believe my role is to preserve not just the big moments, but the emotions and memories that fade with time,' Ross says. 'Hearing the story directly from Libbee gave it an extra layer of intimacy. It made it like a time capsule for how she felt in that exact moment,' the videographer notes. The couple says they are shocked by the virality of the video, and that the online reaction has been heartwarming to them. 'Jake was the center of our universe, and it felt really fitting that now almost 4 million people have seen how special he was,' Libbee Dyer says. For Ross, he says that capturing Jack has shifted the way he approaches wedding days to capture true emotion. 'It's not just about capturing what the day looked like, but about preserving how it felt,' he notes. 'My priority isn't no longer making the film look like a movie. It's about capturing precious moments that will one day mean everything to a couple." This article was originally published on Solve the daily Crossword

Rupert Everett claims he was 'fired' from Emily in Paris
Rupert Everett was "in bed for two weeks" because he "couldn't get over" being allegedly "fired" from Emily in Paris. The 66-year-old actor played interior designer Giorgio Barbieri, who reunites with his old pal Sylvie Grateau (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) - boss of Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) - when she looks for a new office in Rome, Italy, in the season four finale of the hit Netflix comedy-drama series. However, Rupert will not appear in the upcoming fifth season of Emily in Paris - which will pick up Emily's adventures in Rome, Italy, and Paris, and has been in production since May 2025 - because he claims he was dropped without explanation. He told Vanity Fair Italia: "I did a scene in the latest season, and they told me, 'Next year we'll speak.' "I waited for them to call me—but ultimately, it never came, and they just fired me. Show business is always very difficult, from the beginning to the end. "When they write the screenplay, they think they want you—but then things change, and they lose your character. I don't know why. "For me, it was a tragedy. I was in bed for two weeks because I couldn't get over it." Vanity Fair reported "a source close to the production" said Rupert "was hired as a guest star, and his character's story came to a conclusion". Camille Razat, 31, who played Gabriel's (Lucas Bravo) on-off girlfriend Camille deLaliss, is not reprising her role either. Captioning a photo carousel of her with castmates, including Lily, Ashley Park (Mindy Chen) and Lucas, she wrote on Instagram on April 23: "After an incredible journey, I've made the decision to step away from Emily in Paris. "It has been a truly wonderful experience, one filled with growth, creativity, and unforgettable memories. "I'm deeply grateful to @starmandarren and the entire team at @netflix and @paramountpics for their trust and for giving me the opportunity to bring Camille to life and leaving the door open for her return, as she will always be a part of Emily In Paris world." The star felt her Emily in Paris alter ego's storyline had naturally ended. She continued: "This character has meant a lot to me, and I feel that her storyline has naturally come to an end. It felt like the right moment to explore new horizons. "I've recently wrapped two series: Nero for Netflix and the Lost Station girls for Disney+. I'm also excited to share that I've launched my own production company, @tazar_production. We mainly produce music videos and short films for now, but we're currently developing our first feature film, something I'm truly passionate about and excited to grow." And Camille does not have any hard feelings with any of the people who work on Emily in Paris. She concluded her caption with: "I leave the show with nothing but love and admiration for the cast, crew, and fans who have supported us along the way. "Thank you for the beautiful ride." A release date for season five remains unknown.

Rupert Everett 'fired' from Emily in Paris
Rupert Everett has claimed he was "fired" from Emily in Paris. The actor will not be appearing in the fifth season of the hit Netflix series and claimed he spent "weeks" in bed after learning he'd been "fired". "I was fired," he told Vanity Fair Italia at the Marateale Film Festival in Italy. Rupert, 66, who played Italian interior designer Giorgio Barbieri in a single episode of the show's fourth season, explained he had hoped his character would return for a bigger role in season five, but it was not to be. "I did a scene in the latest season, and they told me, 'Next year we'll speak,'" he said. "I waited for them to call me - but ultimately, it never came, and they just fired me." Reflecting on the impermanent nature of the entertainment industry, Rupert admitted he had struggled emotionally with the lack of interest from the Emily in Paris production team. "Show business is always very difficult, from the beginning to the end. When they write the screenplay, they think they want you - but then things change, and they lose your character. I don't know why," he shared. "For me, it was a tragedy. I was in bed for two weeks because I couldn't get over it."
