Paul and Natalie were first seen together in November 2022.
In a 2024 interview, the Smallville actor gushed that one of the "most important things" about their relationship is their ability to make each other laugh often.
He told PEOPLE: "There's two people that are the funniest people in my life - 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's engagement comes just over a year after his divorce from Ines de Ramon, 32, was finalised.
The actor announced in September 2022 that he had split from his spouse earlier that year, and cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for ending their three-year union.
Jewellery executive Ines has also moved on - with Hollywood star Brad Pitt, 61.

Pamela Anderson, reportedly dating Liam Neeson, says he puts her at ease during The Naked Gun filming, Entertainment News
Pamela Anderson has hailed Liam Neeson for putting her at ease during the filming of The Naked Gun reboot. The former Baywatch actress, 58, has been widely reported to be in a relationship with Schindler's List star Liam, 73, and she has now spoken to the New York Times to praise her co-star him for helping ease her nerves as they shot the cop comedy reboot. She said: "He has so much charm and so much charisma that you kind of just fall into it. "I can't explain it because I've never experienced it before." The new Naked Gun film marks a reboot of the classic American crime spoof franchise originally made famous by Leslie Nielsen. Liam takes on the lead role as detective Frank Drebin Jr, while Pamela plays his love interest, Beth — a woman convinced her brother has been murdered, launching the pair on an absurd adventure across Los Angeles. Pamela added she "still felt unsure of herself at times during filming", but said Liam's calm presence on set kept her grounded. She said he told her "You're doing great" during shooting. Pamela added: "To do comedy, it gives you a lot of energy when you're in something so joyful and silly. Liam has done over 100 movies, and I hope he's inspired to do even more (comedies.)" Liam, known for dramatic and action-heavy roles in the likes of Taken and Batman Begins, also admitted to having doubts about leading a comedy. He told the New York Times: "I don't think of myself as funny-funny, but I love laughing and gagging about." Reflecting on his performance, he added: "I thought I was OK, seriously. I thought I was OK." The Naked Gun franchise began in 1982 with the TV series Police Squad! and expanded into three successful films. A source close to the production has told People Pamela and Liam are "in the early stages" of a relationship, calling it "a budding romance". The insider added: "It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other." Pamela and Liam pair are currently promoting the film and, according to the source, are "enjoying each other's company" off-screen during the promotional tour. [embed] [[nid:720829]]

Lindsay Lohan on why living in Dubai is better than Hollywood, Entertainment News
Lindsay Lohan lives "a very normal life" in Dubai. The 39-year-old actress has revealed that she enjoys the relative anonymity that she's able to enjoy in the city. Lindsay — who moved to Dubai back in 2014 — said on Live with Kelly and Mark: "It's just far away from Hollywood, and I live a very normal life. "There's no worry of like, I can't go eat at this place 'cause someone's gonna take a picture of my son.' And it's just ... I feel very safe." Lindsay loves that her family can enjoy quality time together without being bothered. The actress — who has son Luai, two, with Bader Shammas — said: "You can't take a picture of someone else if you're in a restaurant. You have to ask the person, which is a big difference from here." Meanwhile, Jamie Lee Curtis recently admitted that she felt "tremendous maternal care" for Lindsay after they starred together in Freaky Friday. The 66-year-old actress starred alongside Lindsay in the 2003 comedy movie, and Jamie admits that she developed a close bond with her co-star at the time. She told the Guardian newspaper: "I felt tremendous maternal care for Lindsay after the first movie and continued to feel that. "When she comes to Los Angeles, I would see her. She and I have remained friends, and now we're sort of colleagues. I feel less maternal towards her because she's a mommy now herself and doesn't need my maternal care, and has, obviously, a mom — Dina's a terrific grandma." Jamie insists that Lindsay doesn't need any life advice from her. The actress said: "I'm bossy, very bossy, but I try to mind my own business. She doesn't need my advice. She's a fully functioning, smart woman, creative person. Privately, she's asked me questions, but nothing that's more than an older friend you might ask." The celebrity duo has reunited to star in Freakier Friday, the sequel to their 2003 movie, and Lindsay has claimed that she's now "wiser" and more "settled" than ever before. The actress recently told People: "I'm at ease in my life because I've lived, I feel like, such a long life at such a young age. I feel wiser now and very settled. I've become such a positive person." [[nid:720816]]

How Did Paul Mario Day Die? Iron Maiden Legend Dies Aged 69 as Tributes Pour in for Heavy Metal Band's Original Lead Singer
Tributes are pouring in for a legendary figure in heavy metal after his death at the age of 69. Paul Mario Day, the original lead singer of Iron Maiden, has died, the band confirmed. The news was shared online by the band More, which he joined after his early days with Iron Maiden during their formation in the mid-1970s. Iron Maiden was a major force in the 1970s music scene known as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) and has several hits to its credit. They shared the stage with other bands from the movement at various festivals, including a recurring annual event held at Donington in Leicestershire. Death of a Legend Paul Mario Day X Announcing Day's death, More wrote, "We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the great MORE vocalist Paul Mario Day. Paul was a huge part of the [New Wave of British Heavy Metal] from his time in an early version of Iron Maiden and of course his fantastic performance on the "Warhead" album." "He was a well loved figure in British rock music and played many memorable shows not least the legendary 1981 Monsters of Rock show at Castle Donington with AC/DC, Whitesnake/David Coverdale as well as tours with Iron Maiden Def Leppard and many other legendary artists. "Mike Freeland remembers him fondly as a 'bloody great vocalist!' "It's an honour for us to continue to play his music and we will always think of him every time we hit the opening notes to 'Warhead'. We send our deepest condolences to Paul's family and friends and also the many fans around the world who love his music. "Play his music loud and sing along! Thank you. Rock in peace Paul." An Eventful Career Paul Mario Day X Bassist Steve Harris brought Day into Iron Maiden in late 1975. The band played their debut live show on May 1, 1976, in Poplar, London, and later secured a regular gig at a pub in nearby Stratford. Day stayed with Iron Maiden for about 10 months but left after being criticized for not having enough stage presence and energy. His successor, Dennis Wilcock, also had a brief stint before being replaced by Paul Di'Anno. Di'Anno was eventually replaced due to issues with drugs and alcohol and was succeeded by Bruce Dickinson, who went on to become the band's longtime frontman. In 2019, Day said of his firing: "Steve was saying, 'You've got to get better. You've got to be more in the audience's face. You've got to be commanding. You've got to be a hero.' And I agreed with him, but I didn't actually know how to make that happen. "I got a warning for maybe three months: 'Get it together. Get it together.' And I wanted to, I just didn't know how to do it. So the funny thing is, the worst experience was the best lesson because when I got that notice and I felt so gutted, it changed me. "Iron Maiden at that time were nothing, honestly ... What Steve was doing was trying to make the band big. He knew what he wanted. What he wanted is what he got. He got one of the biggest bands on the planet. As much as it hurt, as much as it upset me, I learnt a big lesson that day. I really did. I used that emotion, I guess, in my singing." In 1980, Paul Mario Day founded the heavy metal band More and stayed with them until 1982. The group performed at the renowned Monsters of Rock festival at Donington in 1981.
