Nearly three years after his split from Ines de Ramon, Paul Wesley is officially married again. While some celerity weddings take months of planning to make them perfect, the couple only took 24 hours.

On Monday, 26-year-old model Natalie Kuckenburg revealed that she and the 43-year-old tied the knot in an intimate civil ceremony, sharing a series of photos from the outdoor celebration on Instagram.

"Mr. and Mrs. 💍 and the Best Boy Greg 🐾," she captioned the post, referring to the couple's dog, who had the very important role of "Best Boy."

On Tuesday, she shared another gallery, revealing details in the caption. "We decided to get married 24 hours prior to the wedding," she wrote. She shared a video of her trying to find a dress that fit "perfectly."

For the ceremony, Kuckenburg wore Galia Lahav's ivory ready-to-wear "Lilou" dress, while Wesley opted for a navy suit with a black tie. 

They revealed that they drove to San Ysidro Ranch, where she woke up at 7 am for hair and makeup, and in just an hour, they were tying the knot at 8 am at the courthouse.  "So worth it and so fun!" she wrote in the caption.

The low-key wedding marks a full-circle moment for Wesley, whose divorce from jewelry executive de Ramon was finalized in 2024 after the pair quietly separated in 2022.

The former couple had married in a private ceremony in 2019 and were together for about five years before announcing they had been living separately for several months. 

Their representatives later described the decision as mutual, saying they remained committed to moving forward amicably.

Since then, they've both moved on. De Ramon's relationship with Brad Pitt quickly became one of Hollywood's most talked-about romances. They live together, travel together, and seem to be each other's biggest rocks. Although it has been heavily reported that Pitt has no desire to marry again.

For Wesley, the next chapter arrived with Kuckenburg. The couple was first linked in November 2022 after they were photographed enjoying a romantic trip to Italy. Although many assumed their relationship began overseas, Wesley later revealed the two actually met the old-fashioned way at a New York City bar through mutual friends.

"I was like, 'Okay, I'm gonna go for it,'" he recalled during an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, calling it a refreshing change from dating apps.

In July 2025, the pair announced their engagement after Wesley proposed at the same Amalfi Coast hotel where they had shared one of their first trips together. Natalie simply captioned the announcement, "Yes 🤍. Always and forever."

Months later, Wesley revealed she had suspected the proposal was coming but was still overwhelmed by the moment. "It was a surprise," he said. "She still broke down in tears."
