Paul Wesley has a new woman in his life.
Following his split from ex-wife Ines de Ramon, the Vampire Diaries actor was seen getting cozy with model Natalie Kuckenburg. In November, the two were spotted sharing a kiss and holding hands as they enjoyed a romantic dinner during a vacation in Italy.
After three years of marriage, Wesley and de Ramon first announced their separation in September in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE. "The decision to separate is mutual and occurred five months ago. They request privacy at this time," a rep for the couple said at the time.
While Wesley has moved on with Kuckenburg, de Ramon has recently been linked to Brad Pitt after they were photographed attending a Bono concert together. A source close to the Swiss industry tastemaker later told PEOPLE that she and Pitt "have been dating for a few months" and the actor is "really into" de Ramon.
From Kuckenburg's modeling background to her love of traveling, here's everything to know about Wesley's new girlfriend.
