Vampire Diaries graduate Paul Wesley, 41, and his girlfriend Natalie Kuckenburg, 23, stroll arm in arm during a romantic getaway in New York City

Paul Wesley and his girlfriend Natalie Kuckenburg were spotted lovingly walking arm in arm during a romantic getaway in New York City on Thursday.

The 41-year-old Vampire Diaries graduate, who officially filed for divorce from his wife Ines de Ramon six months earlier in February, stayed dry in the drizzly weather by holding up a large umbrella.

The actor wore simple dark blue pants and also opted for a black t-shirt and blue jacket, which he left unbuttoned.

He tucked a pair of sunglasses into the shirt’s neckline and slipped on a pair of white sneakers that tied with laces. For the finishing touch, the star donned a tan beanie that partially covered his tresses.

The 23-year-old model – with whom he first began romantically in November 2022 – showed off her chic sense of style as the couple shared quality time together.

She appeared long-legged and wore a simple black mini dress, the hem of which ended just a few centimeters above her knees.

The beauty paired her ensemble with a navy pinstripe blazer and slipped on a pair of Converse trainers to stay comfortable while strolling around the Big Apple.

Her brunette tresses were pulled back into a simple ponytail to keep loose strands from falling on her face.

Natalie accessorized her outfit with a pair of dainty earrings and gold necklaces. She wore stylish sunglasses on her head in case the sun poked through the thick layer of clouds.

The model wrapped her arm around Wesley’s arm and the couple shared happy smiles on their faces as they engaged in a light-hearted chat.

After beginning a romantic relationship in late November last year, the Tell Me A Story star and Kuckenburg spent the holiday season together in NYC.

The two have been stopped at various public appearances together, such as attending the Cancer Research Fund’s “An Evening to Remember” benefit gala in Beverly Hills in March.

Paul and Natalie put on a stunning show as they posed on the red carpet at the star-studded event.

The couple were also spotted having a blast in St Tropez with pals Liam Payne and Kate Cassidy to celebrate Paul’s 41st birthday.

In September 2022, just two months before hooking up with Natalie, Paul and then-wife Ines de Ramon officially split after three years of marriage.

A rep for the Hollywood actor confirmed the news at the time that the two had decided to go their separate ways.

“The decision to separate is based on mutual consent and was made five months ago.” “You are asking for privacy at this time,” the rep explained People.

A month earlier, in August, Paul was spotted at the Brothers Bond Bourbon event in New York City, but his wedding ring appeared to be missing, it was reported Us weekly.

In February this year, both the jewelry designer and the actor officially filed for divorce in Los Angeles, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

Paul was previously married to fellow actress Torrey DeVitto from 2011 until their divorce in 2013.

While Wesley has moved on, his ex-wife Ines has also pursued a budding romance with Brad Pitt. The new couple also first became romantically involved in November 2022 when they attended a Bono concert together.

At the time, a source told DailyMail.com that the couple had “been dating for a few months” and that “Brad is really into Ines.” “They met through a mutual friend. She is very nice.’

Last month in July, another insider said People that Brad and Ines are still “very strong”.

“The two have been spending a lot of time together this summer as they really enjoy each other’s company and are very much in love,” the source explained, adding, “Anyone who sees them together can tell.”

Earlier this week, Ines went out to run some errands and was spotted wearing a ‘B’ necklace, possibly a nod to the initial of Brad’s name.

The Bullet Train actor was previously married to Angelina Jolie until they filed for divorce in 2016. Three years later, in April 2019, the court officially declared that both were legally single.
