Paul Wesley and Girlfriend Natalie Kuckenburg on Yacht Vacation in Italy: Photos

Paul Wesley and girlfriend Natalie watchburg are enjoying a beautiful day on the water.

The Vampire Diaries actor, 42, and model, 25, were spotted soaking up the sun on the Amalfi Coast on Thursday, July 17. During their outing, Kuckenburg sported a short black dress while Wesley wore a white tank top underneath a short-sleeve shirt with dark pants and black ball cap.

The couple, who were first spotted together in 2022spent the day on a luxury yacht in the Italian waters. The duo spent time sun-bathing on the deck and sharing a laugh surrounded by the beautiful landscape.

At one point, the actor and model stripped down to go paddle boarding. They showed off their toned physiques: Wesley wearing blue swim shorts and Kuckenburg in a white bikini.

Back on land, the lovebirds shared a kiss while dining at the famous Lo Scoglio restaurant for lunch.

Earlier this week, both the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds actor and his girlfriend shared photos from their Italian vacation to Instagram.

“Had the best time at @belmondcastellodicasole with my love @paulwesley,” Kuckenburg wrote in a July 16 post. In the carousel, the 25-year-old shared an adorable selfie with Wesley outside the rustic facade of the Castello di Casole hotel in Tuscany.

Wesley’s post from the same day featured photos of Italy’s rolling hills and charming vineyards.

This isn’t the first time the couple were spotted together on a luxury vacation. In July 2023, the pair spent time with the late Liam Payne and his girlfriend Kate Cassidy on a luxury yacht in Saint-Tropez. The famous friends came together to celebrate Wesley’s 41st birthday.

Though it’s unclear when Wesley and Kuckenburg officially started dating, they were first linked in November 2022 as they enjoyed a dinner date in Nerano, Italy. After a photographer caught them kissing, they both posted photos from the same location on their Instagram accounts shortly after.

Last year, the actor opened up to PEOPLE about his relationship. Wesley explained life with Kuckenburg is full of laughter.

“There’s two people that are the funniest people in my life — Number one, my dog, and number two, frankly, my girlfriend,” he said at the Garden of Laughs event at The Theater at Madison Square Park in March 2024.

“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 jewelry designer Ines de Ramon. A representative for the couple confirmed to PEOPLE in September 2022 they were no longer together. The divorce was finalized in 2024 after five years of marriage. De Ramon is currently in a relationship with Brad Pitt.
