The Vampire Diaries star was first spotted with model Natalie Kuckenburg while on vacation in Italy in November 2022.

The actor was formerly married to Ines de Ramon for three years. The pair announced their separation in September 2022 and she has since moved on with Brad Pitt.

Per her Instagram, Kuckenburg is signed with Elite Model Management. In addition to appearing in magazines, she has also walked the runway for various fashion events, including her first N.Y.C. fashion show in September 2022.

She's Brazilian and German

Kuckenburg is of Brazilian and German descent, usually tagging her posts with the hashtags, "#germanmodel" and "#brazilianmodel." She often pays tribute to her roots on Instagram, including giving sweet glimpses of her family as she visits Berlin.

In November 2019, she excitedly marked her very first magazine cover for Harper's Bazaar Brasil. "So happy to be in a Brazilian magazine for my first cover!" she wrote at the time, adding, "Thank you so much @bazaarbr and all the involved!"
