Ashley Greene and relationship
In September 2013, there were speculations that Paul Khoury was dating Ashley Greene, the actress from Twilight, despite the fact that at the same time, he was also connected to Miley Cyrus, the singer-songwriter, when the two were seen leaving a party together in a private vehicle. At the time, neither Khoury nor Greene directly addressed the rumors. In addition, Greene was perceived by the media as a serial dater who was not interested in a committed relationship with Khoury. They nevertheless kept spending time together, both in private and in public. To meet his mother’s family, Greene traveled back to New Zealand with Khoury in December 2016. He eventually asked her to marry him on December 29, 2013, while taking a romantic stroll at the base of the well-known Bridal Veil Falls, wearing an antique diamond engagement ring. She said yes to the proposal right away, and they both announced the news on Instagram shortly after.
Speaking to ‘People’ two months after getting engaged, Greene maintained that they were still “best friends” and that their relationship had not changed much. She acknowledged dating Khoury since 2013 in the same interview, complimenting him on his “extremely romantic” and talkative nature. In July 2017, she confirmed to ‘People’ once more that she and her partner were content with their engagement and had no plans to tie the knot. After a year, on July 8, 2018, the pair tied the knot in a black-tie ceremony at the Nestldown resort outside of San Jose, California. They exchanged self-written vows during the wedding. Arriving in a trolley, the bride and groom were greeted by roughly 120 guests at the rustic outdoor site. A-list personalities from the entertainment world, such as Liam Hemsworth, Zac Efron, Rob Pattinson, Brittany Snow, Lauren and Aaron Paul, and Evan and Ashlee Simpson-Ross, were present at the wedding ceremony. The newlyweds shared the monochromatic photobooth images from their wedding on Instagram following the ceremony.
