The engagement between Olympic snowboarder Shaun White and actress Nina Dobrev has come to an unexpected end, as per a report. After five years together, the couple has reportedly called their relationship off, closing a chapter that fans had eagerly followed from the beginning.
Nina Dobrev and Shaun White reportedly split after five years of relationship
According to People, the split was confirmed by a source close to Nina Dobrev and Shaun White, who emphasized that the decision was mutual and made with “love and deep respect.” While the two had recently been spotted together in Los Angeles on August 31, Dobrev’s solo appearance at the Eternity premiere in Toronto on September 7 — without her engagement ring — fueled breakup rumors. The actress has also unpinned her October 2024 engagement post from Instagram, which fans immediately noticed.
White and Dobrev’s story began long before they started dating. The duo first met at a 2012 awards show, but it wasn’t until 2019 that they connected after being invited as speakers at a Tony Robbins event in Florida. A dinner following the event led to a friendship that quickly turned into romance.
Nina Dobrev and Shaun White officially confirmed their relationship in May 2020. They began living together at the start of the pandemic, a time White later described as transformative, crediting Dobrev for making those challenging months “special.”
Throughout their five-year relationship, the two were often seen on red carpets, at music festivals like Coachella, and traveling together around the world. Dobrev stood by White during his final Winter Olympics in Beijing in 2022, where he competed for the last time after a decorated career. White often spoke of Dobrev’s unwavering support, calling her a “lifesaver” during some of his most demanding years.
At the end, White proposed in a grand gesture in October 2024 at New York City’s The Golden Swan, tricking Dobrev into thinking they were attending a CFDA/Vogue event. Now, while fans hoped wedding bells were on the horizon, Nina Dobrev and Shaun White have reportedly split.
