Shaun White and Nina Dobrev have decided to end their engagement and split after being together for five years. The decision was mutual and made with love and respect for each other. The couple was last seen together in Los Angeles on August 31, 2025, but Dobrev attended the Eternity premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival on September 7 without her engagement ring.
White and Dobrev first met in 2012 at an awards show but got to know each other better in 2019 at an event in Florida. They started dating in 2019 and moved in together during the COVID-19 pandemic. White praised Dobrev for being supportive and amazing during that time. The couple often shared glimpses of their life together on social media and attended events together, including White's fifth and final Winter Olympics in Beijing in 2022.
White hinted at a possible engagement to Dobrev before proposing to her in October 2024 during a surprise dinner in New York City. He presented her with a 5-carat diamond ring from Lorraine Schwartz. The couple shared the special moment on social media, with White expressing his joy at Dobrev saying yes.
The split between White and Dobrev marks the end of their relationship, which began with a chance encounter and blossomed into a five-year journey filled with love and support. While the decision to part ways was not easy, it was made with mutual respect and admiration for each other.
