Actress Nina Dobrev and Olympian Shaun White are officially engaged after five years together. The couple announced the news with photos posted to Instagram and a Vogue article detailing the engagement plans. White told the magazine that he had originally planned to propose this summer, but changed his mind after Dobrev got into a dirt biking accident. Then he wanted to propose in Cape Town, South Africa in November, but scrapped that when Dobrev grew suspicious of his plans. Finally he settled on a restaurant in New York—until Dobrev said she felt under the weather and didn’t want to go.
So he crafted a fake invitation to a Vogue dinner with Anna Wintour. But instead of Anna, it was White at the restaurant. “I went into shock. I just froze and stared at him,” Dobrev told Vogue. Dobrev and White first met at a workshop organized by businessman Tony Robbins in 2019. They announced their relationship on Instagram in May 2020, and have been together ever since.
