Elena Gilbert may have found her happiness with Damon, but in real life, «Vampire Diaries» star Nina Dobrev wants to spend the rest of her life with Shaun White. The 35-year-old actress is engaged to the 38-year-old Olympic snowboarder, as the couple revealed in an interview for Vogue published on Wednesday, October 30.
Recalling how Shaun carefully planned his proposal, Nina shared that he popped the question earlier this month.
«He said all the right things», - Nina said, while Shaun admired how «nervous» she seemed as he met her under an arch of white roses, where the athlete got down on one knee.
The news of their engagement came after the couple sparked rumors of a romance in March 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic. The duo was spotted on a bike ride in Malibu, along with Nina’s dog Maverick, who was safely tucked under Shaun’s arm during the bike ride. Shortly after the bike ride, HollywoodLife received more information about this budding relationship at the time.
«Nina and Shaun have been friends in the same circle for many years and have always been quite close. But now it’s more of a flirty level because they are both single at the same time, and of course, there is an attraction between them», - a source exclusively told Hollywood Life in April 2020. This «flirty level» has definitely progressed to the next level, as the duo has developed their relationship and charmed fans with their cute photos, videos, and public displays of affection since then.
As their relationship became more public, Nina and Shaun continued to delight each other on their social media. On Valentine’s Day 2021, each wrote loving tributes to each other — you can see the one Shaun wrote above, where he basically summed up their relationship in photos.
Shaun ended his snowboarding career in February 2022, and Nina admitted she was «in awe» of his incredible athletic abilities. «I couldn’t be prouder», - she wrote on Instagram at the time. «For everything you’ve achieved over the last 20 years as a competitor and for the person you’ve become», - she captioned a collection of photos from his Olympic career. «You are unique».
By the end of that year, the couple seemed more serious, going on a romantic vacation to the Maldives in June and gathering their families for a holiday in Mexico in December. In 2023, they were still together, and reportedly, Nina and Shaun purchased their first home together — a sanctuary in the Hollywood Hills worth $ 4.3 million.
«Nina and Shaun have been serious for a long time, so it makes sense that they are moving in together», - a source told Life & Style in a July 2023 report. «They can’t wait to turn it into their dream home, with the help of a designer. It’s a huge step for them, and friends are just waiting for Shaun to propose»
