Shaun White may have mastered the half-pipe, but love has proven harder to land. The Olympic snowboarder and actress Nina Dobrev have officially ended their engagement, closing the chapter on a five-year relationship that began in 2019 and blossomed during the quiet days of pandemic lockdown.
The breakup, confirmed by sources close to the couple, was described as mutual and respectful. While neither White nor Dobrev has commented publicly, signs of the split began surfacing earlier this month. Dobrev walked the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7 without her engagement ring, and her once-pinned Instagram post announcing the engagement has quietly disappeared.
The pair were last seen together in late August, holding hands while running errands in Los Angeles — a moment that now feels like a farewell snapshot. Their engagement, announced in October 2024, had been celebrated with a playful caption and a dazzling 5-carat diamond ring.
Throughout their relationship, White and Dobrev maintained a balance between public appearances and private connection. From red carpet events to shared holidays, they navigated long-distance stretches with intention and effort. Their bond, forged during quarantine, became a fan-favorite love story — one that now ends with quiet grace.
White, a five-time Olympian and three-time gold medalist, and Dobrev, best known for her dual roles on The Vampire Diaries, have both built careers defined by discipline and reinvention. Their breakup, while unexpected, reflects the same maturity that shaped their time together.
