Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev is now engaged. She got engaged to Olympic snowboarding star Shaun White in a cute ceremony.
Shaun proposed to Nina in a stunning setting of white roses and a dazzling 5-carat diamond ring. The proposal happened in New York City. The two have been together since 2019.
Shaun had been trying to propose to Nina, but every time he decided, something or the other happened. Previously, he tried to propose during a dirt-biking accident that left Nina with a knee injury and another while they were in Cape Town—Shaun White was eager to finally pop the question.
As for this proposal, he took Nina to a restaurant where he surprised her with a stunning 5-carat diamond ring under an arch of white roses.
Speaking to Vogue about the proposal, Nina said, "I went into shock. I just froze and stared at him.”
Shaun White had a secret plan. He asked his publicist to send Nina a fake invitation for an intimate CFDA/Vogue dinner with Anna Wintour at the Golden Swan in New York City. The 34-year-old actress couldn’t help but laugh at how real the invitation looked. On the day of the proposal, all dressed up for what she thought was a magazine shoot, Nina walked up the stairs to the restaurant’s private room in “head-to-toe Chanel.”
As she reached the restaurant, she realised it wasn’t going to be a magazine shoot since there was Shaun, white roses and only one photographer.
Nina revealed, “He said all the right things.”
Nina Dobrev and Shaun White began dating in 2019 and reportedly moved in together before the pandemic hit. They made their relationship official in 2020. Shaun retired from competing after the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
