Shaun White and Nina Dobrev are engaged!
The Olympic gold medalist and Vampire Diaries actress revealed that they got engaged in New York City on Instagram earlier today (October 30).
“She said yes,” Shaun wrote on Instagram with photos that showed off his proposal. Nina later added in her own post, “RIP Boyfriend, hello fiancé.”
Wearing an all-black tuxedo, the 38-year-old athlete gave his future wife a five carat diamond ring, which perfectly matched Nina’s black sparkly dress, polka-dot patterned tights, black heels and sleek straight hair.

Nina, who began dating Shaun back in 2020, told Vogue: “I went into shock. I just froze and stared at him. He said all the right things.”
Shaun disguised his true intentions by having his publicist send Nina a fake invitation for an intimate dinner with Anna Wintour, the long-time editor of Vogue.
“He made the invite look so legitimate,” she admitted.

Earlier this year, the loved-up couple revealed that they were ticking off a series of bucket-list ambitions together. Nina and Shaun embarked on the adventure after the former snowboarder announced his retirement from the sport.
He told Us Weekly, “It’s been really fun having time together. Normally I’m off competing and she’s shooting a project or something … but now we’ve got some time together.”
Shaun created a bucket list before he announced his retirement, and the celebrity couple subsequently focused on fulfilling their dreams.
“We went to Antarctica, Dubai, visited her mom in France, went to Monaco, went to Indonesia. We’ve kind of been all over.”
Congrats to the happy couple!
