Shaun White, the former skateboarder and Olympic snowboarder, is set to tie the knot with actor Nina Dobrev after a romantic engagement. The news was confirmed by White's publicist, who revealed that White proposed to Dobrev with a stunning five-carat diamond ring at The Golden Swan, a New York restaurant.
The engagement was orchestrated with a clever ruse by White's publicist, who created a fake invite for a dinner with Anna Wintour that was sent to Dobrev. Upon Dobrev's arrival at the restaurant, White surprised her with a photographer and got down on one knee to ask for her hand in marriage. The couple was later joined by friends to celebrate the joyous occasion.
Shaun White, known for his accomplishments in skateboarding and snowboarding, has had a successful career as a professional athlete. With multiple wins at the X Games and three Olympic gold medals in half-pipe snowboarding, White retired from competitive snowboarding after the 2022 Olympics, holding the record for the most gold medals won by a snowboarder.
Nina Dobrev, famous for her role as Elena Gilbert on “The Vampire Diaries,” met White at a Tony Robbins event in 2019, and the couple has been together for five years. This upcoming marriage will mark the first for both White and Dobrev, as they take this next step in their relationship.
The engagement news was first reported by Vogue, adding to the excitement surrounding this union between two accomplished individuals from different realms of entertainment and sports.
