Nina Dobrev And Shaun White Are Engaged, Actress Reveals Details Of Her Dreamy Proposal; ‘I Went Into Shock’

As an ardent fan of all things love stories and Hollywood drama, I must say that Nina Dobrev and Shaun White’s engagement story has truly stolen my heart! The way Shaun meticulously planned every detail to ensure a perfect surprise proposal is nothing short of romantic.


Actress Nina Dobrev, known for her role in The Vampire Diaries, is now engaged to her boyfriend Shaun White, who is an Olympic snowboarder. In a conversation with Vogue, she shared that the proposal happened in New York City towards the end of October. Under a beautiful archway of white roses at the Golden Swan restaurant, he got down on one knee and showed her a stunning 5-carat diamond ring.

Dobrev was taken aback, her reaction was one of stunned silence as she gazed at him. She revealed this in an interview, stating that the unexpected proposal was followed by a gathering with friends for a small dinner. The actress from Degrassi playfully commented that despite starting their night with caviar and champagne, they ended up ordering burgers and dumplings from Shake Shack to the restaurant by the end.

White’s plans were just as lavish as his proposal. To throw Dobrev off balance, he arranged for his publicist to send her a phony invitation to an exclusive CFDA/Vogue dinner with Anna Wintour, Vogue reported. “The invitation looked so authentic,” she said later.

Upon reaching the location, she noticed only White standing beneath an archway along with the photographer. After hearing him utter “the perfect words,” she couldn’t resist responding affirmatively. Overjoyed, they both announced their engagement on their respective Instagram accounts.

White shared a bunch of pictures from the proposal and captioned it, “She said YES,” whereas Dobrev posted the same set of pictures and wrote, “RIP boyfriend, hello fiancé.” The snaps captured White kneeling with a ring box in his hand, another showed him picking her up in his arms as they kissed, and the last picture captured them candidly smiling at each other. 

The pair began dating in the year 2019 and shifted living arrangements together when the Covid-19 Pandemic broke out. They announced their relationship on Instagram in May 2020 by posting a series of pictures, showing Dobrev trimming White’s hair during lockdown. Earlier in April, White hinted at a potential proposal to Dobrev to People magazine.

He mentioned that they were simply savoring their shared moments with no obligations attached. Earlier, he had explained, “Once the Olympics ended, I finally regained my independence to do as I please. Let’s enjoy ourselves, spend time together, and offer mutual support,” he expressed at that point in time.
