Shaun White and Nina Dobrev are engaged: Olympian proposes to the actress with 5-carat ring in New York

Former skateboarder and Olympic snowboarder Shaun White and actor Nina Dobrev are getting married. White’s publicist Jennifer Peros confirmed the engagement Wednesday.

White popped the question last weekend at The Golden Swan, a New York restaurant and presented Dobrev with a five-carat diamond ring. Peros created a fake invite for a small dinner with Anna Wintour that she sent to Dobrev as a ruse to get her to the location. When Dobrev arrived, White was waiting with a photographer. After the proposal, the pair were joined by friends to celebrate.

Dobrev shared the exciting news on Instagram, captioning the post, "RIP boyfriend, hello fiancé." Fans and well-wishers have flooded the couple with congratulatory messages.

The couple has been together for several years and moved in together before the pandemic. They officially confirmed their relationship in 2020. White retired from competitive snowboarding after the 2022 Winter Olympics.

White turned pro at skateboarding as a teen. He has competed in and won at the X Games in both skateboarding and snowboarding and is a three-time Olympic gold medalist in half-pipe snowboarding. He retired from snowboarding after the 2022 Olympics and remains the record-holder for most gold medals won by a snowboarder.

Dobrev is best known for her role as Elena Gilbert on The Vampire Diaries. The couple met at a Tony Robbins event in 2019 and dated for five years. This will be the first marriage for both.
