LOOK: Nina Dobrev and Shaun White are now engaged
Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev is now engaged to Olympic snowboarder Shaun White!
The couple made the announcement on their respective Instagram accounts on Thursday, Oct. 31, showing photos of them kissing and with all smiles during the proposal in New York City.
“RIP boyfriend, hello fiancé,” Nina wrote in the caption, showing her five-carat diamond engagement ring.
In a report by Vogue, Shaun planned different proposals for the actress. Knowing Nina as “an extremely organized person,” he wanted to make sure to give a big surprise.
After a series of postponed proposals, Shaun made sure that he was going to officially pop the question in late October, by inviting her to a fake intimate CFDA/Vogue dinner with Anna Wintour.
“He made the invite look so legitimate,” Nina told Vogue.
When the Love Hard actress arrived at the Golden Swan in New York City, the only people present were the photographer and Shaun, who was standing under the arch of white roses.
“He said all the right things," Nina recalled to Vogue.
Fans and celebrities sent their messages of love and happiness to the couple in the posts’ comments sections.
“SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP,” Sarah Hyland wrote.
“Yeahhhhhhhhh,” Kate Hudson commented.
“[C]ongrats !!!” Kendall Jenner wrote.
“[B]ro got another gold medal,” Paul Klein also commented.
The two started dating in 2019, and went Instagram official in May 2020. They first met at an event organized by motivational speaker Tony Robbins.
Nina is known for her roles in Vampire Diaries, The Out-Laws, Love Hard, and Reunion. Shaun, meanwhile, is a five-time Olympian and a three-time Olympic gold medalist in half-pipe snowboarding.
