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.
