Shaun White, Nina Dobrev, and a legendary proposal
Nina Dobrev and Shaun White are among the most loving and established couples in the star system. It seemed obvious that if there were ever a marriage proposal coming from one of them, the answer would be affirmative.
Shaun White indeed made a proposal that was impossible to decline. The Olympic snowboarder prepared an elaborate and romantic plan for the marriage proposal that could be the basis of a rom-com on Netflix.
As Vogue reported, Shaun White got a gorgeous five-carat engagement ring designed by Lorraine Schwartz and booked a table at the famous Golden Swan restaurant in New York. He invited Nina Dobrev for dinner without getting her suspicious.

To increase the surprise factor, he had asked his publicist to make a fake invitation for an intimate dinner with Anna Wintour. Nina Dobrev believed that they were going to have an exclusive meeting with the Vogue icon.
To prepare for a meeting with Wintour, Nina Dobrev wore a beautiful Chanel dress. It was suggested by her stylist who was also in on the snowboarder's plan.
The actress had the surprise of her life when it turned out that she wasn't meeting Wintour but an engagement ring and a beautiful proposal. Both stars shared on their Instagram accounts that the answer was yes. They are getting married.
The surprise was not over yet, as friends and family joined in the post-proposal party. As People magazine reports, there was food, drink, a few tears, and lots of laughter at this surprise engagement party.
And how did Nina Dobrev, future Mrs. White, tell the world about her engagement?
"RIP boyfriend, hello fiancé."

Nina Dobrev and Shaun White are taking the next step in a relationship that began in 2019. During the pandemic, the romance was consolidated and the couple moved in together. The relationship was made official in May 2020 when they shared that they were in quarantine together.
People magazine emphasizes that the pandemic strengthened their bond. The Olympic athlete realized how much he valued the actress's presence in his life at this difficult time.
What not everyone knows, is that the two have known each other since 2012. As CNN reminds us, their connection was always very positive, although it took seven years to get to the point of a romantic relationship.
Another important reinforcement for the couple was Shaun White's withdrawal from sports in 2022. It allowed him to explore his relationship with Nina Dobrev freely and without external pressure, People magazine reports.
In addition, the couple has managed the media coverage of their relationship in a relaxed style.
They have allowed for transparency and are among the few star couples to share their daily lives on social media.

Unaware of the romantic proposal he was planning for her, Nina had just written to Shaun on Instagram a few weeks earlier, congratulating him on his birthday.

"It's so hard to go through years of photos and narrow down the ones to post for your birthday," Nina wrote to Shaun. "There are too many photos, too many adventures, too much laughter, too many cute moments, too many trips, too many inside jokes, too many memories... I love to too much birthday boy." Now, with the engagement and upcoming marriage, there will be more beautiful moments to add.
