News of Nina Dobrev and Shaun White’s split came as a surprise to many, especially after they were reportedly in the process of building a home together. The couple, who had been together for five years, called off their engagement on September 11.
In a now-ironic TikTok video posted by Nina in July, the actress and the professional snowboarder are seen joking about the expenses of building a new home. Nina captioned the video, “When you’re getting married and building a house in the same year.”
The split was a “mutual decision” according to an insider who spoke to People magazine, adding that it was “made with love and a deep respect for one another.” Rumors of the breakup began when Nina was seen without her engagement ring at a film premiere.
The professional snowboarder had proposed to the actress in October 2024, after a four-year relationship. Just a month before the breakup, Shaun had shared with People how “excited” he and Nina were to plan their wedding, calling it a new aspiration for them to strive for together.
