Third time’s the charm: Shaun White proposes to Nina Dobrev after scrapping plans twice
As a cinema enthusiast and someone who appreciates a good love story, I must say that Shaun White and Nina Dobrev’s engagement tale is nothing short of cinematic magic. Having followed Shaun’s incredible career as an Olympic gold medalist and Nina’s successful acting journey in shows like “The Vampire Diaries,” it’s heartwarming to see two accomplished individuals find love in each other.
Two years into his retirement, Shaun White has pulled off his greatest trick yet.
On Wednesday, the three-time Olympic gold medalist publicly declared his intention to marry actress Nina Dobrev, whom he has been dating for five years, since they started their relationship.
In a series of Instagram posts, he declared “She said YES,” as he shared beautiful images from their enchanting proposal. Additionally, he posted some heartwarming photos on his Instagram story, labeling that magical late October night as the “most incredible evening of my life.
Dobrev playfully announced her own post as well, saying “Farewell boyfriend, welcome fiancé” and attaching a few pictures from their engagement shoot. One photo shows her covering her mouth in amazement, with her hand clutching a diamond ring, of course.
That look of surprise was hard-earned, White told Vogue in an interview published Wednesday.
Originally, White had planned to propose during the couple’s summer holiday, but his plans were thwarted when Dobrev got hurt in a dirt-biking mishap. Later, he abandoned another proposal idea that aligned with their November trip to Cape Town, South Africa, because Dobrevs’ suspicions made her wary – and White was aiming for a genuine surprise.
Here’s my take on paraphrasing that sentence from a movie buff’s perspective: In the end, White hatched his cunning scheme, roping in his publicist to extend a phony invitation to his future spouse for a business rendezvous with Anna Wintour at the prestigious Golden Swan restaurant in the heart of New York City. Dobrev, being smitten, accepted the invite.
Dobrev mentioned to Vogue that he had made the invitation appear incredibly genuine,” said one version. “Upon her arrival, she was taken aback to discover Shaun beneath a beautiful archway adorned with white roses.
She confided to the source that she was left speechless, simply gawking at him. Over and over again, she repeated her denial, saying “No, no, no!” repeatedly.
Initially, Dobrev and White crossed paths at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards, yet it wasn’t until a few years later, during a workshop held in Florida by motivational speaker Tony Robbins, that they properly got to know each other. Their romantic involvement became public knowledge in 2020.
During the COVID-19 lockdowns, they stood by each other, as White shared in an interview with People in 2021. Dobrev helped keep the athlete focused and down-to-earth during his last Olympic competition in Beijing.
“Nina is amazing, and she’s had a profound impact on my life,” he expressed. “She not only manages her own business empire, but she also creates and produces various projects. It’s incredible. What’s more, she encourages me to maintain the same high standards in my life, which I find truly inspiring as a partner.
In September, while celebrating White’s birthday, Dobrev expressed that there were “more pictures, more thrilling experiences, more joyful moments, and more adorable instances” than could be contained in just one post.
