Olympic snowboarder Shaun White and actress Nina Dobrev have called off their engagement. Sources are describing the high-profile split as a mutual decision.
An insider close to the couple told PEOPLE, “It was a mutual decision, and wasn’t an easy one, but it was made with love and a deep respect for one another.”
Observant fans had noticed the couple’s absence from each other’s social media accounts in recent months. According to PEOPLE, Dobrev attended the Toronto International Film Festival alone on Sept. 7, which intensified speculation about their relationship status.
White, 39, is a three-time Olympic champion snowboarder. Dobrev, 36, an actress, is known for her starring role in “The Vampire Diaries,” the Associated Press said.
The romance started in 2019 after meeting at a Tony Robbins seminar in Florida. At the event, the two ended up in the same discussion group, according to Parade. Their relationship progressed quickly, with the couple moving in together during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic.
White proposed to Dobrev in October 2024. She announced their engagement on Instagram with the caption “RIP boyfriend, hello fiancé.”
They shared pictures on social media of their travels together and seemed to publicly support the other’s career.
White announced his retirement from snowboarding after the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. At that time, he credited Dobrev for helping him craft his plans for retirement, the AP said.
