Shortly after, though, fans had already begun to speculate that it might not have been as respectful or mutual as the source claimed. <\/p>\n<p>From public appearances without her engagement ring to Dobrev\u2019s tongue-in-cheek TikTok that had fans speculating that perhaps Shaun had done Dobrev dirty. The TikTok sound asks \u201cwhat\u2019s your advice for women trying to fix their man?\u201d, and then she does a voiceover that said, \u201cListen Bob the Builder, he\u2019s got 10 other women trying to fix him too, and you all look like a damn construction crew\u201d. Needless to say, eyebrows raised as the views stacked up on this video, which has now been watched by 25 million people on the platform. <\/p>\n<p>Since the split, Dobrev has been spending time with friends and was spotted over the weekend on a boat with plenty of the couple\u2019s shared celebrity friends. Zac Efron was there (and while some had speculated that it might mean they\u2019re dating, there wasn\u2019t really anything to indicate they\u2019re more than friends), as well as <em>Gossip Girl<\/em>\u2018s Chase Crawford, and Miles and Keleigh Teller.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DOvu8kGgACK\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-did-nina-dobrev-and-shaun-white-break-up\">Why Did Nina Dobrev And Shaun White Break Up?<\/h2>\n<p>At this stage, it\u2019s all rumours, and it\u2019s likely to stay that way. But the rumours speculate that the pair has actually been on and off for a long time, according to Instagram gossip and blind items page Deuxmoi. \u201cThey have been in couples counselling for so long,\u201d they said. \u201cNina just wanted to build a life and family and he wouldn\u2019t commit.\u201d Though the pair did get engaged last October, White reportedly was lagging on deciding on a wedding date or making any concrete plans. <\/p>\n<p>This was also backed up by <em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/why-nina-dobrev-and-shaun-white-broke-up-sources-exclusive-11810325\">People<\/a><\/em>, who a source told that Dobrev was \u201cdevastated\u201d over the split. \u201cThere was one reason,\u201d the source told <em>People<\/em>. \u201cShe wanted a family and wanted to get married \u2014 and he didn\u2019t.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>However, there seems to be a classic warring of sources, with a second insider insisting that both White and Dobrev \u201cwanted marriage and kids\u201d and \u201cit wasn\u2019t just one-sided\u201d.
