Nina Dobrev and Shaun White Call Off Engagement
Nina Dobrev and Shaun White split after five years together.
"It was a mutual decision, and wasn’t an easy one, but it was made with love and a deep respect for one another," the insider told People.
While it's unclear when exactly Dobrev and White called it quits on their relationship, the exes were last photographed holding hands and running errands together on August 31.

Nina Dobrev Sparks Split Rumors After Being Seen Without Her Engagement Ring
Nina Dobrev and Shaun White briefly met in 2012 before reconnecting in 2019.
Dobrev and White sparked split rumors a couple days later, however, when The Originals star walked the red carpet sans engagement ring on Sunday, September 7, at the premiere of her film Eternity at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival.
The brunette beauty's fans were immediately concerned about whether there was trouble in paradise after Dobrev's 5-carat diamond engagement ring was missing from her finger.
Dobrev then fueled speculation she split from White by unpinning the former flames' engagement post — which proudly lived at the top of her profile ever since the champion snowboarder got down on one knee last year.

Dobrev and White first crossed paths in 2012 during a brief awards show encounter, though they didn't fully hit it off until reconnecting as speakers at an event in Florida hosted by motivational speaker Tony Robbins in 2019.
The A-list stars started dating later that same year before moving in together at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
White was the one to go Instagram official first, when he shared photos in May 2020 of her giving him a haircut during quarantine.
