Shaun White, a former professional skateboarder and Olympic snowboarder, is set to tie the knot with actress Nina Dobrev.
This exciting news was confirmed by White’s publicist, Jennifer Peros, on Wednesday.
The proposal took place during a romantic dinner at The Golden Swan, a trendy restaurant in New York City, where White presented Dobrev with an impressive five-carat diamond ring.
To set the stage for the surprise, Peros devised a clever plan by sending a fake invitation for an intimate dinner with renowned fashion icon Anna Wintour.
Once Dobrev arrived, she found White waiting with a photographer to capture the memorable moment.
Following the proposal, the newly engaged couple celebrated their engagement with friends surrounding them in joyous festivity.
Having turned professional as a skateboarder during his teenage years, White is renowned for his achievements in both skateboarding and snowboarding.
He has notably competed in and triumphed at the X Games in both sports, earning three Olympic gold medals in half-pipe snowboarding.
After retiring from professional snowboarding following the 2022 Winter Olympics, White holds the record for the most gold medals won by a snowboarder.
Dobrev is widely recognized for her portrayal of Elena Gilbert in the popular television series “The Vampire Diaries.”
The couple’s journey began when they met at a Tony Robbins event back in 2019, and they have been in a loving relationship for the past five years.
This forthcoming marriage will be the first for both White and Dobrev.
The engagement news was first reported by Vogue, sparking excitement among their fans and followers.
