Actress Nina Dobrev got the surprise of a lifetime when Olympic snowboarding champion Shaun White popped the question in an elaborate proposal worthy of a rom-com. On Wednesday, Dobrev shared the exciting news on Instagram, posting stunning photos of the pair embracing under an arch of white roses. She also flaunted her dazzling five-carat Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring with a playful caption: “RIP boyfriend, hello fiancé.”
The proposal was a carefully crafted surprise that Dobrev couldn’t have seen coming. White orchestrated the moment with the help of Vogue, where he led Dobrev to believe she was headed to an exclusive dinner with Vogue’s Anna Wintour at New York’s Golden Swan. Dobrev, dressed in Chanel and excited for the “intimate dinner party,” joked that the invite “looked so legitimate.”
As she entered the venue, Dobrev was stunned to see White waiting beneath the floral arch, ready to propose. “I went into shock,” she said, recalling the heartfelt words he shared before she happily said yes. The newly engaged couple then celebrated with friends and family into the early hours, marking the occasion with love and laughter.
Dobrev and White have been inseparable since they were first romantically linked in 2020, and fans have enjoyed following their adventures on social media. This surprise proposal is the latest chapter in a love story that’s captivated their followers.
