Olympian Snowboarder Shaun White Reveals How He Proposed To Nina Dobrev

Buy Me A Coffee

Snowboard legend Shaun White went all-in with the storybook proposal for Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev, and let’s just say this proposal has everything: secret schemes, unexpected Shake Shack, and one very bedazzling diamond.

Hereโ€™s the tea: 36-year-old Shaun got down on one knee in New York City, orchestrating this big olโ€™ moment under an arch of white roses. And that ring? Five carats of pure “try and say no to this.” The proposal was set up at Golden Swan, a restaurant fancy enough to sound like it comes with a side of peacocks, per Vogue.

When he popped the question, Ninaโ€™s reaction was, well, downright cinematic. โ€œI went into shock,โ€ Nina confessed. โ€œI just froze and stared at him.โ€ Somewhere, a Hollywood screenwriter is furiously scribbling notes.

The night wasnโ€™t just roses and glitz, though. Friends joined the couple to toast the newly engaged lovebirds with caviar, champagne, andโ€”because itโ€™s 2024 and bougie has boundariesโ€”they topped off their feast with Shake Shack and dumplings delivered right to their fancy restaurant table. Nothing says romance like burgers on standby.

So, howโ€™d Shaun pull off the element of surprise? He got downright sneaky. Shaunโ€™s publicist sent Nina a super-official invite to a very private CFDA/Vogue dinner with none other than Anna Wintour herself. โ€œHe made the invite look so legit,โ€ Nina said, already mentally prepping for high-fashion elbow-rubbing.

But the twist? When she arrived, there was no Anna, no fashion crowdโ€”just Shaun and a photographer ready to capture the big moment. โ€œHe said all the right things,โ€ she revealed, which weโ€™re going to assume was something along the lines of, โ€œI love you, and no, weโ€™re not really here for Anna Wintour.โ€

These two go way backโ€”well, kind of. They first crossed paths at an awards show in 2012, sharing exactly one โ€œhey, nice to meet youโ€ moment before parting ways until 2019. Fast-forward to a Tony Robbins event in Florida that year (as one does), and Shaun and Nina were properly introduced. It wasnโ€™t long before they went Insta-official in 2020, a pandemic move that clearly stuck.
