Shaun White and Nina Dobrev are engaged. He forged a dinner invitation with Anna Wintour to propose

Former skateboarder and Olympic snowboarder. Shaun White and actor Nina Dobrev are getting married.

White’s publicist Jennifer Peros confirmed the engagement on Wednesday.

White popped the question last weekend at New York’s The Golden Swan restaurant and gave Dobrev a five-carat diamond ring.

Peros created a fake invitation to a small dinner with Anna Wintour, which she sent to Dobrev as a ruse to get her there. When Dobrev arrived, White was waiting with a photographer. Following the proposal, the couple was joined by friends to celebrate.

As a teenager, White became a professional skateboarder. He has competed and won the X Games in both skateboarding and snowboarding, and is a three-time Olympic champion in halfpipe snowboarding. He retired from snowboarding after the 2022 Olympics and remains the record holder for the most gold medals won by a snowboarder.

Dobrev is best known for her role as Elena Gilbert in The Vampire Diaries.

The couple met at a Tony Robbins event in 2019 and dated for five years. This will be the first marriage for both.

Vogue was the first to report the engagement.
