Nina Dobrev has flipped to a fresh page in her diary. 

Following the confirmation of her split from Shaun White on September 11th, the actress known for *The Vampire Diaries* posted a heartwarming message on social media about how she’s doing.

Nina recently shared a heartwarming photo on her Instagram Story from September 17th, showing her cuddling with a baby and a toddler. She covered the toddler’s face with a white heart emoji. Though she didn’t add a caption, Nina – wearing a black athletic outfit – appears happy and doing well, as evidenced by the gentle smile on her face while holding the children.

Shaun recently went back to using social media and mentioned he’s coping with being newly single by taking trips.

Shaun announced on Instagram on September 15th that he’s returned to Beijing for the first time since the 2022 Games. He shared that he’s feeling both nostalgic and excited to bring @thesnowleague back in December!

Nina and Shaun, who had been dating since 2020 and got engaged last October, recently split up, according to TopMob News.

You know, it’s funny how things can look on social media. Just days before the news broke about my split, I shared some sweet summer photos with my ex, Shaun, looking all cozy. But honestly, even then I was hinting at a new chapter. On September 5th, I posted a kind of mysterious TikTok that, looking back, was definitely a signal I was ready to embrace being single. It’s a reminder that what we see online isn’t always the full story!

In a video posted online, Nina asked, “How can you sleep at night if you know people dislike you?” Her response? “Comfortably-and without underwear, just in case anyone wants to kiss me.”

Nina went on to criticize women trying to “fix” their man. 

She continued, jokingly comparing the group to a construction crew, and said, ‘You know, it’s like Bob the Builder – he’s already got ten other women trying to help him out!’

The ex-couple frequently showcased the best moments of their relationship online, but Shaun pointed out that social media only captured those highlights, not the full picture.

Like all couples, we’ve faced challenges,” Shaun shared in a post from November 2024. “But open communication and our willingness to work through things are what keep us strong together.
