Inside Nina Dobrev and Shaun White’s Summer Before Break Up

by

Nina Dobrev and Shaun White will always have summer. 

Prior to their separation, which occurred five years into their relationship and a year after their engagement on September 11, the former Vampire Diaries star and Olympian provided a peek at their last tender moments together, revealed only weeks beforehand.

In Nina’s Instagram post on September 5th, she showcased a series of summer memories, some featuring her with Shaun. One picture captures them in bed, with Nina taking a selfie while donning a vegetable-themed pajama set and a face mask, and Shaun, aged 39, gazing at her from beside her.

I recently came across a snapshot capturing a delightful summer scene featuring a pair, cozily nestled on a deck chair. My friend, Nina, is casually attired in a sleek black swimsuit and stylish sunglasses, while Shaun dons his sunnies and swim trunks. To enhance the cheerful vibe, Nina playfully sticks out her tongue and brandishes an Aperol Spritz in the air. It’s a beautiful representation of their summertime camaraderie!

In the last slide, Nina and Shaun are captured lounging on a yacht under a bright blue sky, both donning sunglasses while lying comfortably near each other, enjoying the sunny weather.

As a devoted fan, I’m excited to share that back in August 19th, the beloved alum from Degrassi subtly confirmed that they were spending quality time together outside their usual routines. Accompanying a series of snaps, one of which featured her and Shaun all dressed up at a bar, she captioned the post with “A little of this and that,” hinting at their fun-filled nights out.

In the latter part of the article, they show that traveling extensively, or jet-setting, was a part of their summer plans. They are even captured in casual attire, standing next to their baggage, by an airplane.

On the first of July, Nina demonstrated that their relationship was thriving by posting a picture on social media. In the photo, they were elegantly dressed, standing by a pool in Spain, with Shaun affectionately embracing her and giving her a kiss on the cheek. Simultaneously, Shaun also shared moments from this trip on his personal profile, signifying that it was their last time together he would post photos of his ex-fiancée on Instagram.

This summer, Nina and Shaun joined in on the celebration of their friends’ wedding too. Back in June, Nina posted some special moments from the wedding of Michael Trevino and Bregje Heinen Trevino, which took place in Barcelona. Among the pictures with the newlyweds and other friends, Nina showed off some sweet couple shots featuring herself and Shaun, showcasing their obvious affection. One of those photos captured a tender moment as they both shielded themselves under parasols during the wedding ceremony, sharing a loving kiss.

Regrettably, the chapter of Nina and Shaun’s shared life has come to an end, as evidenced by their recent solitary paths; Nina was alone at the September 7 premiere of ‘Eternity’ at the Toronto International Film Festival, without the symbol of their bond-her engagement ring.

In a short span of time, it was made clear that the ex-partners had ended their engagement and chosen to pursue separate paths.

The source indicated that it was a joint choice, not an easy one, yet carried out with love and a profound admiration for each other.

Happy birthday, my dear!” This version retains the original sentiment while using a more common expression, “extraordinary,” to convey the sense of wonder.

On Valentine’s Day 2023, the actress penned: “Life with you feels like a thrilling roller coaster ride! One moment it’s intense, the next it’s as lighthearted as a fledgling bird – and I can’t thank you enough for always bringing a smile to my face. Happy Valentine’s Day, @shaunwhite!

Living life together with you has been the most thrilling journey!”, Nicholas wrote on Instagram for Dobrev’s 35th birthday. “Happy Birthday, my dear one!
