Two years after retiring, Shaun White has pulled off his biggest trick yet.

The three-time Olympic gold medalist announced his engagement to “The Vampire Diaries” alum Nina Dobrev on Wednesday after five years of dating.

“She said YES,” White wrote with one Instagram Carousel with photos from the picturesque proposal. He also shared some cute snaps on his Instagram storydescribing the evening at the end of October as “the best night of my life”.

Dobrev also posted one notice of herself, quipped, “RIP boyfriend, hello fiancé,” and included a few snaps from the same set of engagement photos. In one of them she puts her hands in astonishment – one of them full of diamonds, of course – in front of her mouth.

That look of surprise was hard-earned, White said fashion in an interview published on Wednesday.

White’s original plan to propose during the couple’s summer vacation was foiled by Dobrev, he told the outlet injured his knee in a dirt bike accident. He later scrapped a plan to coincide with their planned November trip to Cape Town, South Africa, because Dobrev seemed suspicious — and he was looking for a real surprise.

So White hatched his final plan and recruited his publicist to send his now-fiancée a fake invitation to a business lunch with Anna Wintour at the Golden Swan restaurant in New York City. Dobrev accepted.

“He made the invitation look so legitimate,” Dobrev told Vogue. When she arrived, she was shocked to find Shaun under an arch of white roses.

“I just froze and stared at him,” she told the outlet, then — like a broken record — kept saying, “No, no, no!”

Dobrev and White first met during a brief encounter at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards, but officially met a few years later at a workshop in Florida organized by motivational speaker Tony Robbins. In 2020, they made their relationship official.

The two have supported each other during the COVID-19 lockdowns, White said People in 2021, with Dobrev keeping the athlete grounded during his final Olympic run in Beijing.

“Nina is incredible. What an impact on my life,” he said. “Not only does she run her own show, her own world, companies she’s involved in, things she produces, all that stuff that’s going on. She holds me to the same high standard, which is so wonderful when you have a partner.”

We’re celebrating White’s birthday in September, Dobrev said There were “too many photos, too many adventures, too much laughter, too many sweet moments” to fit into a single post.
