Nina Dobrev and Shaun White gave their fans a fairytale love story when they got together. Therefore, their rumored split came as a shock to netizens around the globe. A source told the Daily Mail that the Olympian and the “Vampire Diaries” alum parted ways because of different priorities.
The athlete wanted marriage and family and “all that comes from that.” Meanwhile, the 36-year-old was “on board but also very interested in seeing where her acting career was going to go.” It was something she couldn’t ignore.
“As much as they had the same ideals and wanted to enjoy the same ride, they naturally couldn’t come together on a common goal, and that was the strain on their relationship,” the insider added.
Elaborating on their relationship, the source mentioned that the pair got together during the COVID-19 pandemic. They “thrived” as lovers during the lockdown, but things “changed” when they got out and faced reality. Dobrev and White reportedly realized that they were “stuck” and “not growing as a couple.”
Therefore, they decided to call it quits before they end up “hating each other or enter a loveless marriage.” “They were smart enough to get out now while they still are young and while they still can move on from each other without any baggage,” they claimed. As per the outlet, they were last spotted together in Los Angeles on August 31.
