Nina Dobrev and Shaun White’s split was amicable and not dramatic, source claims
Nina Dobrev and Shaun White’s split news went public a few weeks ago. Although the two have not addressed the report yet, various speculations about the reason have been circulating online. A source recently told US Weekly that the breakup was amicable as no “drama” or “cheating” was involved.
They mentioned that the celebrity pair was “loyal” in their relationship. “They genuinely just grew apart and realized they would be better off just as friends and not husband and wife,” the insider added.
The “Vampire Diaries” alum and the former Olympic snowboarder started dating in 2020 during the lockdown phase. In October 2024, they announced their engagement and reportedly began their wedding preparations. Amid the planning, they allegedly called it quits.
“They had finally started planning the wedding and things were in motion,” another source told the outlet. During this difficult time, the 36-year-old actor has reportedly been relying on her “girlfriends who have been checking in on her.”
Earlier, a report stated that Dobrev and White’s decision to part ways was “mutual.” According to an insider, their conclusion to breakup was made “with love and a deep respect for one another.” However, previously, it was reported that their priorities didn’t match anymore and that they were seemingly “not growing” as a pair.
“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 person in the know added.
