White and Dobrev began dating in 2019 after meeting each other at an event in Florida. They moved in together the following year and made their relationship official on Instagram.

Before the snowboarder's proposal, he had tried to pop the question twice, but unexpected situations thwarted each one.

The first was during the previous November while they were on a trip to Cape Town, South Africa. However, when their friends asked when they would get engaged, White thought pushing the proposal to a different time was best.

White also wanted to propose to Dobrev during their summer vacation this year but scrapped the plan after the actress unexpectedly fractured her knee while riding a bike.

The skateboarder continued, "So, I know during the holiday break, we're going to meet up, and we're going to meet up again probably around Christmas time. Anything that happens in between, then I'll jet over and see her. You just make it work."

White added, "I think that's the goal of it all, and the key to it all is just making the time. [Nina's] super organized and on top of it, so I give it to her. She always finds a way to make it happen."
