Nina Dobrev 'Devastated' After Calling Off Engagement To Shaun White Nearly A Year After His Proposal

Hollywood star Nina Dobrev is reportedly struggling with the end of her five-year relationship with Shaun White.

The couple, who were engaged after White proposed in October 2024, called off their relationship earlier this month for reasons that have not yet been disclosed.

Although the breakup was initially described as "mutual," Dobrev is said to be "devastated" by the split, but is leaning on her closest friends for support.

After getting engaged in October 2024, reports emerged earlier this month that Nina Dobrev and Shaun White had called it off.

With the actress also choosing to unpin her engagement post and attending the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival without her 5-carat diamond engagement ring, there was little left to doubt that the two had gone their separate ways.

Those close to Dobrev have now shared insight into her emotional state, revealing that she is struggling to cope with the split.

One insider claimed the actress is "devastated" by the split, especially as they had already begun planning their nuptials, per US Weekly.

Fortunately, she is being "supported by her closest girlfriends, who have been checking in on her" as she deals with the breakup,

In the meantime, she has yet to publicly comment on the breakup, and White has also chosen to remain silent.

Since the split, rumors have circulated about what may have led to the shocking decision, especially as it came just days after the former couple were spotted holding hands in Los Angeles while running errands.

Among the many speculations is infidelity, but a source clarified that "there was no cheating at all" during the relationship.

The two were also said to have remained "very loyal to each other" up until they ultimately decided they were better off apart.

"Any online speculation that suggests otherwise is ridiculous," added the source about the former couple, who began dating in 2019.

Meanwhile, although many may have speculated that one of them was responsible for ending the relationship, previous reports have suggested otherwise.

"It was a mutual decision, and wasn't an easy one, but it was made with love and a deep respect for one another," a source toldPeople Magazine.

The duo was reportedly last photographed together in Los Angeles on August 31, 2025. Shortly after that sighting, Dobrev was spotted at the red carpet premiere of the film, "Eternity," on September 7, noticeably not wearing her diamond engagement ring.

On social media, netizens reacted with shock to the breakup reports, especially since Dobrev had shared photos with White as recently as September 5.

A fan wrote, "Can you give us all some closure and explain what the HECK happened to you and Shaun???? You're killing us! Btw, I'm sorry for the breakup, after all this time!"

A second fan wrote, "NINA WE ARE SO FUCKING CONFUSED," while a third commented, "so confusing."

One more wrote, "JUST TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON PLS."

Some fans also wished Dobrev and White all the best as they navigate their split.

"You guys look so happy. I read something saying you both have split and ended your engagement. I hope you're both ok. Lots of love, take care," one wrote.

"Oh mannnnn thought you guys were gonna make it. Wishing you peace and time to heal," a second netizen commented.

During their relationship, the Olympic champion and the "Degrassi" star were regulars on red carpets. They also gave fans peeks into their world, including snapshots from tropical getaways and other fancy outings.

Their ability to constantly stay in touch despite their hectic careers and packed schedules was down to a special approach they relied on.

"We have a nice little system of how to stay in touch," White once shared with US Weekly. "Plane tickets are pretty much booked for any opportunity that we can go see one another. You just make it work."

He added at the time, "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."
