In a beautiful turn of events, Nina Dobrev, the beloved star of The Vampire Diaries, announced her engagement to Olympic gold medalist Shaun White. The couple, who have been dating since 2019, shared the joyous news with stunning photos from a romantic proposal that feels like a scene from a fairy tale.

Shaun White, 38, who has long been planning the proposal, managed to keep his preparations under wraps this time around. In a heartfelt interview, Nina recounted how he cleverly moved the five-carat diamond ring around their home to keep it hidden. “I went into shock.
