(Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP, File) Renowned snowboarder Shaun White and actor Nina Dobrev are officially engaged as confirmed by White's publicist, Jennifer Peros, on Wednesday. The proposal took place last weekend at The Golden Swan, a New York restaurant, where White surprised Dobrev with a five-carat diamond ring. To orchestrate the surprise, Peros devised a fake invitation for a dinner supposedly with fashion mogul Anna Wintour to bring Dobrev to the venue. White, a former skateboard prodigy turned Olympic snowboarding champion, has been a prominent figure in extreme sports. He holds the record for most gold medals by a snowboarder and won three Olympic golds in the half-pipe snowboarding events. He retired after the 2022 Olympics. Dobrev has made her mark in the entertainment industry, most notably with her role on The Vampire Diaries. The couple met at a Tony Robbins event in 2019 and have dated for five years.
