However, it isn’t only his professional life that has been the talk of the town for years now. People love to keep themselves updated on his love life as well. Shaun White has been in a loving relationship with actress Nina Dobrev for two years now. While the couple prefers keeping it private, the little glimpse that they share of their love life simply screams goals.

Nina Dobrev’s sweet gesture for Shaun White

Earlier this year, White had announced that the 2022 Winter Olympics would be his last Olympics. Unfortunately, due to the covid restrictions, no family and friends of the participants were allowed in the arena. Therefore, his loved ones weren’t able to cheer for him that one last time.

However, his girlfriend Nina Dobrev took that as a challenge and made sure that Shaun knows that they were there for him. White shared a video on TikTok as a response to one of his fan’s questions, asking if Nina was there to cheer for him during the tournament. Through the video, he revealed the efforts the Vampire Diaries alum put in to keep the snowboarder in high spirits.

In the video, Shaun showed the photos he came across while going through his stuff. He first shared that the actress was unable to attend the meet due to the covid restrictions. He continued, “But I have been finding these pictures. Nina hid all of these in my bag and in my shoes and in my carry-on and my overnight case…it’s just pictures of friends and family back home with little notes letting me know that they’re cheering me on from afar, which is cool.” And if that isn’t the sweetest thing, then no one knows what is.
