The two are almost inseparable, and now that the Olympic champion Shaun White is officially retired, the couple spends most of the time with each other. Post Beijing Winter Olympics, the couple went on a much-awaited trip to Costa Rica. While the world was still mourning Shaun White’s retirement news, they flooded their social media handles with the vacation pictures.

Throwback to the Shaun White and Nina Dobrev’s Halloween 2021 costume

After the Netflix series, Queen’s Gambit was released, the popularity of chess escalated tremendously. However, while everyone started playing chess, Shaun and Nina thoughtfully spent their time recreating the iconic look from the series for Halloween 2021. Although the actual fun was watching, Shaun portray Beth Harmon, and Nina as the US chess champion, Benny Watts.

Imagine if Shaun White also visualized himself snowboarding on the roof, just like Beth Harmon’s chess pieces in the Queen’s Gambit show. Do you think it would have altered the results in his last run at the Olympics? It would certainly have made a great snowboarding movie though.
