Nina Dobrev and Shaun White got engaged! Actress shows off ring after saying ‘yes’ to boyfriend of five years

Nina Dobrev and Shaun White are now engaged after five years together.

The couple announced their engagement in a series of Instagram posts, with Dobrev writing: ‘RIP girlfriend, hi fiance’.

Nina and Shaun shared snaps from the romantic proposal, where the actress said ‘yes’ surrounded by candles and next to an arch of white flowers.

‘She said YES,’ Shaun captioned the post with a diamond ring and eternity emoji. He also shared snaps to his stories, writing: ‘Best night of my life.’

The pictures showed the moment Shaun dropped to one knee to ask for Nina’s hand in marriage as she shocked her mouth.

After accepting his proposal, they shared a sweet embrace with Shaun lifting her off of her.

Nina’s ring was massive – it shone brightly on her hand.

The massive sparkler is a five carat ring by Lorraine Schwartz, Shaun revealed Vogue.

Shaun went to extraordinary lengths to make the proposal happen.

After previous plans to propose fell through, Shaun decided to pop the question in late October at a restaurant called The Golden Swan in New York City.

In the weeks leading up to the proposal, he hid their engagement ring in several places in their home, including the tool shed and sock drawer.

But Nina wasn’t feeling well in the days leading up to the proposal and decided to stay here to stay healthy for an upcoming trip to Africa.

Undeterred, Shaun decided to go ahead with his proposal plans and arranged for his publicist to send Nina a fake invitation to an intimate CFDA/Vogue dinner with Anna Wintour at the restaurant he planned to propose at.

Nina decided to go and told the outlet that the invitation looked completely genuine. “He made the invitation look so legitimate,” she said.

The Vampire Diaries actress even had a styling session done ahead of the event, which she thought the magazine was covering, but was actually all organized by her now-fiancé.

But Nina was a few minutes late to the event, causing some anxiety as she said Vogue events are typically on time.

“I was panicking that Anna is waiting for me,” she said.

The restaurant was also completely quiet when she arrived – adding to her concerns about being late.

However, when she entered the restaurant, Shaun and a photographer were the only people inside.

‘I went into shock. I just froze and stared at him,” she said before going into a state of happy disbelief.

Nina met Shaun at the screening and although she admits she didn’t remember all the details as she blacked out, she did remember Shaun ‘saying all the right things’.

She agreed and they were joined by friends for caviar and champagne.
