A source close to the actress of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ told Peepal: “It was a mutual decision, and was not easy, but it was taken with love and deep respect for each other.” Representatives of White and Dobrev did not comment on the alleged news of their separation. The last photo of the two was taken on August 31, 2025 in Los Angeles, handling each other’s hand.
On September 7, 2025, Dobrev gave up speculation, when she ran without her 5 carat diamond engagement rings on the red carpet of the premiere of Eaternity at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival. He also unnecessarily posted his engagement post, which had been on her Instagram forever since the proposal by White in October 2024. Dobrev met Skateboarder at an award show in 2012. However, they became familiar with each other in 2019 when they were booked as a speaker at an event organized by Motivational Speaker Tony Robins in Florida.
White recalled the meeting during an interview with Peepal in 2022, saying he said “really knew anything about (Dobrev).” The three -time Olympic gold medalist admitted that when several staff members requested him to take a picture with him, he found it very interesting. He further said, “And I was thinking, ‘What is happening? What is happening?’ It was really very funny. “
The couple started dating in 2019 and started living together at the beginning of the Covid-19 epidemic. White announced his relationship on Instagram in May 2020. In a series of photographs shared by him, Dobrev was seen giving him a Quarantine haircut.
39 -year -old praised Dobrev in an interview with Peepal and said- “Nina was very helpful and amazing for me in this whole process. During the epidemic, she was a life guard – she really made that time of my life special.”
White proposed Dobrev in October 2024, surprising him at a dinner party at The Golden Swan in New York City. He proposed to Dobrev to go to a CFDA/Vogue program organized by Anna Wintor, before offering 5 carat Loren Shwartz diamond ring.
After Propos, the couple shared pictures of that special night on Instagram. White captioned on his post, “He said yes (SIC).” In his post, Dobrev wrote, “RIP boyfriend, Hello fiance (SIC).”
Dobrev also worked in actor Vin Diesel’s action-thriller ‘XXX the Return of Gender Cage’, which also featured actress Deepika Padukone.
