After watching Nina Dobrev and Shaun White fall in love more than five years ago, this week, news broke that the former celebrity couple is going their separate ways. Everything seemed to be going well between them since their engagement last year, so what happened? Fans definitely have their theories after Nina shared a TikTok video just days ago that may have hinted at what went wrong.
Nina and Shaun’s breakup was confirmed on Thursday.
A source confirmed to People that after more than five years together — and getting engaged in October 2024 — Nina and Shaun have decided to go their separate ways.
“It was a mutual decision, and wasn’t an easy one, but it was made with love and a deep respect for one another,” the source said.
So far, neither Nina nor Shaun have released any statements about their breakup themselves.
Less than a week earlier, Nina shared a TikTok video that now has fans reeling.

In the video, which was shared last week, Nina is looking exhausted as she mouths the words of some very telling audio she chose for the post.
“How do you sleep at night knowing people don’t like you?” says the clip. “With no underwear, in case they wanna kiss my a–.”
The most telling clip comes next, though: “What’s your advice for women trying to fix their man? Listen, Bob the Builder, he’s got 10 other women trying to fix him too, and you all look like a damn construction crew.”
Fans are convinced that infidelity was involved.
After watching the video, fans are buzzing that Nina must have been hinting that Shaun cheated — though so far, she hasn’t said that expressly.
“Subtext here: he cheated. EVEN THE PRETTY & SUPER COOL ONES, GIRLS!!! IT’S NEVER YOUR FAULT,” one commenter wrote.
Another added, “Nina doing charity work for years and he cheated???”
All seemed well between Nina and Shaun just one month ago.
@nina it’s a great deal

On August 9, both Nina and Shaun were all smiles in a TikTok video set to the viral Jet2 Holidays audio as they appeared to be enjoying a vacation together, so it’s no wonder fans are finding the news of their breakup a bit of a shock.
The first hint that there might be trouble in paradise came when she was spotted on the red carpet at the premiere of Eternity at the Toronto Film Festival without her engagement ring on September 7.
