Nina Dobrev and Shaun White got engaged! Actress shows off her ring after saying 'yes' to her 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, in which Dobrev wrote, “RIP friend, hello fiancé.”

Nina and Shaun shared snaps of the romantic proposal, which saw the actress say 'I do' surrounded by candles and next to an arch of white flowers.

“She said YES,” Shaun captioned the post with a diamond ring and an eternity emoji.

The photos showed the moment Shaun got down on one knee to ask for Nina's hand as she covered her mouth in shock.

After accepting his proposal, they hugged each other lovingly while Shaun picked her up.

Nina's ring was huge – it shone brightly on her hand.

The massive sparkler is a five-carat ring from Lorraine Schwartz, Shaun told Vogue.

Shaun went to extraordinary lengths to make the suggestion a reality.

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 her engagement ring in several places in her home, including the tool shed and the sock drawer.

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

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

The couple has been together since 2019

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 Diary actress even had a styling session done before the event, which she thought the magazine was covering but was actually organized by her now-fiancé.

But Nina arrived at the event a few minutes late, which caused some concern as she said Vogue events usually run on time.

“I was panicking because Anna was waiting for me,” she shared.

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

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

“I was in shock. “I just froze and stared at him,” she said, before slipping into a state of joyful disbelief.

Nina met Shaun at the exhibition and although she admits she couldn't remember all the details because she had passed out, she did remember that Shaun “said all the right things”.

She said yes and friends joined them for caviar and champagne.
