Shaun White is clearly a very eligible bachelor at the moment, but it’s unclear exactly how long he’ll stay that way. White, who recently navigated the end of his engagement to Nina Dobrev, has been spotted out and about on dates in recent weeks. Fans have linked him, most recently, to Angela Garten, a model. There is even speculation that he’s been liking Garten’s social media posts starting in October, a month after his split from Dobrev. While Shaun is navigating the potential of a new relationship, let’s take a look back at how his last one ended.

When Did Shaun White and Nina Dobrev Break Up?

Nina Dobrev and Shaun White’s relationship ended pretty abruptly in September 2025. In late August, the pair were spotted walking hand-in-hand in Los Angeles. They seemed happy, and nothing appeared to be amiss. By all accounts, they looked as in love as they ever had. Then, on September 11, a source told People that Shaun and Nina had called it quits. The insider, who remained anonymous, claimed that the decision was “mutual” and that they were moving on with “respect” for each other.

Shaun and Nina were first spotted together in March 2020, as the pandemic set in. By 2023, an insider claimed they were planning to marry and have children together. They appeared to be one step closer to that when Shaun proposed in the fall of 2024. Despite the long engagement, wedding plans weren’t underway. The abrupt nature of the breakup has led to some speculation, including the notion that Shaun may have cheated.

Rumors Swirled That Shaun White Was a Cheater

While Shaun White and Nina Dobrev have given no indication that their split was nasty or due to something scandalous, rumors began swirling almost instantly that Shaun had stepped out on Nina. An insider who spoke to RadarOnline addressed the cheating rumors by saying the stories “aren’t far-fetched.” They went on to note that Nina’s friends have long suspected he had a wandering eye.

Nina added fuel to the speculation herself with a TikTok upload weeks before the split. In the video, Nina lip-synced to a video about advising women who are trying to “fix” a man. While the audio was a trend at some point, fans pointed to the line “there are 10 other women trying to fix him, too” as proof that cheating might have played a role in her split. For his part, Shaun has denied the allegations.

Since the split, both Nina and Shaun have kept busy, far away from each other. They have not been spotted in the same place since the breakup. It doesn’t look like they’ll be reconciling at any point. Nina has yet to be spotted out with a new man. She’s been working and traveling with friends.
