Nina Dobrev has turned a brand-new page in the book of her life. After news broke on September 11 confirming the split between the "Vampire Diaries" alum and Shaun White, Nina made her return to social media, offering a heartwarming glimpse into her current state of being. On September 17, Nina posted a photo on her Instagram Story, where she is seen cozily snuggling with a baby and a toddler, whose face is playfully concealed by a white heart emoji. Dressed in an all-black athletic ensemble, the 36-year-old actress left the image caption-less, yet her gentle smile as she cradled the little ones spoke volumes, revealing that she is doing just fine.
As for Shaun, he had already re-emerged on social media a few days prior, sharing that he was navigating the early days of his single life through travel. "Here in Beijing for the first time since the 2022 Games," Shaun penned in a September 15 Instagram post. "Feeling a bit nostalgic and excited to bring @thesnowleague back this December!" Although Nina and Shaun had been in a relationship since 2020 and confirmed their engagement last October, E! News reported that they had parted ways earlier that month.
Despite Nina including several intimate moments with Shaun in a summer photo montage shared just days before their split was confirmed, she had hinted at her impending single era on September 5 with a cryptic TikTok post. "How do you sleep at night knowing people don't like you?" Nina mouthed in a voiceover clip on the video-sharing platform. "With no underwear, in case they wanna kiss my ass." Nina then went on to criticize women who try to "fix" their men. "Listen, Bob the Builder, he's got 10 other women trying to fix him too," the "Perks of Being a Wallflower" alum continued, "and you all look like a damn construction crew."
The former couple frequently shared the highlights of their relationship on social media, but Shaun also acknowledged that the apps only captured them at their "best." "Behind the curtain, like any relationship, we've had our struggles," Shaun wrote in a November 2024 post. "But it's our ability to communicate and repair that keeps us moving forward together."
