Olympic snowboarding champion Shaun White already has an impressive number of medals, but his surprise proposal to Nina Dobrev is worthy of a gold medal.

The couple announced they were engaged on their Instagram pages on Wednesday, with Dobrev posting photos of the couple kissing under an arch of white roses and showing off her five-carat Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring.

“RIP boyfriend, hello fiancé,” Dobrev wrote in the caption.

But the photos only tell half the story of how White pulled off an elaborate ruse to surprise Dobrev with his proposal.

According to an interview with Vogue published Wednesday, White said he enlisted the help of a team of people from the couple’s inner circle, as well as members of the publication’s staff, to help him trick Dobrev into making it appear she was invited to an intimate dinner with Anna Wintour of Vogue. .

White said he had his publicist send Dobrev a fake invitation to the event, which was to be held at the Golden Swan in New York.

Dobrev accepted the invitation and joked that White made him “look so legit.”

He even asked Dobrev’s stylist to dress her in Chanel for the event.

Dobrev said she realized what was really happening when she entered the room and saw White standing under the floral arch.

“I was in shock,” Dobrev said, later adding that White “said all the right things” before saying yes.

According to the publication, after White proposed, the couple celebrated into the wee hours of the morning with a close circle of friends and family.

“Best night of my life,” White wrote on her Instagram Story on Wednesday.

The couple first became romantically involved in 2020 and have since publicly documented their relationship, world travels and White’s Olympic farewell on their social media pages.
