Nina Dobrev and Shaun White may have gotten engaged back in October 2024, but when it comes to wedding planning, the pair have no rush to walk down the aisle. Since celebrating their engagement, life has been a whirlwind for the 36-year-old actress and the 38-year-old Olympic Skier.
The actress was recently in Australia filming a new project, with the holiday season starting right after. As a result, they’ve been taking their time and simply enjoying their new life chapter before their wedding.

"You have a boyfriend for half of your life and then you have a husband for half of your life but the fiancé period is very short.”
