Shaun White and Nina Dobrev have called it quits after five years together.
White, a professional snowboarder and three-time Olympic gold medalist, and Dobrev, an actor best known for her portrayal of Elena Gilbert on “The Vampire Diaries,” have ended their engagement and romantic relationship, People reported Thursday.
Though details on the split are scarce, People cites a source close to the couple who said “it was a mutual decision, and wasn’t an easy one, but it was made with love and a deep respect for one another.”
Representatives for White and Dobrev did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s requests for comment.
The news came as a surprise to many fans, given that White and Dobrev were photographed walking hand in hand Aug. 31 in Los Angeles. Dobrev also included a photo of herself relaxing in bed with White in a carousel of end-of-summer images on Instagram.
