Nina Dobrev's Cryptic TikTok Fuels Speculation About Broken Engagement

On November 13, 2025, actress Nina Dobrev, 36, posted a cryptic TikTok video that has her fans buzzing about the aftermath of her broken engagement to Shaun White, 39. In the video, Dobrev lip-synced to Ariana Grande's "Break Free," at one point holding up her middle finger to the camera. As the lyrics "Tried to hide it, fake it, I can't pretend anymore" played, Dobrev put down her middle finger and revealed her now-bare ring finger, suggesting her engagement to White has ended.

Dobrev and White had gotten engaged in October 2024 after four years of dating. However, Us Weekly confirmed in September 2025 that the pair had called off their engagement. While neither Dobrev nor White have spoken publicly about the split, fans have speculated that Dobrev's latest TikTok video is a dig at her ex-fiancé.

Fans have been supportive of Dobrev, with one commenting, "You are too much of a baddie to have dealt with someone who did not value you. So glad you see your worth." Others have jokingly compared Dobrev's video to her Vampire Diaries character, Elena Gilbert, "turning off her humanity" to deal with the breakup.
