Nina Dobrev, 36, posted a cryptic TikTok video just days before calling off her engagement to Shaun White following five years together

SHAUN WHITE'S SHOCKING SPLIT: Did Nina Dobrev's Cryptic TikTok Reveal the Reason Behind Their Break-Up?

In a stunning turn of events, Olympic gold medalist Shaun White and actress Nina Dobrev have parted ways just five months after his romantic candlelit proposal. But what led to their sudden break-up? We've got the tea!

According to insiders, the couple's different priorities were the main reason behind their split. "Shaun is retired from snowboarding and has been focusing on being a husband and father," a source spilled to The Scholarly Note. "He was ready to settle down and start a family with Nina, but she was still focused on her acting career." Ouch!

It was revealed on Thursday that the actress called it quits from the former pro snowboarder after he popped the big question back in October 2024; former couple seen in July 2024 in Paris

But that's not all - it seems the couple had different visions for their future together. While Shaun was eager to become a husband and father, Nina was more interested in exploring her options as an actress. "Nina has been very clear about her goals and aspirations, and she wanted to see where her career would go before settling down," the insider revealed.

The breakup news comes just days after Dobrev uploaded a cryptic TikTok video that's left fans speculating about the reason behind their split. In the clip, the actress is seen lip-syncing to a question about how people can sleep at night when they're disliked, and her response? "With no underwear, in case they wanna kiss my a**."

The caption features a series of emojis, including a construction worker, tractor, and hammer - which some fans are interpreting as a nod to the couple's impending split. One user wrote: "Well this video makes sense now after the split news," while another commented: "Is this her telling us why they broke up?"

Then the question, 'What's your advice for women trying to fix their man?' was head and Dobrev once again lip-synced the answer

But what does Dobrev have to say about their breakup? Not much... yet! The actress has been quiet on social media, but a source close to the couple revealed that the split was "mutual and made with love and a deep respect for one another." Talk about a classy exit!

As fans know, Dobrev and White's relationship has been a whirlwind romance. They first met in 2020, and over the years, they've shared plenty of sweet moments on social media - from cuddling on beaches to supporting each other's careers.

In January 2024, Dobrev gushed about their weekly date nights, saying: "One week I'll plan it and he won't have any idea what we're doing so it's a surprise for him. And then the following week, he'll plan and it'll be a complete surprise for me." Aw!

'Listen, Bob the Builder, he's got 10 other women trying to fix him too, and you all look like a d**n construction crew,' she lip-synced

But now that they've parted ways, fans are left wondering - what happened? Was it the different priorities, or something more? One thing's for sure: their breakup is leaving everyone talking.
