00:00Nina Dobrev and Sean White have officially gone their separate ways after five years together.
00:06The actress and the Olympic snowboarder, who confirmed their engagement last October, have reportedly called it off.
00:12A source told People the breakup was a mutual decision, not an easy one, but made with quote,
00:18love and a deep respect for one another.
00:21Fans first started to wonder if something was up when Nina hit the Toronto International Film Festival red carpet,
00:26just days before the news broke.
00:28She's stunned in a sleek black silk gown and silver stilettos, but one major accessory was missing.
00:36Her 5-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond engagement ring.
00:39Not only that, but she quietly unpinned her engagement photos from Instagram, further fueling speculation.
00:46It was a sharp change from just a few days earlier when she posted photos on Instagram where the ring was still front and center.
00:53The couple was also last spotted together at the end of August, running errands in Los Angeles.
00:58Their engagement had been a fairytale moment.
01:01Sean popped the question at New York's Golden Swan Restaurant, filling the room with flowers,
01:06before presenting Nina with the oval-cut diamond ring.
01:10Nina later told Vogue she went into shock, saying,
01:13I just froze and stared at him.
01:15The two then celebrated with close friends over champagne, caviar, dumplings, and even Shake Shack.
01:21The romance itself started back in 2019, when they met at a Tony Robbins event.
01:27By May of 2020, Nina made their relationship Instagram official, with a hard-launch post.
01:33Over the years, Sean openly spoke about wanting to start a family,
01:37and the couple often looked inseparable on red carpets and social media.
01:41While the reason for their split remains unclear, one thing's certain, the ring didn't mean a thing.
