Shaun White has cleared up speculation that he is engaged to his Vampire Diaries girlfriend Nina Dobrev, revealing that the two are "just enjoying our time together".

The five-time Olympian attended the Oasis Celsius Vibe House in Indio, California on Friday April 14 and when asked if an engagement is in the cards for him and Nina, Shaun was not shy about their romance.

"We're just enjoying our time together right now. No pressure," the 36-year-old told People. "But I told her, I was like, 'Look, after the Olympics, I finally got my freedom to do whatever and let's just have fun and be together and support each other'.

"But you never know. We'll see what happens," he coyly added.

Snowboarding champion Shaun performed in his final Winter Olympics in 2022 and Nina left a sweet message for her beau after he posted a picture with teammates Chase Josey, Lucas Foster, and Taylor Gold, and captioned the post: "Let the games begin!! So incredibly proud to represent @TeamUSA. Let’s go!"

"GO TEAM GO!!!" commented Nina, and Shaun liked the comment, as did many others.

The 2022 Games were his fifth Olympics. Shaun won halfpipe golds at the 2006, 2010 and 2018 Games, but sadly  missed out a podium finish in 2022 after finishing fourth.

Nina and Shaun were first linked in early 2020 and are still going strong over three years later. The 34-year-old welcomed fans into her West Hollywood home in 2022 and shared that the pair had taken on the mammoth task of painting the whole exterior of the home bright white to replace its original mustard yellow hue.

"I always wanted to paint it white and for the first time I found myself having no excuse, and my boyfriend and I painted the whole exterior of the house ourselves and it took forever," she said, referring to beau Shaun.

The Love Hard star and Shaun live in a four-bedroom Spanish-style property that she completely revamped during the height of the pandemic last year.
