Shaun White Opens Up About Incredible Relationship With Nina Dobrev In New Interview

Shaun White opened up with PEOPLE about his relationship with Nina Dobrev. The Olympian is currently training for his fifth Olympics when the outlet asked about their relationship.

Shaun, from his training grounds in Switzerland, stated, “It’s been incredible, honestly. Nina’s incredible. What an influence on my life. Not only does she run her own show, her own world, companies she’s involved in, things she’s producing, all this stuff going on. She holds me to this same high standard which is so wonderful to have in a partner.”

As he prepares for his next, and potentially last Olympic run, Shaun spoke about the difficulties they have faced with their busy scheduled, including trying to visit one another during this pandemic age. He stated, “That was probably one of the toughest things because I couldn’t get into Canada. I tried. I was turned around. I was like, ‘C’mon I was at the Olympics here. You remember? I cut my hair.’ It’s challenging, it’s hard. But it’s one of those things where we have a nice little system of how to stay in touch. Plane tickets are pretty much booked for any opportunity to see one another. I know during the holidays we’re going to meet up around Christmastime. Anything that happens in between then, I’ll jet over and see her. You just make it work, that’s just the goal and key to it all.”

Hopefully, the two will be able to spend the holidays together!
