The "Diamonds" singer enjoyed a low-key New Year's Eve celebration this year, as she appeared to wear a bathrobe in a New York City hotel room with friends.
The Vampire Diaries alum and the professional snowboarder sparked dating rumors in February 2020 when fans noticed that they had shared similar photos from a trip to South Africa. Us Weekly broke the news the following April thatDobrev and White were, in fact, a couple.
After the twosome made their relationship Instagram official in May 2020, things continued to heat up even as they balanced their respective schedules and careers.
“We have a nice little system of how to stay in touch [and] plane tickets are pretty much booked for any opportunity that we can go see one another,” Whiteexclusively told Us in October 2021. “You just make it work. … I think that’s the goal of it all and the key to it all is just making the time. [Nina’s] super organized and on top of it, so I give it to her. She always finds a way to make it happen.”
Scroll down to see a timeline of Dobrev and White’s relationship:
The Perks of Being a Wallflower star and the X Games gold medalist shared several snaps from their South African safari in February 2020. Although they did not pose together in any of the pictures, eagle-eyed Instagram users were quick to point out that they were always in the same location.
After Dobrev shared a video of herself and the ESPY Award winner washing their groceries in April 2020, a source exclusively told Us that they were an item.
The twosome celebrated their first Thanksgiving together in November 2020. "I’m so thankful to be surrounded by so much love!!" White captioned an Instagram post featuring photos of their family gathering. "Getting older and watching my family continue to grow has been incredible. Hope everyone out there had an amazing thanksgiving!"
The pair posed for the perfect end-of-fall photo with autumn leaves as their background in December 2020. "Catch me if you can," Dobrev captioned the cute shot.
White celebrated Dobrev’s 32nd birthday by posting a series of goofy photos. “Too bad we never have any fun together …” he wrote via Instagram, adding winking, champagne and party emojis. “Happy birthday baby!”
Dobrev shared a clip via her Instagram Story on January 16 that showed her practicing at a shooting club. “When you ask him to take a video of you shooting…” she captioned the post, in which White zoomed in on her butt while she aimed the rifle.
The Olympian, who binge-watched Dobrev’s show The Vampire Diaries, exclusively told Us Weekly about their one-year anniversary celebration. “I wanted to recreate our first date, but everything was closed,” he explained. “I managed to sweet talk the owner of the place to open up for us. It was actually pretty fun to have a place all to ourselves.” He added that Dobrev can easily keep up with him on the slopes, calling her “pretty talented on the snowboard.”
“The person in this photo is the funniest, most charming, sexiest, and hardest working person I know. The other person is my boyfriend,” the actress captioned a photo of the couple on his 35th birthday via Instagram. “Happy birthday baby, thank you for always being older than me. @shaunwhite.”
The couple celebrated Halloween Queens Gambit style with the help of pal Adam Devine. While Dobrev dressed as Thomas Brodie Sangster’s Benny Watts, White put on a red wig to be Anya Taylor Joy’s Beth Harmon and the Pitch Perfect actor was a chess piece.
“Your move @anyataylorjoy ♟👑,” White captioned a series of snaps.
“LFG! Beijing babbbbbbbyyy @shaunwhite,” Dobrev gushed via her Instagram Story on January 15 after the snowboarder made the Olympic team. “So proud of you. Time to celebrate.”
The Olympian exclusively told Us about how a last-minute trip to South Africa made him realize that their romance was more than a fling. Dobrev was filming Redeeming Love in South Africa and invited White to come visit her on location.
“That was actually how we kind of started our relationship,” told Us in January 2022 while promoting his CELSIUS Energy Drink partnership. “I was like, ‘All right. Yeah. OK.’ And she [thought], ‘Oh, this guy, he came to play. He’s serious.’"
Talking is key for the couple. "The problems that we do face, they kind of fall away through communication. It’s just been great," gushed to Us ahead of the Beijing Olympics.
The Fresh Vine Wine cofounder cheered on her man as he prepared to join Team USA again. “She’s just been so incredibly supportive,” the athlete said. “She’s like, ‘Hey, I’m here to help you … how do I help you?’ It’s not about her. She’s just been so giving in that sense.”
White added that the actress has “this overwhelming kindness and care for people,” a quality that he adores. He continued, telling Us, “She wants to elevate the people around her. It’s such a beautiful thing, especially in today’s world. … To have that kind of a caring quality still is really special.”
"I am really excited for him," Nina told E!'s Daily Pop on Tuesday, January 25. "Just to get into the Olympics at all is one of the hugest accomplishments, let alone to get in five times. I'm so excited. I'm so proud of him."
“We'll be anxiously watching from home and cheering him on,” Dobrev exclusively told Us of her plans to watch White compete at the Olympics. “I'm very, very excited for him. I can't wait.”The One director revealed that she supports her boyfriend in “whatever decision he makes” after White previously claimed that the 2022 Beijing Olympics would be his last. “He’s had such an incredibly long and amazing, successful run of the sport,” she added. “He knows when the time is to throw the hat in, and he's decided that it's now.”
Dobrev praised her beau after he finished his final Olympics run in fourth place. "I am in awe of you. Today we are celebrating you," she wrote via Instagram. "Your hard work. Your passion. Your determination. Your talent. Your class. Your fearlessness. Your courage. Your soul. Your heart. YOUR LEGACY. I couldn’t be more proud. Of everything you have accomplished over the last 20 years as a competitor and the man you have become. You are one of a kind. The end of one chapter, means the beginning of another. You will forever be the G.O.A.T. of snowboarding. Not to mention you are also the G.(B).O.A.T. = Greatest Boyfriend Of All Time."
"He's home," Dobrev captioned an Instagram Story photo of her and her beau at Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles, days after his final Olympics appearance. Both wore personalized Rams jerseys. White shared a video of them enjoying Mickey Guyton's national anthem performance via his own Instagram Story.
Dobrev kicked off their Valentine's celebration with a sweet poem. "Rose’s are red violets are blue how great is it that I’m still not sick of you. I’m yours no refunds," she wrote via Instagram with a "happy valentine's day" hashtag.
"Nature finds a way …. Happy Valentine’s Day @Nina ❤️," White captioned a hilarious photo of the couple kissing through face shields.
Dobrev is to thank for White's first Super Bowl trip, which happened right after his final Olympics.
"My girlfriend said, 'If you're retiring, you've gotta make this list of things you want to do,'" White recalled during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! at the time. "Pretty close to the top of the list was, 'Go to a Super Bowl,' because it's always during the competitive season — I've never been to one. So I landed, said hi to everyone ... and went straight to the Super Bowl."
"Congratulations on a monumental career," Dobrev wrote while sharing White's letter about his final Olympic run via Instagram.
The athlete re-shared her message via his own Instagram Story, and he added some videos to reveal how he's spending retirement. He and his girlfriend were enjoying some warm weather at what appeared to be a lake.
White showed Dobrev's dog following him on a dock to see his love, who was floating on a paddle board in the water. "Retirement," he captioned the peaceful clip.
White opened up about watching Dobrev on The Vampire Diaries while answering fan questions on TikTok. "I wasn’t going to see her for, like, three months so I was like, 'Oh, this will be cool, I’ll start the show.' I’ll see her without seeing her," he explained. "It was cool, but it got a little dark. She was, like, the love interest of all the guys on the show and I found myself really rooting for them. I’m like, 'Am I in the way?' I don’t know if that was healthy or not, but I did watch the show and it was really funny."
The duo partied in the desert for Coachella Music Festival weekend two. “Coachella and back. @worldofmark thanks for the ride 🤝,” White wrote via Instagram after the event.
The retired athlete joined Dobrev in Greece while she was in town filming a new movie. “I’ll be zooming from here today, and forever. c u never,” she captioned a series of ocean-filled photos. Dobrev later shared snaps with White sipping Tiki drinks on one of the Greek islands.
The duo stepped out in London for the Top Gun: Maverick premiere to support pal Miles Teller and Dobrev’s ex-boyfriend Glen Powell. The event marked the actress and the athlete’s first red carpet as a couple.
Days after their red carpet debut, the duo headed to France to attend another glamorous event, a charity gala for Ukrainian refugees. The lovebirds struck a pose at the Hollywood Domino's With Love For Peace Gala in partnership with PCI Media and USA for UNHCR (the United Nations Refugee Agency).
The happy couple attended the Cannes Film Festival together. “Cannes you believe it ,” the Olympian captioned an Instagram photo of him and Dobrev dressed up for the event. "At times I Cannes not," the Degrassi alum commented.
"Schedule for the next week: eat. sleep. burn. apply aloe. repeat," the Perks of Being a Wallflower actress captioned a series of Instagram photos from her and White's vacation to the Maldives. Before their arrival, they enjoyed a layover in Dubai.
The couple enjoyed a star-studded double date night with Miles and Keleigh Teller at a UFC fight night in Las Vegas, which Dobrev chronicled in a TikTok video that included appearances from Chris Pratt and Shaquille O'Neal.
Since competing in the Winter Olympics in February 2022, White exclusively told Us that in addition to travelling around the world and continuing to snowboard, he passed on some special skills to his love. “I’m teaching Nina how to surf currently. She’s so talented as a snowboarder, which is great, because I’ve been in past relationships when they couldn’t snowboard and I’m a terrible coach. I’m like, ‘You just do it!’” the athlete revealed. "But now she’s got the surfing bug. She’s excited about it, so now we’re trying to find places we can go surf and vacation and hang … She caught like seven waves in Hawaii and it was like she was feeling it, yeah!”
The lovebirds attended their pals Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams' wedding together. "Congratulations on your beautiful wedding day," White captioned a carousel of Instagram photos from the nuptials.
The Final Girls actress celebrated her beau's birthday with a lighthearted Instagram post. "I really picked a winner (and he really picked a booger). Happy belated birthday, you weirdo. My weirdo," she captioned a photo of White with his finger up her nose.
Us confirmed that the pair moved in together in New York City, with a source exclusively revealing that White and Dobrev were "excited to explore the city together" and "soak up all the alone time they can" before their schedules get even busier.
White proved the couple still had their sense of humor by posting a video reacting to his girlfriend’s Degrassi: The Next Generation scene where her character, Mia, tries out for the cheerleading squad.
The clip, which is a duet with Dobrev, starts with White watching the scene unfold before he starts following along with the Vampire Diaries alum's character.
The Olympic medalist busts out some cheer moves and kicks up his legs exactly like Nina before asking, “Did I make the team?”
"They’ve definitely discussed making things official,” an insider exclusively told Us. “They’ve talked about getting married, having kids, the whole nine yards.” The pair feel like "this is the year they take their relationship to the next level," the source said.
Dobrev and White stepped out in style at the 2024 Prelude to the Olympics, held at Paris’ Fondation Louis Vuitton.
“The tension that’s at the Olympics, it’s like you feel it. It’s this thick kind of air,” White previously told Us in May of attending the Games after his retirement. “When you walk into any one of the stadiums where they’re competing, you feel that sort of pressure and that excitement.”
At the time, he speculated that Dobrev’s excellent French language skills would come in handy. (Dobrev’s mom lives in the South of France.)
Former presidentJimmy Carterdied on Sunday, December 29. He was 100.
“My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love,” Carter’s son Chip said in a statement released via his eponymous Carter Center. “My brothers, sister and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honoring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.”
Carter became the longest-living former president in U.S. history in March 2019 when he surpassed the late George H.W. Bush, who died in November 2018 at 94 years and 171 days old. Carter and his wife of 76 years, Rosalynn Carter, were also the longest-married first couple, surpassing Bush and Barbara Bush.
Prior to his death, the Carter Center, the former president’s foundation, announced in February 2023 that he was entering hospice care.
“After a series of short hospital stays, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter today decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention,” the statement read. “He has the full support of his family and his medical team.”
The politician battled numerous health issues in the final years of his life. He announced in December 2015 that he was cancer-free, months after metastatic melanoma spread throughout his body, including to his brain. Three and a half years later, he underwent surgery for a broken hip. Jimmy suffered two more falls at his Georgia home in October 2019. Despite having to get 14 stitches above his left eye as a result of the first fall, he traveled to Nashville to work with Habitat for Humanity volunteers and helped build a home. In November 2019, he was admitted to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta to undergo a procedure to relieve pressure on his brain, caused by bleeding due to his recent falls.
Jimmy, who was the first U.S. president to be born in a hospital, grew up in Plains, Georgia, with three siblings: Gloria, Ruth and Billy Carter. He studied at Georgia Southwestern College and the Georgia Institute of Technology before being admitted to the Naval Academy in 1943. He met Rosalynn, who had been friends with his sister Ruth, while attending the academy. The couple married in 1946 after Jimmy’s graduation. He later became a member of the U.S. Navy in the submarine program before leaving active duty in 1953 to take over his family’s peanut business in Georgia in the wake of his father’s death.
As an active member of the Democratic Party, Jimmy decided to run for office in the early 1960s. He served in the Georgia State Senate from 1963 to 1967. Three years later, he was elected governor.
During that time, the civil rights activist and evangelical Christian was not widely known outside of his home state. However, he managed to secure a nomination in the 1976 presidential election and went on to defeat incumbent Republican president Gerald Ford to become the 39th POTUS.

Jimmy got to work right away, pardoning Vietnam War draft dodgers on his second day in the White House. During his four years in office, he established the Department of Energy and the Department of Education, in addition to making an energy policy his top domestic priority. In foreign affairs, Jimmy found success with his mediation of the Camp David Accords.
Despite his achievements, Jimmy faced many challenges as commander in chief. He infamously delivered what would come to be known as the “Crisis of Confidence” speech in 1979, in which he blamed the country’s problems on the poor spirit of its citizens. He also struggled to enact legislation due to his oft-tempestuous relationship with Congress. In the final stretch of his presidency, he came under fire for the way he handled the Iranian hostage crisis, in which dozens of Americans were held captive for 444 days.
Jimmy ran for re-election in 1980, but Ronald Reagan won the popular and electoral votes.
After leaving the Oval Office in 1981, Jimmy received a great deal of praise for his humanitarian work. He worked extensively with Habitat for Humanity and founded the Carter Center human rights organization. In 2002, Jimmy was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in finding peace in international conflicts.
Prior to his death, the Faith author made arrangements to be buried in front of his Georgia home.
Jimmy is survived by his and Rosalynn’s children — sons Jack, James and Donnel and daughter Amy — and more than 20 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
While the rapper did not appear in the Netflix livestream Wednesday, a fan spotted him at NRG Stadium in Houston with the couple's 7-year-old daughter, Rumi.
Immediately after wrapping her Christmas Day performance, Queen Bey took to social media to share a video of herself waving an American flag while on horseback.
Malik was the first to do so after abruptly leaving the boy band in March 2015. He subsequently signed a solo contract with RCA Records, and released his debut album, Mind of Mine, the following year.
Styles followed suit in June 2016, re-signing with Columbia Records and dropping his self-titled debut in May 2017. Horan, meanwhile, inked a deal with Capitol Records in September 2016, and released his first album, Flicker, in October 2017.
Payne and Tomlinson, meanwhile, put out a series of singles before releasing their debut albums LP1 and Walls in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Despite parting ways, the former boy banders remained in touch over the years and even reunited at Payne’s funeral in November 2024 funeral. (Paye died at age 31 one month prior after falling from a third story hotel balcony in Argentina.)
“We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing,” the remaining members wrote in a joint statement in October 2024. “The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever.”
