“Not Going to Support Him Anymore”- Shaun White’s Mom Speaks Against Reversing Retirement Talks

Legendary Snowboarder Shaun White said goodbye to his competitive career post-Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022. Determined to call quits on snowboarding, Shaun had made his retirement announcement before his last Olympic quest.

However, NFL legend Tom Brady’s backflip to retirement brought up questions about other stars also returning to their astonishing careers. While Shaun fans might find it exciting, his mother isn’t ready to send his son back.

Shaun White’s Mom Wants Him to Stay Home

Despite his retirement from snowboarding, Shaun has been having a hectic schedule. First, he went on a lavish trip with his girlfriend Nina Dobrev, followed by his debut at the Oscars 2022. White was honored to become one of the presenters at the Oscars this year.

While many expected Nina to be his date for the big night, White took his mother. As the son and mother duo walked on the red carpet, they weren’t going back home without talking about White’s retirement.

When Shaun’s mother was asked about his post-retirement plans, she subtly silenced his comeback talks. Interestingly, his mother revealed she’s okay with Shaun getting a job and staying home.

”Was thinking about that because I’m not going to support him anymore. I’m really excited that he’s retired. I want him home,” she said.
