Shaun White and Nina Dobrev have been in a relationship since February 2020.

Perhaps, for the snowboarding legend, it would have been like looking at a picture from the past. But his first comment on the series was that “I liked it. It was good.” On his overall experience, Shaun said, the series was “cool,” but later turned “a little dark.” In the show, Nina is involved with different co-character, and Shaun said, “I found myself really rooting for them.”

 He added, “I don’t know if that was healthy or not. But I did watch the show, and it was really funny.” Well, for Shaun it must have been like peeping into another side of Nina. Though the actual question is, what took him so long to actually watch the show?

What motivated Shaun to watch the show?

As Shaun describes it, Nina was away on a film project for three months, so he decided that the show was the only way to be with her without being with her. He said“Oh, this will be cool. I’ll start the show. I’ll see her without seeing her.” Well, it was probably a great plan, and Shaun White binged all eight seasons in one go.
