In celebrity relationship news we didn't see coming, Nina Dobrev and Shaun White might be dating.
Social distancing has been putting relationships to the test [1], but what about individuals who went on dates shortly before the lockdown? Do you isolate together, à la The Bachelor's Peter Weber and Kelley Flanagan [2]? Or is it more realistic to reconnect once it's safe to step outside again? From the looks of social media, it looks like Nina and Shaun sticking it out together.
The Vampire Diaries actor and Olympic snowboarder were spotted biking [3] along the trails in Malibu about a month ago and more recently, Shaun was photographed leaving Nina's home. While neither celebrity has confirmed their relationship, Nina's Instagram has hinted that the couple has chosen to spend this period of time together. Inspired by Dakota Johnson's cleaning groceries how-to guide on Instagram, Nina took to her own account to share her safety tricks [4] as well. In her video, it's obvious Nina is receiving help from someone else who has freckles and an inner forearm tattoo. Looking closely, we can see some red hair making an appearance at the end too. Sounds a bit like Shaun if you ask us.

Previously, Nina dated director Grant Mellon; however, her on-again-off-again relationship with Vampire Diaries costar Ian Somerhalder [7], is what most fans may remember. As for Shaun, the athlete was formally involved with singer Sarah Barthel. Their relationship ended mid-2019.
