Nina Dobrev’s TikTok where she jokes about “10 other women” trying to “fix” a guy surfaced just five days before the news of her breakup with Shaun White became official.
People confirmed the couple’s engagement ended on September 11—five years after White asked Dobrev to marry him on a New York City rooftop under the city lights. An insider said their decision to separate was “mutual,” and that “it wasn’t an easy one, but it was made with love and a deep respect for one another.” They’ve said nothing on the record, and no one closest to them seems willing to, either.
Fans were still reeling from seeing the couple so recently engaged when footage from Dobrev began to go viral. In the video, dated September 6, the actress lipsyncs to a TikTok sound rife with sass, all while rocking a loose Nike hoodie and no makeup.
“How do you sleep at night knowing people don’t like you? With no underwear, in case they wanna kiss my ass,” blared the auto-play on Nina Dobrev’s latest TikTok. “What’s your advice for women trying to fix their man? Listen, Bob the Builder, he’s got ten other women trying to fix him, and you all look like a damn construction crew.”

The caption? Short and to the point: “👷🏻♀️🚜🔨.” No extra words. But scroll you do, and suddenly the comments section morphs into a forensic lab for the actress’ breakup with Glen Powell. “Oh right, now this clocks,” one user admits. Another claims, “The whole beat now makes sense now after the split news.”
Neither Dobrev nor Powell has said a thing to the press. The root cause for the split stays private. What we know is this: five years of dating, engagement talk on the table, and wedding dabblings by this summer. Speaking of this summer, Powell told a mag he and Dobrev were in a “fun sort of planning phase of life” and the actress had “really become the focal point” of his life. Guess those plans got boxed up fast.
“It’s super exciting to have fresh goals and new adventures to chase after,” he shared. “There’s a mix of being humbled and being pumped about it, and she’s feeling all of it, too.”

The last public sighting of them happened on August 31 when they walked through a Los Angeles farmers’ market, fingers interlocked. A few weeks later, she graced the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, but the engagement ring was noticeably absent.
A source revealed the couple was engaged in October and noted everyone was “so happy” to hear the news. The loved-up couple was “just glowing” after the surprise proposal, the source said.
“They are a picture-perfect match—playful and adventurous, but they keep each other grounded, too,” the insider shared.
