Shaun White, 39, and Nina Dobrev, 36, have called off their engagement, People magazine reports.
A source tells the publication, "It was a mutual decision, and wasn’t an easy one, but it was made with love and a deep respect for one another."
The Olympic snowboarder and the “Vampire Diaries” actress, who dated for five years, were spotted holding hands in L.A. on August 31.
Nina, however, hit the red carpet at the “Eternity” premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival without Shaun… and without her engagement ring on September 7.
