It seems to be a big step for Nina, who tends to keep her love life off-the-radar. An insider told E! News, “Nina doesn't take sharing her personal life very lightly, but it shows how happy and secure she is with Shaun and their relationship that she is willing to take this step.”
The insider noted that they started to “ease into a relationship” after spending New Year's Eve together, but things “really accelerated” during the COVID-19 pandemic. They said, “After spending weeks together during quarantine, Nina and Shaun have made it clear to their friends that they are a serious couple."
Earlier this month, a source told People about Nina and Shaun's budding romance, “Their friends were surprised at first about the relationship but now that they've seen them together it actually makes a lot of sense. They're both goofy and have a similar sense of humor and are super adventurous. They have plenty in common."
A third pal told Us Weekly, “Shaun and Nina have really been enjoying quarantining and living together. They're super compatible and both free-spirited people. They're very comfortable around each other and both supportive of one another in their fields.”
