White, the five-time Olympian, posted photos of the proposal on his Instagram account on Wednesday, Oct. 30. He knelt in front of Dobrev, who covered her mouth in surprise. The happy couple then kissed in front of a flower-covered arch.
Another photo in the post provided a look at the five-carat Lorraine Schwartz ring donned by the former "The Vampire Diaries" star.
According to Vogue, the surprise proposal was in the works for quite some time. White nearly proposed over the summer. He also considered popping the question during a trip to South Africa.
However, his attempts to make this a surprise led to him selecting an evening at The Golden Swan restaurant in New York City.
The proposal was only the start of the evening. Dobrev and White told Vogue that friends joined them for caviar and champagne at the restaurant. They also ordered Shake Shack as they celebrated until 1 a.m.
The happy couple began dating back in 2019, but they did not go "Instagram official" until 2020. Although there were hints that indicated they were an item. For example, they were out riding bikes together in Malibu, and then an arm that appeared to be White's appeared in a video of Dobrev washing vegetables.
The couple ultimately moved in together and have remained together ever since. They have highlighted their adventures around the world on social media. They adventured in Montana, played in the snow in Colorado, celebrated at Coachella, attended fancy parties in the British Virgin Islands, and marked important birthdays in Indonesia.
The happy couple even spent time at the 2024 Paris Olympics with seven-time Formula One World Drivers' Champion Lewis Hamilton and music icon Snoop Dogg.
