Shaun White appears to be easing back into the dating world months after ending his engagement to Nina Dobrev, but he has not put a public label on anything yet.
The retired Olympic snowboarder was recently seen spending time in New York City with model Angela Garten, sparking fresh romance speculation after his high-profile split. E! News reported that White and Garten were spotted together on June 4 during a day out that included walking through the city, riding a bike together, shopping, and sharing a hug inside a store.
The Outing Looked Cozy, but Nothing Is Official
The photos are enough to fuel dating rumors, but they are not the same as a confirmation. E! noted that neither White nor Garten has publicly addressed their relationship status, which keeps the story in “seen together” territory rather than official-couple territory.
That distinction matters because White’s breakup with Dobrev was very public. A city outing, a shared bike ride, and a hug can suggest interest, but they do not prove that White and Garten are in a committed relationship.

Us Weekly Says White Is Back in the Dating Scene
The latest sighting follows an earlier report that White had begun dating again after the end of his engagement. Us Weekly reported that White was seen with Garten on Friday, May 29, at Kiki’s Greek restaurant on the Lower East Side.
The outlet described Garten as a New York City-based model, based on her social media. It also reported that White is “getting back in the dating scene” after what one source called a very public end to his engagement.
The two New York sightings give the speculation more shape, but the facts remain limited: White and Garten have been photographed together, and neither has publicly defined the relationship.
His Split From Nina Dobrev Was Confirmed Last Fall
White and Dobrev ended their engagement in September 2025 after five years together. The breakup came less than a year after White proposed in October 2024.
People reported at the time that the split was mutual and “made with love and a deep respect for one another,” according to a source close to the former couple. Representatives for White and Dobrev did not publicly comment on the breakup then.
Dobrev Has Kept Her Own Next Chapter Mostly Private
Dobrev has not debuted a new public relationship since the split. E! noted that she has shared some cryptic social-media posts since the breakup, including TikTok videos that fans read as possible commentary on her single era.
Those posts have kept fans guessing, but Dobrev has not given a detailed public explanation of what happened between her and White. That silence is part of why any new White sighting now attracts extra attention.
The Angela Garten Photos Are Still Just Photos
White’s outing with Garten does not read like a hard-launch romance. It reads like a public step back into dating after a long relationship and broken engagement.
For now, the report is narrow: White and Garten have been seen together in New York, multiple outlets have identified her, and the photos have started a new round of speculation. Until either of them says more, it is not a confirmed new-couple reveal.
