Shaun White and Nina Dobrev are "excited" to plan their wedding. The loved-up couple got engaged in 2024, and they've recently relished the experience of planning their wedding together. Shaun, 38, told People: "It's very exciting to have new aspirations and new things that we're going after and together. It's very humbling and very exciting, and she's excited. "We've gotten a lot of advice from different people who have planned their own weddings and things. So we're definitely gathering information and now trying to see what's going to work best for us in any way." Shaun has actually had "fun" planning their big day, and their "next chapter" as a couple. The former Olympian shared: "It's like you took that next step and yeah, it's just a fun sort of planning phase of life. "Like, 'What's the next steps, and the next chapter and where do we want to be?' It's fun. It's fun to have somebody to plan all that with." The celebrity duo are currently on the lookout for a wedding planner, to help them with their preparations for their big day. Shaun hopes that the planner can ultimately "bring [their] ideas to life". The retired sports star said: "We're still just looking for a planner to plan the wedding. "I'm not capable of this and luckily, like, I want to be involved, but logistically I'm not, it's not my strong suit. So I think visually I'm getting involved with what I want, but we're still looking for someone to help bring our ideas to life." Nina and Shaun began dating in 2020, and the couple announced their engagement in October 2024. Nina previously revealed to Vogue magazine that they got engaged in New York City in late October. Recalling Shaun's proposal, the 36-year-old actress confessed: "I went into shock. I just froze and stared at him." Shaun - who is a three-time Olympic gold medallist in half-pipe snowboarding - popped the question with a five carat diamond ring. Shaun actually managed to catch his fiancee by surprise. Nina - who previously dated Ian Somerhalder, her former 'Vampire Diaries' co-star - recalled: "He said all the right things."

"When you understand somebody in their complete context, I feel like that's when you really know them." Meanwhile, actress - who starred on 'Sex and the City' throuhgout its original run from 1998 until 2004 and has appeared on the spin-off since its inception in 2021 - recently saw her alter-ego have a dalliance with a character played by Rosie O'Donnell, and explained that the writers had been trying to get the famed comedienne on board for years. "Michael Patrick King, who writes our show, and is one of the chief writers on our show, has been trying to write a part for Rosie every season and it's never quite worked out.

With all our fingers and toes crossed.' "She is so funny and she is so funny in the part, but she's so centered and so real. "I think that we knew she would be hilarious, but I think we were unprepared for how moving she would be in the part, how incredibly sincere and how much she would wear her heart on her sleeve."

Nick Offerman reveals Parks and Recreation cast were 'texting all day' after Jonathan Joss' death
The 'Parks and Recreation' cast have been texting "all day" after Jonathan Joss' death. The actor - who had a recurring role as Chief Ken Hotate in the hit sitcom between 2011 and 2015 - died in a shooting in San Antonio on Saturday (31.05.25) aged 59, and his former castmates have been rocked by the devastating news. 'Parks and Recreation' star Nick Offerman told PEOPLE magazine in a statement: "The cast has been texting together about it all day and we're just heartbroken. 'Jonathan was such a sweet guy and we loved having him as our Chief Ken Hotate. A terrible tragedy.' As well as Offerman, the show starred big names like Amy Poehler, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott, Aubrey Plaza and Rashida Jones. Joss was also known for voicing the part of John Redcorn in animated series 'King of the Hill'. After his tragic death, police in San Antonio confirmed that the shooter, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, fled the scene in a vehicle, before being detained by officers and booked for murder. Tristan Kern de Gonzales - Joss' husband - explained on Facebook: "My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. "Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. "When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. "While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. "Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. "Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. "He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. "I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. (sic)"
