During a recent private jet trip to Switzerland, actress Nina Dobrev and her boyfriend, retired professional snowboarder Shaun White, experienced some unexpected turbulence. In a series of photos and videos shared on White's Instagram, he captured Dobrev's reaction to the bumpy ride and couldn't help but find it amusing.
In the footage, Dobrev is seen holding up her phone to record the view outside when the plane hits a sudden bump. She maintains her composure but is soon interrupted as the plane shakes even more intensely. Caught off guard, Dobrev lets out a startled scream, while White, acting as the cameraman, bursts into laughter at his girlfriend's near miss of falling out of her seat.
It seems White's amusement isn't exclusive, as their followers found the video hilarious as well. Responding to one comment about Dobrev's reaction, White humorously wrote, 'hahaha when fun isn't fun anymore…' and added three crying laughing emojis. Another user noticed White's laughter and commented on it, to which he simply responded with more laughing emojis. White also acknowledged the wildness of the plane ride in another comment.
Despite the unexpected turbulence, Dobrev and White are not deterred from their love of travel. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, White spoke fondly of their adventures together, emphasizing that Dobrev is the only person he has met who has traveled as much as he has. He expressed his admiration for her as a travel companion and said they have been exploring various destinations, from Antarctica to Indonesia.
In another interview with PEOPLE earlier this year, Dobrev revealed an additional way the couple keeps their relationship exciting after four years together. They have implemented a weekly date night tradition in which they take turns planning surprises for each other. One week, Dobrev plans the date without revealing any details, leaving her boyfriend in suspense. The following week, it's White's turn to plan, keeping Dobrev in the dark until the surprise unfolds. This consistent element of surprise brings a fresh and dynamic element to their relationship.
Despite experiencing a moment of unexpected turbulence, Nina Dobrev and Shaun White continue to enjoy their travels and keep their relationship exciting through their weekly surprise date nights. Their shared sense of adventure and ability to find humor in even the most unexpected situations bonds them further as a couple, making for an intriguing and inspiring partnership.
