Wait, Did Y’all Know That Nina Dobrev, Kendall Jenner, & Shaun White Are Friends?

Kendall Jenner is turning her breakup with Bad Bunny into a reason for a snowboarding trip and honestly, we love that for her. The internet has been in a frenzy over the wintertime besties trip, which includes celebs like Hailey and Justin Bieber, Nina Dobrev, Shaun White, and Jenner. Where’s my invite?

On the trip, Jenner took to Instagram to share videos of White doing flips and snowboarding tricks, while she attempted some smaller jumps tagging both Dobrev and White. Later, she was spotted doing some shopping in Aspen with Hailey Bieber. And obviously, the internet is losing their minds over this snowboarding trip and the not-so-subtle tags on Jenner’s Instagram story — especially when it comes to Dobrev and White. 

The trip is taking place just days after Kenner’s breakup with music star Bad Bunny. Rumors of Jenner’s relationship with the singer first sparked in February before a series of public sightings, including sitting courtside at NBA games and attending a Met Gala after-party. The couple was last seen in October leaving a Saturday Night Live after-party following Bad Bunny hosting and performing as the show’s musical guest. And while neither confirmed the relationship some eagle-eyed fans noticed that Bad Bunny started wearing a little “K” necklace, which many speculated was for Kendall. But after only 10 months together, sources have shared that the relationship just “fizzled.” And it seems that Jenner is leaning on her friends to help heal her broken heart. She’s just like me for real.

While we know all about Bieber and Jenner’s friendship, the internet has another question in mind: how long have Kendall Jenner, Nina Dobrev, and Shaun White been friends?

January 2015: Dobrev and Jenner are photographed together in Los Angeles.

The pair was first photographed at the Nine Zero One Salon Melrose Place Launch Party. Other notable celebs in attendance were Julianne Hough, Vanessa Lachey, and Ashley Tisdale.

February 2019: Jenner Joins in on a selfie at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party.

Then, in 2019, Kendall Jenner appeared in a selfie that Dobrev was taking with Ellie Goulding, Julianne Hough, and Zedd at the Vanity Fair Oscars party. Safe to say they remained friends since 2015!

April 2020: Shaun White and Dobrev go Instagram official.

Although the post doesn’t show White’s face, fans were able to recognize the Olymian’s tattoos in this hilarious video, which Jenner liked. Seems like Jenner was a supporter since day one ( me too, TBH).

December 2023: Dobrev, White, Jenner, and others head to Aspen.

On Dec. 19, Jenner was spotted in Aspen with Dobrev, White, and the Biebers for a holiday snowboarding trip. From hitting the slopes to shopping together, it looks as though this crew is having a great time.

Is this friendship here to stay? Or are they just getting cozy for the winter? Here’s to hoping this is a friend group that lasts!
