Overview
- On November 13, Dobrev lip‑synced to Ariana Grande’s Break Free on TikTok, switching between her middle finger and bare ring finger as she mouthed “I can’t pretend anymore.”
- The post drew heavy attention from fans who read the gesture and lyrics as a pointed reference to her ended engagement to White.
- PEOPLE previously confirmed in September that the pair split after more than five years together, calling it a mutual and difficult decision.
- Reporting since the breakup has included conflicting unnamed accounts about motives, with some sources saying Dobrev wanted marriage and children and others saying both did.
- Us Weekly cited an insider who said there was no cheating during the relationship, and Dobrev later appeared at TIFF without her engagement ring.
