The Degrassi star recently surprised Shaun with a trip to Costa Rica after announcing his retirement following his final Winter Olympics in Beijing. “Nina has been having an amazing time with Shaun these past few weeks. Of course, Shaun discussed the idea of retiring with Nina before making any public announcements. Nina let Shaun know she’s completely on board with whatever decision he makes and that she’s proud of him no matter what,” the insider continued.
“Nina feels like Shaun is still so young and that the possibilities are endless at this point. She’s completely confident that he’ll make the right choice for himself whatever he ends up doing and she’s blown away by all of his accomplishments already. Nina loves that Shaun is taking some time for self-care and to just relax for a bit and enjoy the fruit of his hard work. Nina expects that Shaun will absolutely work again, whether that be returning to the snow or not, she has his back completely.”
The actress and three-time Olympic gold medalist managed to maintain a low-profile when they first began dating back in 2019 after meeting at an event organized by motivational speaker Tony Robbins. The pair moved in together at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and have been inseparable since.
