Shaun White is ready to jump back into the dating pool following his split from fiancée Nina Dobrev.
Us Weekly has learned that White, 39, is “getting back in the dating scene after a very public end to his engagement.”
The Olympic snowboarder was spotted on a date last week in New York City, sparking rumors that he is back on the market.
Us has since learned that the mystery woman White went out with on Friday, May 29, is Angela Garten, a model living in New York City, according to her social media.
White was photographed with Garten on Friday eating at Kiki’s Greek restaurant on the Lower East Side.
The retired athlete was seen wearing a white tank top, black pants and sunglasses, according to pictures obtained by TMZ. Garten, for her part, wore an oversized button-up shirt, jeans and gold hoop earrings with her own pair of large sunglasses.
White’s foray back into the dating pool comes less than nine months after he split from Dobrev, 37.
