When Olympic snowboarding legend Shaun White isn’t shredding powder, he’s apparently quite the cyclist—at least when there’s good company involved. The athlete was spotted tooling around New York City on his bike Thursday with model Angela Garten, and the two looked absolutely inseparable as they cruised through town on what appeared to be a casual shopping spree.
The chemistry between them was impossible to miss. While Shaun’s known for his athletic prowess on the slopes, these photos suggest he’s equally smooth navigating city streets with a new romantic interest. Angela, a model with obvious charm and style, seemed perfectly content holding tight as they made their way around NYC, painting a picture of two people genuinely enjoying each other’s company.
This outing marks the couple’s second public appearance together, coming just a week after they were first spotted on a lunch date. The timing is telling: Shaun split from his ex-fiancée Nina Dobrev last September after five years together, and sources have indicated he wasn’t actively searching for anything serious in the aftermath. Yet here we are, watching him light up with someone new.
What’s particularly interesting is how quickly Shaun seems to have moved from recovery mode into genuine enjoyment of dating again. The casual nature of these outings—a bike ride, some shopping—suggests he’s taking things slow rather than diving headfirst into anything. That measured approach might be exactly what he needs after a long-term relationship. Still, if these photos are any indication, Angela’s definitely making a compelling case for more rides together.
