Whitetold PEOPLEthat he and Dobrev moved in together at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and quickly busied themselves with projects around their home.
“We went to the hardware store [and] bought a bunch of paint, and brushes and definitely got in over our heads, but it was really fun,” he said, adding, “Nina’s just been so supportive and so amazing through this whole process for me. Through the pandemic, she was a lifesaver — she really made that time in my life special.”
