White holes are a theoretical possibility, however, most astronomers do not expect to actually find white holes in our universe.
Explanation:
A white hole is the theoretical opposite of a black hole, where instead of matter being trapped, it is spewed out into space. The idea of white holes comes from Einstein's general theory of relativity. Although physics does not forbid the existence of white holes, they are expected to be incredibly unstable, and would likely not last very long.
This video describes the theory of white holes and why they are strongly considered to be hypothetical.
