The complete timeline of Mondo Duplantis and Desiré Inglander's relationship

Best wishes and congratulations to our favourite Scandi couple Desiré Inglander and Mondo Duplantis. On Wednesday 9th October, the pair got engaged on set with *Vogue Scandinavia*.

While they have many years ahead of them and a (no doubt) beautiful wedding to plan, we take this time to reflect upon their relationship. Over four years we have watched them become ‘Insta-official’, break world records and become bona fide fashion darlings. Join us as we venture down memory lane in commemoration of their engagement

According to the couple's June 2024 feature with Vogue Scandinavia, it was during a Midsummer party four years ago that the couple met. According to Inglander, she was “very single and not ready to mingle.” Having just graduated from high school, the model and internet star wanted to do her own thing. This attitude, however, did not deter Duplantis from trying to woo her. “The problem was, people flirt in a very different way in Sweden than from where I’m from,” he said in the same article. “[Where I’m from] there’s a lot more talking – you talk for a long time. So at the part I was just trying to talk to Desiré, like ‘Hey, what’s up, I’m Mondo…’ but she didn’t want anything to do with it or me. She just wanted to dance.”

After managing to secure Inglander’s Snapchat handle, Duplantis kept up his attempts to take the model on a date. After months of trying he simply told her “I leave in a few weeks for the United States. Let me take you on a date. Just say yes.” And the rest, as they say, is history.

A big day (in Gen Z terms, anyway) was the day the couple went Instagram official. Inglander posted to her 'main grid' a mirror selfie of the two of them in an embrace, captioned simply with the red heart emoji. Duplantis echoed the sentiment a month later, with a photo of him and Inglander at a sporting event. Captioned ‘Du vet’ (You know) the couple were internet official.

A lot can change in a year, and that is certainly the case for this Scandi couple. 365 days on from their first meeting – a time of somewhat disinterest from Inglander and perseverance from Duplantis – the couple celebrated another Midsummer together, but this time, together.

Inglander posts a sweet message, wishing Duplantis luck at his first official Olympic Games in Tokyo. It was at these games he won his first Olympic gold in pole vaulting.

The duo recreated their first Midsummer photo for Instagram, two years on from their meeting.

Inglander and Duplantis charge into the first full year of their relationship. They pair up with brands such as Omega and Red Bull, proving they are stronger together. The Swedish model continues to follow Duplantis, supporting him as he sets record after record, capturing hearts as he charges into the crowd to celebrate his victories with her.

Foregoing the annual re-creation photo, the couple celebrates their third Midsummer as a pairing (but their fourth in total).

Off to the Olympics again. In Paris, Desiré travelled to support Duplantis as he once again set a world record, bringing home gold for Sweden. As always, the two shared a celebratory kiss, but this one went viral, skyrocketing the pair into the limelight.
