In Pictures: Mondo Duplantis’ fiancee Desiré Inglander shares glimpses of the couple's offseason together

Mondo Duplantis and his fiancee Desiré Inglander have established themselves as a power couple in the sporting world. They regularly share insights into their lives together with fans. Most recently, Inglander shared snaps of how the duo spent October together while proclaiming her love for the month.

At only 24 years old, Duplantis is one of the best pole vaulters to have ever graced the sport. The Swede has already won two Olympic and World Championships golds and is currently the world indoor and outdoor record holder, having broken his own outdoor record ten times.

The pole vaulter met his fiancee Desiré Inglander four years ago, and the duo have quickly become inseparable. Inglander is often spotted on the sidelines as Duplantis competes, cheering him on.

Most recently, fans got an inside look into Mondo Duplantis and his fiancee’s life together as Inglander took to Instagram to share snaps of how the duo spent their October. She captioned the photos,

“October, I love you.”

While Mondo Duplantis and Desiré Inglander are inseparable now, the pole vaulter revealed that it wasn't always that way. The duo first ran into each other at a Midsommar party in 2020, when Inglander wasn't particularly keen on getting to know Duplantis,

“The problem was, people flirt in a very different way in Sweden than where I’m from. .[Where I’m from] there’s a lot more talking, you talk for a long time. So at the party, 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,” the Swede told Vogue.

The two later connected on Snapchat, but Inglander revealed that she didn't want to go on a date, explaining,

\“I was 19, I’d never been on a date and I couldn’t imagine anything worse than eating with a person that I didn’t know. And in English,” she said in the same interview

Duplantis finally convinced Inglander to give him a chance when he said he would return to America in a few days.

“Finally. I just sent her a message more or less saying, ‘I leave in a few weeks for the United States. Let me take you on a date. Just say yes’,” he said.

Mondo Duplantis and Desiré Inglander got engaged in October when the pole vaulter proposed during the couple's photoshoot for Vogue Scandinavia.
