Pole vault champion Mondo Duplantis and fiancée Desire Inglander have sparked wedding rumors after a playful Instagram hint, leaving fans guessing about when and where their big day might happen.

Pole vault star Armand "Mondo" Duplantis and his fiancée Desire Inglander are keeping fans on their toes with hints about their wedding plans.

Inglander recently fueled speculation with an Instagram story, where she casually asked her followers, "Any wedding planners out there?"

This question, paired with a romantic photo of the couple on a yacht, has set social media abuzz with excitement over a potential wedding in the near future.

The Swedish-American pole vault champion proposed to Inglander on October 9, during a photoshoot for Vogue Scandinavia in the scenic Hamptons.

The unexpected proposal took place on the beach, where Duplantis knelt with a sparkling diamond ring in hand.

Initially, Inglander thought it was a joke, but she quickly realized the sincerity in his gesture. Overcome with emotion, she accepted the proposal with an enthusiastic “yes.”

In an interview with Vogue Scandinavia, the two-time Olympic gold medalist shared that popping the question was the “most nervous” he’d ever been.

“I can safely say it's the most nervous I've been in my life. I had a few lines that I thought I was going to say, but I lost my words. I completely froze," Duplantis admitted.

Despite his usual poise on the world stage, he found himself overwhelmed by the gravity of the moment, revealing a different side of the composed champion.

Their love story began back in 2020, when the couple first crossed paths at a traditional Midsummer celebration in Sweden.

Duplantis was instantly captivated by the model, yet Inglander initially hesitated to pursue a relationship.

However, Duplantis' persistence eventually won her over, and the two have been inseparable since their first date.

Since then, Inglander has remained by his side, offering unwavering support throughout his record-breaking career.

The couple became a fan-favorite at this year’s Paris Olympics, when a video of Duplantis embracing Inglander after his pole vault victory went viral.

The 24-year-old, who has enjoyed a stellar 2024 season, broke his own world record three times this year, with the latest being a 6.26-meter leap at the Silesia Diamond League.

He also shattered records at the Xiamen Diamond League and the 2024 Summer Games, where he soared to 6.25 meters.

Duplantis’ consistent record-breaking performances have solidified his place as a legend in pole vaulting, but he remains humble, frequently crediting Inglander as his source of balance.

“Desiré brings me such a great balance in life,” Duplantis shared with Vogue Scandinavia.

"It’s so nice to be able to come home and escape into a completely different world, absorb ourselves in each other and whatever we’re doing.”

He credits her with helping him maintain focus and stability, both on and off the field, which has been key to his exceptional performances.

Now, with Inglander’s recent Instagram post hinting at wedding planning, fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter in their love story.

Speculation is rife about where and when the couple might tie the knot, with some guessing it could be as soon as next year.

Inglander’s followers flooded her Q&A session with messages, asking if she’d already picked a location or a date, but the model has remained tight-lipped on the details.

However, one thing is clear: Duplantis and Inglander are deeply in love and ready to take their relationship to the next level.

While they may be holding back the finer points the couple’s growing openness about their engagement and plans for the future have given fans plenty to look forward to.
