Mondo Duplantis and Desire Inglander's romantic story
The couple started dating in 2020, after meeting at a Midsummer party in Sweden, which was a bit rocky on their first encounter.
“I had just graduated high school,” she told Vogue Scandinavia. “And I was in the mood of, ‘I’m going to do my own thing, nobody can stop me.’ ”
Duplantis, meanwhile, found himself in a cultural disconnect.
“The problem was, people flirt in a very different way in Sweden than where I’m from,” he explained. “[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.
“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 recalled. Inglander agreed, and they’ve been a pair since.
