The Swede, Olympic champion in Paris last summer and world record holder, has shared the life of model Desiré Inglander for several years. It seems like the time has come for them to make their union official.

Armand Duplantis made Desiré Inglander believe that they were going to meet on a beach for a photo shoot. However, for the Swede it was only a matter of making his request. “I was more nervous than at the Olympics,” he told Vogue.
The scene took place on the sand of the Hamptons (New York State), in the United States. While Armand Duplantis knelt down, the young woman did not immediately understand that it was not a scenario, but reality.
“It took him, like, 20 seconds to find the ring,” Desiré Inglander said. “I can say without being mistaken that this is the moment of my life when I was the most nervous,” admitted Armand Duplantis. “I had a few sentences in mind, but I lost my words! I was completely frozen…”
