Pole vault superstar Armand Duplantis has secretly married fiancé Desire Inglander at Stockholm City Hall with reports suggesting that the Swedish-American is planning a proper reception in France in June.
According to British tabloid The Sun, the news of Duplantis's marriage was inadvertently revealed by a Bislett Games (annual track and field meet in Oslo, Norway) organiser, who said that the 26-year-old would not be able to take part in this year's tournament since he will be busy with his wedding celebration in Cannes, France. Following the leak, the two-time Olympic gold medallist told Swedish newspaper Sport Bladet: "I wish he did not say anything, but that's how it is. We're going to have the real ceremony and wedding during the summer. I feel half-married. But I don't have the ring on. Not until the real ceremony in June."
Duplantis, who has broken the pole vault world record on 15 occasions, got engaged to Inglander in October 2024.
Inglander is a Swedish model, influencer, and content creator with over 8 lakh Instagram followers.
