BATON ROUGE — Mondo Duplantis, the LSU alum who broke his own pole vaulting world record at the 2024 Summer Olympics, has achieved another major life goal: getting engaged. 

His engagement to four-year girlfriend Desiré Inglander was announced in an issue of Vogue magazine. The couple was doing a photoshoot for the outlet when Duplantis got down on a knee, The Advocate reports

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