“Oh my God”
The couple has also launched their own YouTube channel where followers get an insight into their different everyday life. There, the couple has also revealed how they met that summer in 2021.
Mondo reveals that it was he who took the initiative and the starting shot became possible, as for many young people these days, via social media.
– The first time I saw her was on Instagram. I then tried writing to her but nothing came of it. A few months later it was midsummer, I was at a party and a friend of mine came up and asked if I wanted to go to another party, says the pole vault star in the video.
– Then I found out that Desiré was going to be at this party, so I immediately thought: “Oh my God”. Of course I wanted to go to that party then because Desiré would be there. I wanted to meet her. So I went to that party and I knew she was going to be there.
Determined to get to know Desiré, Duplantis gathered the courage to take his chance.
– I went up to her and tried to talk to her. I remember being super nervous. I had prepared what I was going to say in my head, but what came out of my mouth didn’t sound nearly as good as I thought…, he says in the video on YouTube.
– So there wasn’t much of that time, but I got her Snapchat. After that I tried to set up a date with her but it never worked. Then I told her that I was going away for a long time in two weeks and finally she said yes. So we met and hung out for a few days and then it became us.
