During an interview with Wanda Diamond League in August 2024, Duplantis discussed the significant element of taking a break after the Olympics with his fiancée Desiré Inglander.

“Just going on like a 5-day vacation right after Olympics, just going straight from Paris was the best thing that I could have done and I think it was was also great for Des and I too because I think she deserved a vacation after how boring her life probably and I guess our life has been the two months building up to the Olympics. Just completely locked into our apartment basically and that's the only thing. I just go training, physio, back home and do nothing. So I think mentally it was a really good refresh,” he said.
