The couple captioned the image simply, by noting the date of the announcement, writing, ‘19.06.24’. 

Kyle was first linked to Ingeborg in June, 2023. 

In November of the same year, they all but confirmed their romance after they each uploaded a photo collage gallery to Instagram containing a very cosy image.

The photo showed Chalmers, 25, and Løyning, 22, looking like a couple as they posed arm-in-arm while taking a dog for a walk. 

Another image showed Løyning and Chalmers enjoying an outdoor meal together.

The couple’s good news comes after Chalmers revealed he almost quit swimming amid the infamous love triangle saga that rocked the Australian team in 2022.

Chalmers was in the eye of a media storm over his involvement in a love triangle with ex-girlfriend Emma McKeon and fellow swimmer Cody Simpson.

His world championships backflip – in which he U-turned on his decision to skip Budapest, thereby denying Simpson a place on the team – resulted in allegations that his call was not purely based on swimming.

The story did not go away during the Commonwealth Games, where all three swimmers competed for Australia in Birmingham, and Chalmers says he spent the hours leading up to his 100m freestyle race crying in his hotel room. 

‘It is a sport that I love.’ he told A Current Affair. ‘But I was in a very, very dark place.

‘Reflecting on that. I was asking myself “why am I actually doing this? Why?”

‘Especially last year, I think rock bottom, was probably, like, alone at the Commonwealth Games. Just being in my room completely preparing for the final, I was crying in my room.

‘We’re in a university so a pretty old sort of building. “What am I, what am I here for?”‘

Chalmers previously revealed that he had written a retirement statement in the midst of his struggles, and wanted to play local footy in Australia instead.

‘It was very, very stressful,’ Chalmers told the Soda Room podcast. ‘I was going to say, now I’m done – I’m going to stay in Port Lincoln now and play country footy.’

He added that any suggestion that he kept Simpson out of the team for Budapest was ‘absolute c**p’ but it wasn’t until the Commonwealth Games where he reached an all-time low. 

‘We just broke the Commonwealth record and we won gold … and they’ve just teed off,’ he says. ‘Not one question about swimming … It was all complete nonsense, this so-called feud. There was no feud whatsoever.’
