Needless to say, the media sources went into a reporting frenzy as many of them concluded that the celebrity duo had become officially engaged. However, three long years have passed, and neither Elijah nor Kongsved deemed it necessary to confirm or refute the claims. Besides, Elijah was in an interview session during the later part of 2019 when he acknowledged Mette-Marie as his girlfriend and not fiancée.

According to Elijah, most of his friends already have their own families, and he is looking forward to building his own, but there are things that must be in place first.
