Wedding bells are ringing for Matilda Djerf!
The Swedish influencer and designer, 28, is engaged to her longtime partner and Djerf Avenue co-founder, Rasmus Johansson, she announced on Instagram on Wednesday, July 30.
“Besties for life,” the influencer wrote alongside a carousel documenting the special moment. She also added several emojis: “💍🍰💞🔒💌🍒.”

Djerf included a short clip of her and Johansson embracing closely in front of a backdrop of clouds and water, a sparkler visible on her ring finger as she placed her left hand on her fiancé’s chest.
The fashion and lifestyle influencer wore a silky, white gown for the occasion, which blew in the wind as the couple embraced. Johansson, meanwhile, wore a simple, white button-up shirt and khakis.
Next, the Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree included a snap of a rainbow in the sky, and a picture of the couple pressed cheek to cheek as they looked out at the water together on a rainy day. She also shared a snap of a table full of food, before rounding out the engagement post with a shot of herself behind the wheel of a boat.
In the final snap, she held her left hand up to her face, once again showing off the sparkler on her left ring finger.

The designer later reposted the carousel on her story, alongside a message for those leaving their well-wishes in the comments. “Thank you all,” she wrote on Instagram Stories, “for the sweet sweet love you’re sending our way 🤍.”
While speaking about their clothing company Djerf Avenue in 2024, Johansson told Forbes that he and Djerf had “worked together since the influencer and modeling jobs, and it’s been six years now,” so as a duo, they “know what works and what doesn’t.”

He also teased that the couple plans to start a family together, telling Forbes, “We need to find a better balance eventually, especially when we have children. We want time to be ourselves and be together as a family.”
“It’s a few years away,” Johansson said, “because we’re just starting and hustling. Currently, we’re only working hard without it affecting anyone else. So, it’s okay with just the two of us. We’ll have to wait before expanding into having a family.”
