Rissanen expressed his excitement with the phrase, 'She said YES,' and referred to Piironen as 'the future Mrs. Rissanen.' The announcement has garnered a wave of congratulations, with fellow influencer Janne Naakka extending his best wishes to the couple under the post.

The couple is also known for their presence at the recent Linnan juhlat (the Presidential Independence Day Reception), which sparked discussions on social media about their parenting choices. They have three children and live in a single-family house, which adds to their public persona as relatable influencers. They faced scrutiny for taking their children to daycare even while they were at home, prompting Rissanen to clarify that their decision was based on balancing work commitments and family life. Rissanen emphasized that their intention was not due to a lack of interest in their children but rather a need to focus on their professional responsibilities.

This engagement announcement not only highlights their personal joy but also reflects the ongoing conversation about public figures and parenting in Finland. The couple remains a notable presence in Finnish social media, illustrating how personal milestones can resonate widely and provoke both support and critique from the public.
