In mid-February, it was reported that former freestyle skier Pekka Hyysalo and Miina Varjonen have ended their relationship. Hyysalo had announced on Facebook that they had decided to go their separate ways. He shared a photo portraying him looking sad and contemplative, but indicated that they were not ready to provide detailed statements regarding the breakup. Hyysalo's announcement indicated a mutual decision, yet left many questions unanswered about the circumstances surrounding their split.

Following this, Miina Varjonen took to Instagram to share a video with a caption emphasizing 'At the threshold of a new beginning,' accompanied by a heart emoji. This suggests that she may be looking forward to moving on after the breakup. The nature of an Instagram story, which is only available for 24 hours, adds an element of immediacy and personal expression, contrasting with Hyysalo's more subdued approach to the announcement.

Hyysalo and Varjonen had a swift relationship that began in July 2025, leading to an engagement just two months later. They had even planned their wedding, expressing their connection as instant and intense. The change in their relationship status has garnered public interest, as they seemed to be on a forward trajectory just months prior. The perspective shared by Varjonen in her recent video could indicate her hope for a positive transition following their separation.
