Pouring more gas on the fire is American model Katelyn Byrd, who has long been rumored to be Pettersson's girlfriend. <h3>Pettersson's Rumored Girlfriend Katelyn Byrd was Also Seen Wearing a Ring</h3> She's been staying in Sweden this summer and was also recently spotted wearing what appears to be a diamond ring on her left hand. So, did they get married? Perhaps so, but perhaps not. In Sweden, both partners traditionally wear engagement rings on the left ring finger, so a proposal may have taken place but not a wedding, at least, not yet. Swedish engagement ring traditions revolve around the exchange of gold bands for both men and women, rather than elaborate diamond rings, Swedish jewellery shop JO&LYD explains on its website. In Sweden, the decision to get engaged is typically a mutual one, reflecting the country's focus on gender equality. Both the man and the woman wear engagement rings leading up to the wedding, with the man returning his ring before the ceremony and receiving it back during the wedding. Or perhaps they just like the rings. At this stage, it is anyone's guess.
