Jake Paul and his longtime girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam, are officially engaged! The YouTuber-turned-boxer proposed to the Dutch speed skater in a romantic setting surrounded by white candles and roses. Paul shared the happy news on Instagram on March 22, posting photos of himself on one knee with the caption, \u201cWe\u2019re engaged. We can\u2019t wait to spend forever together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leerdam also shared the engagement photos, proudly displaying her oval-cut diamond ring. She reposted a message on her Instagram stories that read, \u201cFind someone that makes you jump for joy,\u201d and added, \u201con heels hahahaha.\u201d<\/p>\n
The couple has been together for about two years. Their relationship began after Paul messaged Leerdam on Instagram, inviting her to be on his podcast, as she revealed in the documentary Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson<\/em>.<\/p>\n Jutta Leerdam is a well-known professional speed skater from the Netherlands. She won a silver medal in the women\u2019s 1000-meter event at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, and has since won six gold medals at the European Championships. Before she began speed skating at age 11, Leerdam played field hockey. She quickly rose to the top of her sport, training on tracks around her hometown of \u2018s-Gravenzande.<\/p>\n The couple made their relationship public in April 2024 when Paul posted a picture with Leerdam, jokingly captioning it, \u201cI\u2019m Dutch now.\u201d They have supported each other\u2019s careers, with Paul attending her skating events and Leerdam cheering for him during his boxing matches.<\/p>\n In November 2024, Leerdam was by Paul\u2019s side when he fought former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in a Netflix-streamed boxing match. Paul won by unanimous decision and reportedly earned $40 million from the fight.<\/p>\n Leerdam also appears alongside Paul in the reality show Paul American<\/em> on Max, which follows Jake and his brother Logan Paul\u2019s lives, with Logan\u2019s fianc\u00e9e, Danish supermodel Nina Agdal, also making appearances. In a June 2023 YouTube video, Paul shared that they often navigate a long-distance relationship due to their respective training schedules, but they continue to support each other through it all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jake Paul and his longtime girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam, are officially engaged!
