Jake Paul is all about supporting Jutta Leerdam through the ups and downs.
When Leerdam, a world-champion speed skater from the Netherlands, crashed out during the December 2025 Olympic trials, which led to her leaving the ice in tears, Paul wasn't just there in person — he also shared a sweet message to his fiancée on Instagram, writing, "So proud of you warrior @juttaleerdam."
On March 21, 2025, the YouTuber-turned-boxer and the athlete announced that they are engaged, sharing the news on Instagram. "The most magical day of our lives," they wrote in the caption.
The couple made their relationship Instagram official in April 2023 and have thoroughly documented their love on social media ever since.
"I adore you, I’m so grateful for you, you make me the happiest girl in the world. The man with the best heart. Let’s never stop dancing baby @jakepaul," Leerdam wrote on Instagram in April 2024, marking the couple's first anniversary.
So who is Jake Paul's fiancée? Here's everything to know about Jutta Leerdam and her relationship with the professional boxer.

Leerdam is from the Netherlands, born on Dec. 30, 1998. She's racked up a number of titles since first stepping on the ice at 11 years old, an age the official Olympic website notes is considered "late by Dutch standards."
Prior to finding her love of speed skating, the 's-Gravenzande native played field hockey for eight years. "I enjoyed it, but I have never been a team player," Leerdam told Infrostada Sports. "The individual aspect of skating appeals to me."
The skating star specializes in sprint events and holds records in the 1000m.
Leerdam, who trains with both men and women to leverage her game, won her first major title at the 2017 World Junior Championships in Finland.

Leerdam represented the Netherlands at the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing, China. She took home the silver medal in the 1000m, behind Japan's Takagi Miho who set an Olympic record in the women's speed skating event.
"I was pretty happy with the time. I thought it was going to be slower after that corner. It's my first Olympics, I was going for gold, but I'm happy with silver," Leerdam said after her event.
She is currently training for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan.
She's the daughter of a windsurfing enthusiast

Leerdam's dad, Ruud Leerdam, is a windsurfing fan and even named her after a German champion in the water sport.
“I got the name because my dad used to surf. There was a girl who won a lot and her name is Jutta Muller," Leerdam explained. "A lot of male surfers were impressed by her. She was blonde and my dad thought, 'If I have a blonde daughter, I will name her Jutta.'"
She has nearly 5 million followers on Instagram

Similar to her fiancé, Leerdam is an influencer in her own right with nearly 5 million followers on Instagram.
She doubles as a model, often posting fashion-forward photos of herself repping various brands. Among them include Hugo Boss and Dior.
She says Paul is "different" online than he is in person

Leerdam opened up about her relationship with Paul for the first time on his BS w/ Jake Paul podcast in April 2023. Within the first three minutes of the 46-minute video, she said he's "different" compared to how he appears on the internet.
"He's not an idiot in real life. He's just different in front of the cameras. You're just the sweetest guy ever and I want to expose you one day," she told Paul. "It's so different seeing you on video, your personality there online compared to everywhere else."
Paul replied: "I feel like I'm the same." Though Leerdam immediately shut his response down, saying, "No, no you are not. Definitely not."
Leerdam went on: "You're actually a little bit more introverted in real life. You're more chill. You're like sweet and genuine and more vulnerable and like emotionally open. I've never seen that in a guy. I've never seen a guy that's so open. It's actually manly that you can show your emotions and I think that's really beautiful."
She supported Paul at his fight against Mike Tyson

Paul faced Mike Tyson in the ring during a live boxing special on Netflix in November 2024. After eight rounds, he was crowned the winner.
"You’ve only been doing this sport for a few years and you make the most massive events happen. People can say what they want but they watched it and it broke records. Bigger than the Super Bowl," Leerdam wrote on Instagram following the big fight.
"You keep showing me and the world that dreaming big and manifestation works @jakepaul I’m so proud of you," she continued.
