Like so many modern love stories, Jake Paul and Jutta Leerdam’s journey started with a simple Instagram DM back in 2023. When Jake Paul first slid into her DMs—hoping to get her on his podcast—Jutta actually found him a bit rude. But little by little, things changed. And after two years of building something real, the couple announced their engagement on March 21.
Jake Paul popped the question at the breathtaking Jade Mountain in St. Lucia, getting down on one knee with a jaw-dropping three-stone, oval-cut ring. Now, with that dazzling ring on her finger, the Dutch speed skating champion is already getting emotional just thinking about the future ahead. A few days ago, the official page of “Paul American” shared a clip of their new episode on X. The short clip was captioned as, “They always knew. New Episodes. Thursdays on @StreamOnMax.”
The post featured a 20-second clip of Jutta Leerdam speaking straight from the heart, admitting to a tough decision lying ahead of her. “Jake is really my person,” she said with a smile. “So, someday I will leave Holland. Yeah, it’s crazy. But the sad part is that I will have to leave my country, my culture, my family, which is my most important thing, you know? But I just want to be where my heart is. And my heart is with Jake,” Leerdam confessed.
They always knew.

For Jutta, Jake Paul isn’t just her fiancé—he’s also her biggest and proudest supporter. During the 2025 World Speed Skating Championships, The Problem Child traveled thousands of miles to Norway just to be there for one of the biggest moments of her career.
And it’s not just the big championships where he showed up. When Jutta snagged her sixth consecutive Dutch national title in the 1000-meter race back in February, Jake Paul was right there on the sidelines. After her win, Jutta was all smiles, posting on Instagram: “National Champion 1000 meters .” And Jake Paul? He kept it short and sweet, posting a pic of her on his Instagram Story with just three words: “Champ champ again.”
From an 11-year-old girl with a big dream to one of the most recognizable speed skaters on the planet, Jutta’s journey has been nothing short of incredible. And Jake Paul is making sure he’s there for every race, every win, and every golden moment. But while life with Jake Paul looks picture-perfect on the surface, it’s not all sunshine. Loving him, it seems, comes with its own set of challenges too.
Jake Paul’s partner may have some adjusting to do
The Paul brothers have pretty much documented every part of their lives—from breakfast runs to full-blown breakdowns. So when they announced their Max Original series, “Paul Brothers,” no one was really surprised. But the issue is, considering how long they’ve been in front of the camera, you’d think they’d be totally at ease, right? Well, not exactly. Especially now that Jake Paul is newly engaged to Jutta Leerdam, it’s safe to say things have gotten a little more chaotic than usual.

Just a few days before the official premiere—and only a day after his engagement—Jake Paul sat down with Logan Paul for a chat with TMZ Sports about the new show. They opened up about how tough it’s been to hand over control of their content to someone else. After years of calling the shots, it’s definitely a different experience, especially knowing they can’t just hit ‘stop’ when things get too real.
Adjusting to that loss of control hasn’t been easy, and Jake Paul was honest about the fallout. He said the process has “caused a lot of family issues.” But despite the chaos, he’s proud of the final product. And even with the “madness”, it seems like Jake Paul and Jutta Leerdam are still going strong, and honestly, all we can do is wish them the very best.
So, how soon do you think we’ll see Jake Paul and Jutta officially tie the knot? And while we’re at it, with all the love and support fueling him, do you think Jake Paul has what it takes to take down Julio César Chávez Jr. when they face off on June 28?
