Jake Paul may have sparked a controversy that pulled him deep into the vortex of criticism and scrutiny, but he certainly shouldn’t forget to wish girlfriend Jutta Leerdam well. The outstanding speed skater has added yet another feather to her cap. Being the loyal boyfriend that he is, Jake Paul quickly shared his thoughts on his partner’s latest sparkling achievement.

The 2022 Beijing Olympics silver medalist recently claimed the title of Dutch national champion in the 1000-meter race once again being the only one to break the 1:14 mark by coming in at 1:13:72. This is her sixth consecutive title. The massive achievement follows her victory at the 2025 ISU European Speed Skating Championships, held in her home country, the Netherlands, from January 10th to 13th. With a time of 1:14.21, Leerdam secured gold in the women’s 1000-meter sprint last month. Jake Paul and Jutta Leerdam have been going strong as a couple since 2023, with Paul reportedly expressing a desire to get engaged and start a family with the Dutch speed skater.

On the boxing front, Jake Paul was preparing for what could have been the biggest fight of his career. At one point, it seemed like a showdown with Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez was almost a done deal.

But to no avail. ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, who was already in talks for a history-making fight against Terence Crawford, moved forward with a four-fight deal with the Riyadh Season. Miffed, Jake Paul slammed the super middleweight champion for ‘ducking’ him. He later messaged, saying he is ‘working on finalizing the next fight.’

During the 2025 Heerenveen event, where Jutta Leerdam won the 1000-meter sprint, Jake Paul was present among the spectators. Standing out with several cameras on him, he was seen enthusiastically supporting his love.
