Love is in the air, and Jake Paul just made it official. In a surprising announcement, the 28-year-old disclosed his engagement to his Dutch speed skater girlfriend Jutta Leerdam, in a beautiful ceremony, images from which he shared on social media on Saturday. As soon as the engagement was revealed, celebrities like Wiz Khalifa, and Olivia Dunne, flocked to the post to congratulate the Cleveland native and his beautiful fiance.

The pair struck up a relationship and went public with it in March 2023 after being spotted on a date in Florida. Since then, Paul and Leerdam have been inseparable, having been spotted together in several events. Leerdam has also become a common face in Paul’s social media and YouTube videos. ‘El Gallo’ made this announcement alongside sharing some serene and beautiful pictures of the couple as well as the rock he gifted his significant other.

A picture-perfect engagement for a picture-perfect couple

In his engagement announcement on Instagram, Jake Paul shared a heartwarming moment with his followers. In the carousel of images, the Cleveland native can be seen standing on one knee, on a bed of white flower petals, dressed in white, on a balcony adorned with flowers and candles, with a rugged yet majestic view of mountains stretching out in the background. “We’re engaged,” Paul captioned the post, adding, “We can’t wait to spend forever together.”

The announcement comes shortly after Jutta Leerdam’s impressive showing at the 2025 World Championships in Norway, where she and her team clinched gold in the women’s team sprint. Beaming with pride, after the win, Paul celebrated her achievements in another post, writing, “So proud of my baby 1st, 2nd, and 3rd this weekend at the world championships. She’s a 7-time world champion now… The hardest worker and the most gorgeous. You inspire me, babe.”

Leerdam’s latest gold adds to an already stellar career. She first made waves by winning the junior world title at the 2017 World Junior Championships and followed it up with a silver medal at the 2018 edition. Since then, she’s become a two-time World Single Distance Champion (2020, 2023), the 2022 World Sprint Champion in both the 500 and 1,000 meters, and an Olympic silver medalist at the 2022 Beijing Games in the 1,000 meters. Jake Paul too has carved a sizable niche for himself, with his boxing and entrepreneurial spirit. All that remains now is for the beautiful couple to tie the knot if they so choose.

Jake Paul has dated several well-known influencers and social media figures in the past, including Alissa Violet, Tana Mongeau, and Julia Rose. Meanwhile, Jutta Leerdam was in a relationship with fellow speed skater Koen Verweij from 2017 to 2022. Despite coming from two different worlds, fate seems to have brought Paul and Leerdam together for the long run— and judging by the reactions, the world couldn’t be happier for them.

Fans join friends and family to congratulate Jake Paul and Jutta Leerdam

Paul and Leerdam have been together for a while, but no one expected them to announce their engagement out of the blue. Former WBO cruiserweight champion Lawrence Okolie didn’t just congratulate the new couple but shared his “Massive congratulations!❤️🔥🔥” with the couple. Okolie trained with Paul back in November 2020, suggesting that Paul was ‘better than most boxers.’

Even Dutch sprinter and Leerdam’s Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games teammate Lieke Klaver joined the celebrations. “Aaaaah! 🥹🥹🥹😍,” she wrote. The Dutch teammates are often spotted on social media together.

Meanwhile, rapper Wiz Khalifa also came in with a special message for the couple. “Congrats. Have a baby now so i can be unc wiz,” Khalifa wrote. While Khalifa is an investor in the Professional Fighters League (PFL), Jake Paul signed a multi-year fight contract with PFL in January 2023.

Later, Paul’s business partner and gymnastics star Olivia Dunne congratulated the couple. “OMG! Congratulations guys!✨🤍,” she wrote. Back in October 2024, the LSU gymnast and social media star joined Paul’s personal care brand W as a co-owner, equity shareholder, and ambassador.

Euphoria star Javon ‘Wanna’ Walton also shared his reaction to Paul and Leerdam’s engagement in two words. “Congrats brotha.🙏,” he wrote. Walton signed with Paul’s boxing promotional company Most Valuable Promotions last year.
