Childhood memories—they’re often some of the most cherished parts of our lives. But as we grow up, life starts pulling us in every direction. Responsibilities pile up, routines kick in, and little by little, that childhood sparkle and innocence fade away. And that’s kind of the story with Jake Paul. As a kid, he probably never imagined he’d end up in the world of boxing. Yet here he is—once a loud, wild YouTuber, now a professional boxer and a pretty successful promoter with his company, Most Valuable Promotions. But Jake’s not just growing his brand—he’s growing his family too.

Back on March 21, Jake Paul put a ring on it and proposed to the love of his life, Jutta Leerdam. And as always, the couple hasn’t shied away from sharing sweet moments on social media. They’ve been posting adorable snaps, traveling together, living their best life. And just a few hours ago? The Dutch ice skater took it up a notch and posted something very cute.

Taking to her Instagram story today, she posted a picture of a baby photo of Jake Paul himself. “I can’t 🥹@jakepaul,” she wrote. It was an absolute gem from the past—a childhood picture of Jake Paul and his older brother, Logan Paul. Logan’s face was cropped out, but all eyes were on little Jake.

Wearing a red polo shirt with a blue collar and blue trim on the sleeves, The Problem Child looked every bit the adorable troublemaker he’d grown up to be. The red t-shirt had little blue and yellow buttons, adding to the classic ’90s kid charm. He wasn’t standing straight. He was slightly hunched over something for support, giving off that shy, sweet vibe. The background was plain white, but the way he smiled directly into the camera? That lit up the whole frame.

Jutta, understandably, couldn’t help but gush over the image. And honestly, how could she? The former World Sprint Champion is clearly head over heels for her man. And the feeling? Oh, it’s mutual. Jake Paul doesn’t just talk the talk—he shows up, loud and proud. Just a few weeks ago, he hopped on a flight all the way to Hamar, Norway, just to watch Jutta do what she does best—absolutely dominate on the ice. And on March 15th, she did just that, crushing the competition and taking home the gold in the 1000m at the 2025 World Speed Skating Single Distances Championships.

Right after her win, Jutta took to Instagram to share a moment that melted hearts. “So blessed with @jakepaul & my family,” she wrote. But it was what she said next that really captured the magic of their bond. “He claps so loud I never notice who doesn’t,” she added.

What’s your perspective on:

From YouTube antics to boxing rings—has Jake Paul truly found his calling, or is it just a phase?

Have an interesting take?

And if that wasn’t sweet enough, she gave us another glimpse into their love. “I normally throw my medals in a corner,” she admitted.“But he collects all of them for me,” she admitted. What might feel routine to her—just another win—is something Jake Paul treasures. But in the midst of all these sweet, heartwarming moments… Jutta Leerdam stirred up a little drama of her own recently. So, what exactly happened?

Jutta Leerdam accidentally roasts Jake Paul’s family

It all went down on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast just a few days ago. Things were flowing, jokes were flying, and then came a cheeky question from Logan: “What do you think about having Greg Paul as your father-in-law?” Jutta, ever the sweetheart, smiled and responded, “I think he’s pretty great.” So far, so good… right?

Then came the curveball. With a totally straight face, she added: “He has a small heart. He just has a big mouth and he talks a lot.” Mike Majlak, quick on his feet, jumped in to save the moment: “I think we might have a language barrier here.” Jutta nodded and laughed, realizing the mix-up. “Oh, I translated it like literally out of Dutch.”

Turns out, in Dutch, saying someone has a “small heart” actually means “like that’s like a cute heart,” a term of endearment. But in English? Yeah… it hits a little differently

And Greg Paul? He was totally chill about it. “I am good with a cute heart. I like that,” he said, smiling. So in the end, it wasn’t an awkward family moment—it turned into a wholesome, hilarious cultural exchange that made everyone laugh and brought them closer. Gotta love when language barriers lead to moments like these.
