Jake Paul is currently in a very public relationship with Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam at the moment. The couple, of course, have been dating since last year and seem to be very happy and in love with each other. However, Paul does have a history of turbulent relationships. Before he started dating Leerdam, which Paul made official in April 2023, the former Disney star was in a relationship with model and actress Julia Rose, breaking up with whom was reportedly ‘devastating’ for him.

In this article, we take a look at the celebrity boxer’s relationship with Rose and why they broke up.

How did Jake Paul and Julia Rose meet? Their relationship timeline

Jake Paul met Julia Rose on a video shoot for his song “These Days”. ‘The Problem Child’ was coming off a breakup with his ‘ex-wife’ Tana Mongeau, with whom he broke up in January 2020. While Paul and Mongeau had seemingly gotten married, it turned out to be just for show and not an official marriage.

In January 202o, a few days after the breakup, Paul revealed on “The Night Shift” podcast that he had been dating someone whose identity he didn’t want to reveal. Paul felt it was healthier they were dating off-camera and getting to know each other before their relationship was in the public glare. Soon after, in March 2020, Paul and Rose made their relationship public, becoming regular fixtures of each other’s posts on social media. However, over the next nearly year and a half, both had an off-and-on again relationship.

In February 2022, their relationship hit the rocks again, and the couple seemingly broke up. A clear indication of this came as ‘The Problem Child’ sent out a tweet the same month that read: “Alexa, play ‘I’m Single’ by Jake Paul.” However, in October of the same year, the two were seen fussing over each other at a basketball game.

By the end of 2022, however, Rose and Paul broke up for the final time, as Paul put a telling caption in one of his Instagram posts, that simply read “Picked the wrong Rose,” a reference that he and the model were through. But many are curious about the reasons why they broke up.

Julia Rose hinted at the reason she broke up with Jake Paul

Celebrity news outlet ‘Page Six’, quoting an ‘insider’, claimed Jake Paul was reportedly ‘devastated’ at his breakup with Julia Rose. And that does seem like the case, since a comment from Paul on one of Rose’s posts after their March 2022 breakup was met by sharp hostility from the actress and model.

“God damn u honestly are so f***ing hot it’s ridiculous,” Paul wrote under one of Rose’s Instagram posts. Rose made an acerbic reply to Paul’s comments, which incidentally also shed some light on the possible reasons for the breakup. “@realskybri @emilysalch either of you wanna come claim him since you’re so eager to post him? Prime example of why I broke up with him. Feel free to post more sh*t to make me feel better about my decision,” she replied.

It seems Rose found Paul’s interaction with other women off-putting and problematic, which she indicated was a reason that she left the celebrity boxer. However, despite the reported emotional toll Paul was put under in the ordeal, it seems the breakup was for the better. ‘The Problem Child’ has seemingly moved on and seems to be very happy with Jutta Leerdam.
