Before he started dating the speed skating wunderkind in April 2023, Jake Paul had a long and illustrious dating history, with most of his ex-girlfriends being involved in show business in one way or another.

After almost two years of being together between 2015 and 2017, Jake Paul broke up with her for purportedly cheating on him with his brother, Logan. However, Violet has vigorously and repeatedly denied these rumors.
Paul dated Tessa Brooks next, but the duo broke up shortly after as the YouTuber took to social media and publicly declared that she was “done” with Jake. ‘The Problem Child’, who was a vlogger back then, also had an allegedly ‘fake’ on-screen relationship with Erika Costell, but the duo broke up a year later in 2018.
