Jake Paul arrived at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, before his fight against Mike Tyson with a special companion on his arm: his 25-year-old girlfriend Jutta Leerdam, a Dutch Olympic speed skater.

In April 2023, Paul and Leerdam made their relationship official on Instagram, with Paul captioning several photos of the couple holding hands, “Im Dutch now.” Paul and Leerdam marked their one-year anniversary on April 12.

“I adore you, I’m so grateful for you, you make me the happiest girl in the world,” Leerdam wrote in a reply. “He has the best heart. Let’s not stop dancing, baby.

In his own anniversary post, Paul, 27, stated that he has “been in love since day one.” Here’s what you should know about Leerdam:

Who is Jake Paul’s girlfriend?

Leerdam, who was born in s-Gravenzande, Netherlands, began competing in speed skating at a young age and was named the 2017 World Junior Speed Skating Champion when she was 18. Leerdam competed in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, winning a silver medal in the 1000 metres.

“Wow… What a rollercoaster,” Leerdam wrote at the time. “Really happy with a silver medal on the Olympic games!!!”

Leerdam, a six-time World champion, most recently won gold at the 2023 World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships in Heerenveen, Netherlands in March 2023.

How did Jake Paul and Jutta Leerdam meet?

During an episode of Netflix’s “Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson,” Leerdam revealed that she met Paul on social media. (Leerdam has an impressive social media following, with 4.6 million Instagram followers.)

“Jake sent me a DM on Instagram and asked if I wanted to be on his podcast,” she told me. “When he reached out to me online, I thought, ‘What an arrogant (expletive). He believes he can do anything, but he will not get me.’ I never expected to date him.

Leerdam went on to say, “We really connected in these two crazy worlds on a very personal, deep level. Since then, we have been inseparable.

Paul admitted that he and Leerdam occasionally navigate a long-distance relationship because they both have training schedules all over the world.
