Jake Paul proposes to Jutta Leerdam – “Engaged to my best friend”
Jake Paul has been making moves in the boxing ring – and now, he’s made a major move in his personal life. On Saturday, the American boxer and influencer announced his engagement to Dutch speedskating champion Jutta Leerdam.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Paul shared a photo of himself down on one knee, proposing to Leerdam, with the caption:
“Engaged to my best friend.”
Paul, 28, and Leerdam, 26, have been a couple since 2023. The pair have frequently supported each other in their professional lives, making public appearances at matches and competitions. Their relationship has drawn wide attention, combining stardom from two very different sports worlds.
Romantic proposal by the water – the moment captured
According to TMZ, the proposal took place on a beautifully decorated waterfront terrace, complete with roses and candles. Photos shared online show Paul kneeling as Leerdam reacts with joy and surprise.
Many celebrities congratulated the couple in the comments. As reported by New York Post, UFC star Sean O’Malley was among the first to respond:
“So happy for you two! Beautiful couple.”
Paul has often credited Leerdam for bringing stability to his life, and the engagement appears to be a natural next step in their journey together.

Two superstars, one love story
Although Jake Paul is still relatively new to boxing, he has quickly made a name for himself. With a record of 11 wins and just one loss, his recent bout with heavyweight legend Mike Tyson streamed live on Netflix and drew record-breaking viewership numbers.
Jutta Leerdam, however, is already a household name in the world of speedskating. She won the silver medal in the 1000 meters at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing and has secured multiple World Cup victories. She is one of the most celebrated athletes in the Netherlands.
Speaking about their relationship, Leerdam previously said:
“He comes from a completely different world than I do, but we understand each other better than anyone else.”
What’s next? Wedding plans and future goals
So far, no wedding date has been confirmed, but TMZ reports that the couple is planning a European ceremony in the summer of 2025. Fans are already speculating whether it will be livestreamed, like many of Paul’s other projects.
Professionally, both stars continue moving forward. Jake Paul hasn’t yet announced his next opponent, but he’s publicly challenged boxing icons like Canelo Álvarez and Anthony Joshua, keeping fans guessing.
Meanwhile, Jutta Leerdam is focused on upcoming world championships and aims to qualify for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina.
Summary – A new journey begins for Paul and Leerdam
Jake Paul and Jutta Leerdam are officially engaged – and the news has lit up the boxing and winter sports communities alike. With their shared fame, talent, and passion, they’re quickly becoming one of the most talked-about couples in the sports world.
