After meeting each other through social media, Leerdam and Paul celebrated their one-year anniversary in April. Despite being long distance, the couple has documented their romance on social media, giving fans a glimpse into their travels and relationship.

Leerdam also appeared in the Netflix series “Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson.” In the second episode of the series, Paul called his girlfriend “the most amazing woman alive” and “a superwoman.”

“Not only is she the most beautiful, but she is also an Olympic athlete, six-time world champion and the sweetest soul in the world,” he added.

From her career as an Olympian to her relationship, here’s everything you need to know about Jake Paul’s girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam.

She is an Olympic athlete

Leerdam was born on December 30, 1998 in ‘s-Gravenzande, Netherlands. As a child, she skated on the Olympic circuits in her hometown, with her love for skating beginning at the age of 11.

As a former hockey player, she won her first major individual title at the European Championships in the 1000 meters in 2020. At the 2020 World Single Distance Championships in Salt Lake City, she helped the Dutch team retain the team sprint title and took home gold in the 1000 meters.

The six-time world champion made her debut as an Olympian at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing, where she took home silver in the women’s 1000 meters.

She shares on social media that she is actively training for the Winter Olympics in Italy in February 2026.

Jake Paul initially messaged her on social media

During an episode of the documentary series ‘Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson’, Leerdam shared that she and Paul met through social media.

“Jake sent me a DM on Instagram and asked if I wanted to be on his podcast,” she recalls. “And I thought, ‘Okay, let’s do it. Can be good, can be nice. ”

Paul said that he started flirting with Leerdam, but that she initially “didn’t really feel like it”. The influencer explained that his girlfriend thought he was “weird at first” until she started to understand his sense of humor.

“At first, when he approached me online, I was like, ‘No, you look like this arrogant asshole who thinks he can just get what he wants. Well, not me,” Leerdam explained. “I never expected to go out with him, like never. Of course I didn’t know much about him, I could just scroll through his Instagram and immediately have an opinion like the whole world does, but he is completely the opposite.”

They made their relationship public in 2023

After Paul entered Leerdam’s DMs, the couple became Instagram official in April 2023 after he shared a photo of the couple holding hands on Instagram and a photo of the two running together.

“I’m Dutch now,” Paul wrote under the message.

On April 12, 2024, the couple shared sweet messages on social media to mark their one-year anniversary. Leerdam posted a video montage on Instagram of moments from their year together, with a sentimental message about Paul in the caption.

“I adore you, I’m so grateful for you, you make me the happiest girl in the world,” she wrote. “The man with the best heart. Let’s never stop dancing, baby @jakepaul.”

Paul shared a post of his own on Instagram, including a variety of snaps of the couple and his girlfriend. In the caption, he shared a poem dedicated to Leerdam, writing in part, “A year with you has been so much fun / I’ve been in love since day one / But the memories and the story have only just begun / The only thing I need is for you to know I have won.”

In the poem, Paul expressed his desire to marry Leerdam and start a family, before adding, “but for now you’ll win the gold / and soon I’ll hold a belt / champion 1 champion 2 / our big goals will come WHERE.”

They are in a long distance relationship

In a video on Paul’s YouTube channel from June 2023, they discussed their relationship, including how they deal with long distance.

While discussing his record as a boxer, Leerdam said she was “obsessed” with Paul and “really invested in him” as a friend and fan.

“When I wake up in the morning, I wake up extra early with excitement because he sends me little vlogs,” she said. ‘And every day he sends me videos of you guys just living. It feels like I’m really a part of your life.”

Paul explained, “Yes, because we are in a long-distance relationship, every time she goes to sleep at night I send her three to five videos that make her feel like she is part of everything we do at night.”
