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

    Paul and Leerdam became Instagram official in April 2023, with Paul revealing their relationship by captioning several photos of the couple holding hands: “I’m Dutch now.” Paul and Leerdam celebrated 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. “The man with the best heart. Let’s never stop dancing, baby.”

    In his own anniversary post, Paul, 27, said he has ‘been in love since day one’. Here you will find everything you need to know about Leerdam:

    Who is Jake Paul’s girlfriend?

    Born in ‘s-Gravenzande, Netherlands, Leerdam started skating early in her life and was named 2017 World Junior Speed ​​Skating Champion at the age of 18. Leerdam competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China and won Olympic silver medal in the 1000 meters.

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

    Leerdam, a six-time world champion, last won gold at the 2023 World Single Distance 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 through social media. (Leerdam has a large social media following of itself with 4.6 million Instagram followers.)

    “Jake sent me a DM on Instagram and asked if I wanted to be on his podcast,” she said. “When he called me online, I thought, ‘What an arrogant (expletive). He thinks he can do everything, but he can’t get me.’ I never expected to date him.”

    Leerdam continued: “We were really connected on a super personal, deep level in these two crazy worlds. We have been inseparable ever since.”

    Paul said he and Leerdam sometimes have a long-distance relationship as they both follow their training regimens around the world.
