Inside Jake Paul And GF, Jutta Leerdam's Love Story And Cheating Buzz Amid Olivia Rodrigo's SNL Jab

American professional boxer and influencer, Jake Paul, is currently making headlines, not for his match-related information but due to some personal controversies. On May 3, 2026, Olivia Rodrigo in her debut Saturday Night Live monologue, poked fun at her former Bizaardvark co-star, Jake Paul, sarcastically calling him an "acting legend." She recalled conversations they had as 13-year-olds in which she expressed a desire to make music about the complexities of girlhood, while Jake supposedly shared his dream of "beating up old guys on Netflix" (a jab at his current boxing career).

Notably, Jake has always had only nice things to say about Olivia Rodrigo's success since they starred together on the Disney Channel show from 2016 to 2019, making her sudden jab all the more surprising. Besides that, Jake's private life with his fiancée, Jutta Leerdam has also been making significant noise due to rumours surrounding his cheating, leading to their breakup. He recently denied both the viral claims surrounding his relationship with Jutta. Amid that, here's a look at Jake Paul's relationship timeline with his ladylove, Jutta and their current dynamic following the infidelity buzz.

How did Jake Paul and Jutta Leerdam's love story start?

The relationship between YouTuber-turned-boxer, Jake Paul and Dutch Olympic speed skater, Jutta Leerdam has been termed as "a modern love story" by Olympics.com. The duo interacted for the first time in late 2022 after Jake reached out to her on Instagram. Despite coming from two different worlds, they fatefully connected for a professional endeavour that later turned romantic. Recalling the first chat, Jutta shared in the documentary, Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson that Jake texted her because he wanted her as a guest on his podcast. The 27-year-old skater thought it was a good idea and said yes to him.

Jake and Jutta went public with their relationship in April 2023, a few months after they officially began dating in late 2022 or early 2023 (the exact date is not publicly known). The couple first sparked dating rumours when they were seen on a date in Miami in March 2023, but Jake formally hard-launched their romance with his ladylove on Instagram on April 3, 2023. Confirming the relationship, he shared cute couple photos, captioning them as, "I'm Dutch now." According to Jutta, thetheir bond grew very deep, very quickly. She mentioned:

"We really clicked in these two fast-paced worlds on a deep and super personal level."

Jutta Leerdam defended Jake Paul amid criticism surrounding his on-screen persona

The 29-year-old Jake Paul often finds himself in the midst of controversies. From trying to build an image of a 'villain' to accusations of being a 'fake boxer' for fighting only non-professional opponents, he often made headlines for all the wrong reasons. However, Jutta Leerdam stayed by his side, even defending his real-life persona amid backlash over his on-screen attitude. According to her, Jake is a completely different person when he's not in front of the cameras. She mentioned that he's extremely sweet and emotionally open, and that she finds guys like that very manly. She was quoted as saying:

"He's not an idiot in real life. He's just different in front of the cameras. You're just the sweetest guy ever and I want to expose you one day. It's so different seeing you on video, your personality there online compared to everywhere else. You're actually a little bit more introverted in real life. You're more chill. You're like sweet and genuine and more vulnerable and like emotionally open. I've never seen that in a guy. I've never seen a guy that's so open. It's actually manly that you can show your emotions and I think that's really beautiful."

Jake Paul and Jutta Leerdam's engagement

Jake Paul and Jutta Leerdam officially got engaged on March 21, 2025 after two years of dating. The boxer proposed to the Olympic speed skater during a tropical vacation in Puerto Rico, amid mountains and a body of water.

They shared the engagement news with their fans the next day, on March 22, 2025, through a joint Instagram post.

The couple captioned the post as, "We're engaged we can't wait to spend forever together" and accompanied it with dove and white heart emojis. Jake Paul admitted to being "very nervous" before proposing. He compared the feeling to one that he feels before a major fight. As for Jutta, she was visibly shocked and emotional, and even jumped with joy when Paul went down on one knee. The highlight of the event was that he had arranged for her parents to be present during the proposal, which she described as the "biggest surprise ever."

Jake Paul was rumoured to take back the engagement ring and abandon Jutta Leerdam

Unverified reports by Dutch media personality, Yvonne Coldeweijer suggested that Jake had dumped Jutta after a year of engagement and even took back the ring. He also faced rumours of having cheated on her. Jake addressed the rumours on X (formerly Twitter), stating, "Seeing the Dutch media lying about my fiancé Jutta and I... It needs to stop." As of May 3, 2026, they remain fiancés, despite viral rumours of their split.
