Jake Paul Drops Touching Message, Pic With Fiancée Jutta Leerdam Before Olympic Race

Seven-time world champion Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam is racing in her signature event the 1000m at the Winter Olympics on Monday. Her fiancé Jake Paul is there to support her and had the sweetest post beforehand.
The 27-year-old Netherlands star has caused a stir so far a the Milano Cortina Games and not just for her model looks or who she’s getting married to, but she received some backlash after her private jet flex on the way to Milan, and then skipping walking with her country at the Opening Ceremony while she posted in bed.

Paul then arrived and sat with Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha at the USA women’s hockey game.

Paul’s special message for Leerdam
Paul wrote on Instagram, “Today is your day baby. You’ve worked your whole life for this. We all love and support you so much 🥊⭐️ go get em champ” and posted this sweet picture of them at the Olympics before her race.
He’ll no doubt be intense in person when she races like he was at home when she won her seventh world title.
As good as Leerdam has been in her career, the Olympic gold medal is not on her resume yet: She got silver in the Beijing Winter Games in 2022.
Paul and Leerdam’s love story
Paul slid into her Instagram DMs in 2022 to invite her on his podcast, eventually meeting in person in Miami. They went official in 2023.
She caused a stir with her dress during his fight in November of 2024 with Mike Tyson.
The couple then got engaged in March of 2025 in a beautiful proposal as Paul, 29, gave Leerdam giant diamond ring.
Update: Leerdam took home gold with a sensational race in the 1000m in an Olympic record time.
