Wedding bells are ringing for Jake Paul and Jutta Leerdam!
The social media star and professional boxer, 28, announced his engagement to the Olympic speed skater, 26, alongside photos from the proposal in a joint Instagram post on Saturday, March 22.
The post kicked off with a picture of Paul, in a white outfit, getting down on one knee in front of a scenic view, which included water and mountains off in the distance. White flower petals could be seen scattered below the couple and different white bouquets of flowers and white candles surrounded them.
Leerdam, who wore a matching silk top and long skirt, appeared shocked as she held a hand to her mouth. In a second photo, Paul could be soon holding her hand up to the camera and showing off the engagement ring he got her, which featured an oval diamond cushioned with diamonds.

The proposal appeared to have been done at sunset, as in one photo, Leerdam could be seen jumping up and down as Paul held his hands out. A golden glow was cast over the newly-engaged couple as they shared a smooch while kneeling down and celebrating.
In one of the final photos in the post, only Paul and Leerdam’s backs could be seen as they threw petals up to the sky and took in the beautiful view.
“We’re engaged💍🕊️🤍we can’t wait to spend forever together,” Paul captioned the post.

On the boxer’s Instagram, he shared a clos-up video of the Leerdam’s new engagement ring sparkling inside of its ring case as he held it up to the light. In the final photo, he shared a snap of himself holding up one of his W Antiperspirant Deodorant, with the view of the mountains he proposed in front of in the background. “Life’s a w,” he captioned it.
Paul, who rose to fame as a social media influencer alongside his brother Logan Paul, made his relationship with the 2022 Winter Olympic Games silver medalist official in April 2023 when he posted a photo of himself posing next to her on Instagram.
“I’m Dutch now,” Paul captioned the photo, which featured him hand-in-hand with Leerdam in a carousel of photos. Since then, the couple hasn’t shied away from posting each other on their social media accounts or speaking about their relationship in public or cheering each other on in their different endeavors.
“I’m so so proud of you. You have only been doing this sport for 3.5 years and make the biggest fights happen. You inspire me so much with your work ethic, the way you think big, and your crazy determination,” Leerdam wrote in a tribute post on Instagram.
