YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul will still be flying high following his victory against icon of the ring, Mike Tyson. And there's one special person in his life he'll no doubt be celebrating with.
The 27-year-old influencer, who made his boxing debut in 2018, is in a relationship with glamorous Jutta Leerdam, who was on hand to support her other half ahead of his eagerly-anticipated bout against the legendary two-time heavyweight world champ.
Jake, who is a full 31 years younger than Tyson, ultimately beat the Baddest Man on the Planet in the controversial eight-round fight, which was scored 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73. Supportive Jutta made sure to be there at the Dallas Cowboys' stadium in Texas to cheer her man on, wearing a gleaming white slit dress with sparkle detail as she congratulated Jake with a kiss.
And, with an impressive sporting career of her own, Jutta will of course know all too well the blood, sweat and tears that go into preparing for a major event.

Regarded as the 'world's hottest speed skater', Jutta shares Jake's social media savviness, and regularly showcases her breathtaking skills on the ice via Instagram, where she boasts 4.8 million followers.
Away from the rink, Jutta, who is believed to be worth approximately $5million (£3.9million), makes sure to keep her many fans updated on her and Jake's adventures together, including dreamy excursions to Paris and St Tropez. And she's made it clear she's serious about her beau. Captioning a sweet compilation video uploaded to Instagram back in April, to celebrate their one year anniversary, Jutta wrote: "I adore you, I'm so grateful for you, you make me the happiest girl in the world. The man with the best heart. Let's never stop dancing baby."

BS w/ Jake Paul)Jake, in turn, has expressed gratitude for having Jutta in his life and has previously revealed that she's been there for him when he was in a 'dark place'. Opening up in a YouTube video shared in April 2023, Jake shared: "She's one of the most pure-hearted human beings that I have met in my life. [She's] so genuine and she has just changed my perspective and helped me coming out of this loss when I was in a dark place."
When it came to penning his own one year anniversary post, Jake unleashed his inner poet, writing: “One year with you it’s been so fun / ive been in love since day one / but the memories and story have just begun / all I need is you to know I’ve won.” Expressing his hopes of one day marrying Jutta and starting a family, he continued: “But for now you’ll win the gold / and soon enough a belt I’ll hold / champ 1 champ 2 / our big goals will come true.”

Hollywood Life reports that Jake and Jutta first connected after he slipped into her DMs, asking her if she wanted to appear on his podcast. She wasn't immediately blown away. Remembering her first impressions of her now-boyfriend in an episode of Netflix's Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson, Jutta confessed: "I thought, 'What an arrogant idiot'."
