Jake Paul's gushy birthday post to fiancée Jutta Leerdam after Olympic trials crash

Jake Paul took to social media to express a heartfelt birthday message to his fiancée, Jutta Leerdam, as she celebrated her 27th birthday on Tuesday.

“Happy birthday to my baby Jut. I love you @juttaleerdam 💫,” wrote the 28-year-old Paul in an Instagram post, which featured a series of photos of the couple together.

This birthday tribute comes on the heels of Leerdam’s recent disappointment at the Olympic trials in the Netherlands, where the Olympic speed skater did not advance.

Meanwhile, Leerdam marked her special day by posting a couple of elegant photos of herself donned in a stylish brown dress on Instagram.

She simply captioned her post with “27,” accompanied by a birthday cake emoji.

The boxer, who underwent surgery for a broken jaw sustained in a loss to Anthony Joshua on Dec. 19, gushed over Leerdam in the comments.

“Many great things are yet to come, Princess,” Paul wrote in Dutch, as translated by Google.

Paul and Leerdam, who were first linked in March 2023, went public with the romance a month later on Instagram.

The YouTube personality proposed during a vacation to Italy in March.

Paul traveled to the Netherlands to support Leerdam in her Winter Olympics trials after having his jaw broken in two places by Joshua in their fight at Kaseya Center in Miami.

“2 titanium plates on each side,” Paul said of his surgery. “Some teeth removed. Have to have only liquids for 7 days.”

Leerdam’s crash in the 1,000m leaves her participation in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy up in the air, though she bounced back in the 500m by taking second place.

She was visibly upset and in tears after the crash.

”I’m skating so well in practice,” said Leerdam, who won a silver medal in the 2022 Beijing Olympics. “What those girls are skating here, I could have easily skated today.

“I’ve won the past World Cups. I’ve always been at least in the top two at the world level. I hope they (the selection committee) will look at my level, including today, how I was skating before I fell, and the growth I’m making.”

Paul told reporters he was heartbroken over it.

“I know this is her whole life, her whole dream,” he said. “And everything she’s worked so hard for. My heart is broken.”

She called the incident a “very unfortunate moment” in a post on Instagram, which included photos of her crash.

“I will most likely see you at the Olympics in Milan for the 500m! 🥹,” Leerdam wrote. “A very unfortunate moment during my best distance, the 1000m on [Dec. 27].

“Now we wait and hope I get the opportunity to skate the distance I’ve won multiple World Cup golds in this season.”
