Jake Paul’s Dutch fiancee Jutta Leerdam won Olympic gold in speed skating on Monday. She broke the Olympic record in the women’s 1,000 meters with a time of 1:12.31 at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer broke down in tears as he watched Leerdam achieve glory at the international sports competition.
The performance marked a special moment for the speed skater. It was the first gold medal for her at the Olympics and the second overall medal of her career, as she also won a silver in Beijing in 2022.
Leerdam wept with joy when she saw her final result.
Earlier, her place at the Milan Cortina Games was in doubt after she suffered a surprise fall during the Dutch Olympic trials; however, she did not give up and eventually earned a place on the Dutch team.
On X (formerly Twitter), Paul expressed his overwhelming emotions, writing: “Jutttttttttaaaaaaaaa. I can’t stop crying. You did it my love. Olympic gold. God is great and so are you.”
In a separate post, the social media sensation shared a photo of him holding Leerdam in his lap with the athlete who was flaunting his gold medal, the 29-year-old boxer wrote: “We have just witnessed one of the most important sporting moments of all time. The documentary will tell. Words cannot describe how proud of you I am.”
