Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau had what can only be termed a whirlwind romance. ‘The Problem Child’ met the YouTuber before he made his boxing debut in 2019, and the two hit it off almost instantly, becoming inseparable parts of each other’s lives.

The duo apparently got married the same year, although fans have always been skeptical that they got married. In this article, we take a look at whether their wedding was fake and why they broke up.

What happened with Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau? Was their wedding real or fake?

According to reports, the couple purportedly married on July 28, 2019, just three months after they started dating. However, Mongeau has confirmed that the wedding wasn’t real, but just a way for them to express their love for each other, even if they weren’t officially husband and wife.

In an interview with the ‘BFFs’ podcast in December 2020, she said, “Did we get legally married? No, that was a fake wedding. There’s nothing you can ever say to say that it wasn’t, I guess. The emotion of it all was real. It’s still real. It’s real for me, it always will be real. I love Jake more than anyone I’ve ever loved.”

It seems that while the wedding wasn’t ‘official’ and not legally binding like real marriages, Mongeau certainly felt like she was Paul’s wife. However, things quickly changed between the two after their ‘wedding’, which Mongeau thinks was the beginning of the end for her and Paul.

How long did Tana and Jake date? Why did they break up?

Jake Paul has become a different person than he was when he was dating Tana Mongeau, according to the latter. Almost a year after they started dating and less than six months after they got ‘hitched’, they officially broke up in January 2020. After breaking up, they shared posts on Instagram.

Mongeau uploaded a video on December 29, 2019. In the video, she opened up about her ongoing relationship with Jake Paul. She said, “The second Jake, and I got married, I just feel like everything changed. I don’t blame Jake, I think that the second he said, ‘I do to me, he kind of mentally was just like, ‘Now what?’ I think he mentally was over it. I don’t blame him, but it left me clinging, trying to make this work.”

Both looked unsure about their relationship. However, the good thing was that they ended everything on a reasonable note. After taking a break, they reflected on their relationship in several interviews, expressing good wishes for each other. Currently, Paul is dating Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam.
