Jake Paul arrived at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics fresh from a Super Bowl LX controversy, having called for a viewer boycott of the headliner of the halftime show, Bad Bunny. And well, Paul hardly minced his words. However, days later, he was now spotted in Italy, where he got emotional following his fiancée’s Olympic feat.

Yahoo Sports reported that broadcast cameras captured Paul in the stands with tears streaming down his face as he watched the woman he loves achieve her life’s dream. He then turned to his family members, hugging them as he celebrated his lady love’s win.

Dutch speed skater, Jutta Leerdam, crossed the finish line in the women’s 1000 meters speed skating event to set a new Olympic record and claim gold. She then went over to the stands and blew kisses to Jake Paul, who was seated in the second row.

Well, Jutta’s performance was just a masterclass. In the first 200m, she clocked a 17.68 split, but while she was still in the podium contention, it wasn’t enough for the gold medal. However, then came her second split, which was recorded to be 43.78. She eventually set a new Olympic record in 1min 12.31sec.

For the Dutch speed skater, this was a major achievement in her career. This was a major upgrade from the Beijing Games, where she secured a silver medal behind Japan’s Miho Takagi, who took the gold.

And Jake Paul? His reaction was heard beyond the grandstands in Italy. He also expressed his emotions on his social media with multiple posts for his beloved fiancée.

“Today is your day baby. You’ve worked your whole life for this. We all love and support you so much. Go get em champ,” Paul wrote prior to the competition.

But after Leerdam’s gold medal, he again posted, stating, “Juttttttttttaaaaaaaa. I can’t stop crying. You did it my love. Olympic Gold. God is great and so are you.”

Back in April 2023, both of them made their relationship official. Just nearly two years later, in March 2025, Paul and Leerdam announced that they were getting engaged.

However, prior to his fiancée’s gold medal, the YouTuber-turned-boxer had to make a few clarifications regarding his comments on Bad Bunny.

Jake Paul clarified his Super Bowl LX halftime remarks

After calling Bad Bunny as a “Fake American Citizen,” Jake Paul was swarmed with comments that were against his perspective, and even his close friends like Claressa Shields said, “Please, Jake, not today. Puerto Ricans are not fake citizens.” This controversy prompted the YouTuber-turned-boxer to immediately address his own claims.

“The problem with my tweet is the word fake being misinterpreted. He’s not a fake citizen obviously, because he’s Puerto Rican, and I love Puerto Rico and all Americans who support the country. Moreso, Bunny is fake because of his values and criticism of our great country,” he stated in his social media post.

But today, apart from the political turmoil, for Paul, this is a moment for celebration. With Leerdam now an Olympic champion, it makes him the happiest man out there.
