    Jutta, who is from the Netherlands, was dubbed the “world’s hottest speedskater” by Dutch media and has been dating the boxer for two years.

    She won a silver medal at the 2022 Beijing Olympics and has six gold medals at the European Championships in the 1000-meter speed and sprint competition.

    The Olympian said she never expected to date the internet sensation after he slid into her DMs.

    “Jake sent me a DM on Instagram and asked if I wanted to be on his podcast,” she shared in the Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson documentary. “And I was like, ‘Okay, let’s do it. Can be good, can be nice.’”

    Jake admitted his attempt at flirting with her was “weird,” but she eventually fell for him.

    “I never, ever expected to date him, like never,” she said. “Of course, I didn’t know a lot about him. I could only scroll on his Instagram and form an opinion like the whole world does. But he is the complete opposite.”

    In the trailer for the reality show Paul American, which follows the lives of the Logan brothers, Jutta said they both “bring out the best in each other.”

    “You keep showing me and the world that dreaming big and manifestation works @jakepaul I’m so proud of you,” Jutta wrote on social media following the match, which took place at AT&T Stadium in Dallas and was also live-streamed on Netflix.

    “You inspire me and so many people out there to think big and if you work hard and believe in it then you can make it happen,” she added.

    The Olympian said her now-fiancé “is the complete opposite” of his brash internet personality

    The first season of Paul American is set to debut on HBO Max on March 27, 2025.

    The eight-episode show was touted as “unparalleled access” to the Paul family and their inner circle, including “raw, honest, and intimate moments” in the lives of the Paul brothers.

    “For the first time, our fans will get to see the real people who shape our lives: our mom, dad, Jutta, Nina, and everyone else in our inner circle,” the siblings said in a statement.

    “They have a right to be happy, and I hope that it lasts forever,” a social media user said

    To the person who said, she's marrying him for his money, she is one of the best speed skaters in the world, as well as being somewhat attractive!
