YouTube star turned boxer Jake Paul has announced his engagement to Olympic silver medalist speed skater Jutta Leerdam, and while the couple is celebrating, the internet is doing what it does best roasting.

Paul, known for his wild antics both in and outside the ring, dropped the big news on Instagram, sharing a romantic post about his proposal to Leerdam. While some fans congratulated the couple, others quickly brought out the memes, questioning if Leerdam had somehow missed the entirety of Jake’s internet history.


Jake Paul’s engagement post breaks the internet (almost literally)


Jake Paul isn’t exactly known for subtlety, so when he announced his engagement, it was expected to be nothing short of a spectacle. His Instagram post featured a heartfelt caption about love, commitment, and (probably) a strategic brand deal somewhere in the background.

The post quickly took off, racking up thousands of comments in a matter of minutes. But instead of just focusing on the romantic moment, fans saw an opportunity to turn it into prime comedy content. After all, Paul has had his fair share of controversies, and the internet has a long memory.

The moment the news hit, social media went full speed faster than Jutta Leerdam on ice. One user summed up the general reaction in a single savage line:

"She must not have an internet connection."

Let’s be real, if she had scrolled through the archives of YouTube or Twitter, she might have found some... let’s say interesting content about her fiancé.

Another fan, clearly giving the relationship a timeline, wrote:

"That marriage will end by 2027."

Not even a full five-year prediction just a casual heads-up that this engagement might have an expiration date like a limited-time boxing match.

Some saw Paul’s engagement as the final piece of a long-term strategy.

"Bro's finally hitched the bag, time to cash in on these bets!"

Because what’s a major life milestone without a few conspiracy theories about financial motives?

One comment took a dig at Paul's history of controversies:

"Dude finally found someone who can skate around his controversies faster than he can 😁"

If nothing else, at least Leerdam’s Olympic-level speed will come in handy when dodging online drama.

Others couldn’t help but comment on the over-the-top nature of the announcement, with one user joking:

"The flowers signed a nondisclosure agreement 🌼"

Wouldn’t be shocking if there was a sponsorship deal involved Paul has turned everything else into a business move, so why not the engagement photos too?

And of course, there were those who simply didn’t believe it.

"Everything he does seems so fake lol"

Whether it’s a fight, a prank, or apparently a wedding proposal, skepticism seems to follow Jake Paul wherever he goes.

At the end of the day, whether this engagement is a true love story or just another headline for the Jake Paul show, one thing is certain the internet will always have something to say about it.

For now, Jake Paul and Leerdam are celebrating their engagement, while fans are busy placing bets on how long it’ll last. Either way, Jake’s winning inside and outside the ring.
