She’s not only smashing it at the Olympics: she’s also the 2022 World Sprint Champion in the 500 and 1000 metres combined, and the 2020 and 2023 World Single Distance Champion. Altogether, she has 12 world championship medals, including six golds. All in a day’s work for a champion speed skater *shrugs*.

When did she get engaged to Jake Paul?

You might best know Jutta for her relationship with YouTube star and boxer Jake Paul. The skate star has a giant social media presence, racking up over six million followers on Instagram, where she shares updates on her skating career, as well as snaps of her life with Jake, such as holidays to Lake Como and Puerto Rico together.

The couple have been together since April 2023, and like with any modern romance, it all started with a DM. “Jake sent me a DM on Instagram and asked if I wanted to be on his podcast,” she shared in the documentary Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson. “And I was like, ‘Okay, let’s do it. Can be good, can be nice.’”

And beyond her initial reservations about his brash, controversial online persona, she found that there’s a soft centre inside that tough exterior. “I never, ever expected to date him, like never. 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.”

Since then, the pair have gone from strength to strength, with both stars showing up for each other at their respective sporting events — Jake’s fights and Jutta’s skating competitions — and Jake is uncharacteristically emotional and lovey-dovey about her online.
