'Still Crying': Jake Paul Breaks Down As Fiancee Jutta Leerdam Wins Winter Olympics Gold | WATCH

Jutta Leerdam delivered the race of her life in Milan, and no one felt it more than Jake Paul.

As the Dutch speed-skating star crossed the line in the women’s 1,000m at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, the clock flashed 1:12.31 — a new Olympic record and the gold medal she had chased for four years.

In the stands at the temporary arena in Rho Fiera exhibition centre, Paul was in floods of tears.

The 29-year-old boxer-influencer, seated alongside his mother Pam and Leerdam’s mother Monique, sobbed openly as his fiancée upgraded her Beijing 2022 silver to Olympic gold. The couple have been engaged since last year, and this was the moment they had both dreamed of.

Leerdam’s triumph capped a chaotic season. After crashing during qualification, she needed a discretionary selection just to make it to Milan. Once there, she made it count.

Her teammate Femke Kok had briefly set an Olympic record at 1:12.59, claiming silver — before Leerdam stormed past it. Japan’s Takagi Miho took bronze in 1:13.95.

Paul wasted no time sharing the emotion. Posting a video of himself crying, he wrote: “IM SO PROUD OF YOU @juttaleerdam.” The clip carried the caption: “My baby just set the Olympic world record.”

Moments later, he shared another video lifting Leerdam — gold medal gleaming around her neck. “We just witnessed one of the most important sporting moments ever. The doc will tell. Words can’t describe how proud of you I am,” he wrote.

Leerdam, still processing it all, posted: “OLYMPIC CHAMPION 1000 METER!!!!!! I can’t believe it!!!”

Paul’s reply? “Still crying.”
