Jake Paul has posted new footage of his proposal to Jutta Leerdam and it is believed he forked out $1 million for the engagement ring.
YouTube-turned-boxer Paul has formed a sporting power couple with Dutch speed-skater Leerdam, whom he met early in 2023.

The pair have been together through the ups and downs of Paul’s boxing career so far, including his recent victory over Mike Tyson.
And this week ‘El Gallo’ announced that he and Leerdam were now engaged.
He posted a picture of himself proposing in front of a picturesque backdrop, on one knee with a ring in his hand.
But the American has now shared new footage of the moment he proposed.
The pair were seen both wiping tears away from their face with Paul clearly struggling to contain his emotion during the romantic moment.
Paul then embraced Leerdam as their engagement became official.
He wrote as the caption: “The most magical day of our lives, 03-21-25.”
During the moment, he presented Leerdam with a diamond ring, which is said to be worth close to $1 million.
It was examined by jewellery experts and believed to be ten-carat natural diamonds, which take the ring’s value to seven figures.
Paul and Leerdam have become huge names and regularly travel around the world to support each other’s careers.

Most recently he was present to support the Dutch star as she scooped three medals in the latest Speed Skating Single Distances Championship.
She will now have a busy year with marriage to Paul to come alongside her quest to compete at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Paul himself is set to have a busy time in the boxing ring despite missing out on a huge showdown with Canelo Alvarez.
The ‘Problem Child’ has even held talks with Gervonta Davis over an exhibition but that will now likely be delayed.
In his most recent call-out, Paul decided to make an ambitious offer to face heavyweight Anthony Joshua.
The pair have held talks in a bizarre phone call, which could see a fight land in 2026.

And Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has refused to rule it out.
“To be honest, I look at it and I think Jake Paul against Anthony Joshua—for me, we’d do it for the banter,” he said.
“‘A.J.’ would fight Jake Paul. He’d fight anyone to be honest with you. If Jake Paul wants to step up and fight Anthony Joshua, he’ll need the relevant insurance.
“The only thing that was disappointing was he says 2026. That’s like me saying, ‘LA Olympics for the surfing in 2028, I’ll be there.’
“Do it in 2025 if you really want to do it. You’re not going to get really much better at this stage.
“I don’t know. Those two have spoken, I spoke to AJ this morning, he went, ‘Listen, of course I’d fight him.’”
