Jake Paul<\/a> is back in the hospital for another surgery to help fix his broken jaw.<\/p>\n

\u201cHad to get another jaw surgery,\u201d Paul, 29, wrote via Instagram<\/a> on Friday, February 20. \u201cThe screws and plates were coming loose because apparently I didn\u2019t rest for the past 2 months whaattttttttt.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latest post included photos of Paul on a hospital bed and getting an MRI. He also included photos and videos of his fiancee, Jutta Leerdam<\/a>, with him at the hospital and pushing him around in a wheelchair.<\/p>\n

Leerdam is an Olympic speed skater who just won a gold medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy.<\/p>\n

Paul also added seemingly-AI-generated videos of his \u201cnew jaw\u201d to Friday\u2019s post. Both videos showed Paul with a robotic chrome jaw.<\/p>\n

The second fake video showed Paul taking off his lower jaw, revealing a medal mechanism in his face, before he puts his jaw back on, saying, \u201cGood as new.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul broke his jaw during his knockout loss to Anthony Joshua on December 19, 2025. He broke his jaw in two places<\/a> during the boxing match, and was hospitalized right after the fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cBroken jaw guys thanks for all the support I\u2019m ok,\u201d Paul captioned his December Instagram post announcing the injury. The post included a thumbs up emoji in the caption.<\/p>\n

He also posted an x-ray of the broken jaw at the time, revealing the double break.<\/p>\n

The injury didn\u2019t keep Paul down for long (which is maybe why he needed a second surgery).<\/p>\n

Later in December, Paul traveled to the Netherlands<\/a> to support Leerdam, 27, in her Olympic speed skating qualifying race. She fell during that race, but recovered to still qualify for the 2026 Olympics in Italy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really, really hard,\u201d Paul said after the heartbreaking result of that qualifying event. \u201cAnd I know this is her whole life. Her whole dream. And everything she\u2019s worked so hard for. My heart is broken. This sport is so bizarre. She could just show up at the starting line and go again. And she had such a fast opening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul was also by her side during Leerdam\u2019s epic bounce back at the Olympics, breaking down in tears<\/a> when she earned gold in the women\u2019s 1,000 meter speed skating competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cJuttttttttttaaaaaaaa. I can\u2019t stop crying,\u201d Paul wrote via X after the competition. \u201cYou did it my love. Olympic Gold. God is great and so are you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leerdam finished the race in 1:12.31, setting the Olympic record as she earned her first gold medal.<\/p>\n

She won a silver medal at the Beijing Olympics in 2022 and has won the 1000 meter distance twice at the Speed Skating World Cup.<\/p>\n

Paul and Leerdam met via Instagram in 2022 and went public with their relationship in April 2023. They announced their engagement via Instagram in March 2025 in a joint post.<\/p>\n

Leerdam said Paul sent her a message on the social media app when they first met, asking her to be on his podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never, ever expected to date him, like never,\u201d she said in the documentary Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson. \u201cOf course, I didn\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
