Just days after a devastating defeat in Miami that left him with a broken jaw, Jake Paul is shifting his focus from world titles to family life. Appearing on his brother Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, Jake revealed that his immediate future involves recovery, the 2026 Winter Olympics, and a serious case of “baby fever.”
The Road to Recovery: Life After Joshua
The 28-year-old underwent successful surgery to repair his jaw following his sixth-round loss to Anthony Joshua last Friday. While his boxing career is currently on hold, Paul isn’t planning a quiet retirement.
- The Olympic Mission: Paul confirmed he will take an extended break to support his fiancée, Dutch speed skating superstar Jutta Leerdam, as she competes for gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, Italy.
- Puerto Rico Move: Following the games, Paul plans for Leerdam to move permanently to his estate in Puerto Rico. “Move her here. Maybe go snowboarding or something,” Paul told his brother, signaling a desire for a slower pace of life.
“I Want Kids So Bad”: A New Chapter
In the most candid moment of the interview, Paul admitted that his perspective on life has shifted. Despite his “Problem Child” persona, the influencer-turned-athlete is ready for fatherhood.
“I have such baby fever. Like I want kids so bad,” Paul confessed during the podcast.
This emotional turn follows Joe Rogan’s recent public warning to Paul, advising him to quit boxing to avoid long-term brain trauma and the “price” of depression and neurological imbalance.
