Born in the Netherlands, Leerdam's achievements in the rink have opened many doors for her. She has followed in the footsteps of her boyfriend in becoming somewhat of a social media sensation. The Dutch skater regularly posts snaps of her either competing, living her extroverted life with Paul, or showing off her glamorous getaways.
Paul struck up relationship rumours with spectacular skater Leerdam in March 2023 when the pair were caught packing on the PDA during a romantic date night in Miami, Florida. It didn't take long for the Dutch star to confirm that they were an item. The pair have now been together for a year-and-a-half.

BOXING Mike Tyson set for shock return to ring in July against Jake Paul
Former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson is set to fight YouTuber Jake Paul in a much-anticipated bout at AT&T Stadium, Texas.
Spicer had trouble with the law when they met and served a six-month prison sentence in 2008 after being embroiled in a fraud and conspiracy case. Spicer, also known as 'Kiki' is rarely seen in public unless with her husband as she likes to keep a low profile, but she is expected to be there in Texas to cheer 'the baddest man on the planet'.
Tyson and Spicer have been together much longer. The couple met in 1998 while 'Iron Mike' was 28 and his current wife was only 18. At the time, he was married to his second wife Monica Spencer. Spicer was sent to prison aged 31 but following her release, the pair wedded in 2009 and have two children.
