Online influencer Braden Peters – nicknamed 'looksmaxxer' – had to apologise to Jake Paul after an awkward flirting exchange with his fiancée.
Two years after they started dating, Paul and Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam announced that they were engaged in March 2025 following a proposal in Puerto Rico.
The couple met after Paul messaged the star athlete on social media after she had gone viral online as she trained to compete in speed skating.
Since then, the pair have appeared together on several occasions, with Paul seen cheering his fiancée on as she won Olympic gold and silver at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milan and Cortina.

However, one man who clearly hasn't seen the couple together is streamer Clavicular, or as he's known to some, the 'looksmaxxer'.
Clavicular - real name Braden Peters - is a controversial American TikTok and Kick influencer who has gained notoriety online for 'looksmaxxing', meaning maximising physical attractiveness through obsessive physical self-improvement.
And during a recent stream around the office of Paul's betting brand, the 21-year-old bumped into Leerdam and clearly was preparing to flirt before being quickly shut down by the Olympian.
"Oh there's some girls," Peters said as he noticed Leerdam and other women sitting in the office.
"Do you guys work for betr?" he asked
Leerdam replied: "Me? I'm Jake's fiancée."
Clearly flustered, Peters then said: "Oh. Nice to meet you. I was just telling Jake I'm very glad that he found a girl that he loves, so congratulations on your relationship, it was very nice to meet you. Yep, amazing."
Later in the stream, Peters approached Paul, who was clearly unbothered, to apologise for the incident, before awkwardly joining the couple when they were eating lunch together.

And it wasn't just Jake Paul that Clavicular spent time with recently, as the influencer also appeared on an episode of Logan Paul's podcast.
Peters claimed that he had been 'bonesmashing', a highly dangerous and completely unproven practice that involved intentionally hitting his jaw or other facial bones to change his appearance.
Paul, clearly shocked by the claim, asked if his parents had hidden the hammers in their house, to which he replied: "They did, that was not a joke.
"I would say I probably did it three or four times, so I had to switch to this baseball trophy. I'd be pretty swollen and all my coworkers thought it was pretty weird."
