Jake Paul Fulfils Six-Year Promise To Himself Saying He Now 'Deserves' It

Jake Paul Fulfils Six-Year Promise To Himself Saying He Now 'Deserves' It

Paul, 24, has whisked partner Julia Rose off to St Barthelemy for a surprise holiday to mark her birthday

Jake Paul has killed two birds with one stone by celebrating his girlfriend’s birthday while also fulfilling a promise he once made with his former self. 

Paul, 24, has whisked partner Julia Rose off to St Barthelemy for a surprise holiday to mark her birthday. 

“Holy f*** I’m the luckiest girl in the world,” she wrote on Instagram as they boarded a private jet. 

“Baby surprised me with a trip to St. Barths for my birthday. AHHHHHHHHHHH WTFFFFFF.” 

Sharing a photo of them toasting with champagne on the jet, she added: “How does someone who knocks people out for a living have such a big heart?”

Paul - who recently won himself a second victory over Tyron Woodley after knocking the ex-UFC champ in a rematch - also shared photos and videos on his own Instagram page, saying excitedly in one clip: “We’re going on a trip!” 

As he filmed himself stepping onto the plane, he said: “St Barths, here we come.”

And it turns out that the lavish holiday will also see Paul fulfilling a vow he made himself, as he’s not been on a ‘real vacation’ since he was 18 years old – having said he’d only do so when he deserves it.  

Speaking to reporters after the Woodley rematch earlier this month, he said: "I need to take a break. 

"I've been going at this non-stop for a year and a half and it's a lot. 

"I'm exhausted, I need to spend time with my family at Christmas and go on a vacation, I haven't gone on a vacation since I was 18-years-old.

"I told myself 'not until you feel like you've got to a place in life where you deserve a vacation' and I deserve it now. 

"I'm going to go on my first real vacation where there's no obligations, because I've gone on vacations where I have to film it, vlog it, do interviews and wake up at a certain time to work out. 

"I'm going on a real vacation and doing backflips into the water - I'll come back whenever I feel like it." 

Paul was originally set to fight Tommy Fury on 18 December in Tampa, Florida, but the Manchester-based boxer pulled out last minute due to injuries. Tyron Woodley, who has fought Paul before, soon stepped up to stand in Fury's place.

Paul, 24, won the pair's first fight on 29 August this year by split decision and banked an estimated £3.8 million, according to the MEN, which is presumably a pretty good sign that he 'deserves' a good hol.
