Jake Paul wife: Meet Tana Mongeau?
Paul began dating fellow American YouTuber and internet personality Tana Mongeau in April 2019. In June 2019, the couple announced that they were engaged, although many fans and commentators did not believe that the engagement was legitimate.
On July 28 of that year, Paul and Mongeau exchanged vows in Las Vegas. InTouch later reported that the couple had not obtained a marriage license prior to the ceremony and that the officiant was also not licensed by the state of Nevada.
As a result, the marriage was not legally binding. Buzzfeed reported that Paul and Tana Mongeau left the ceremony separately. The ceremony, which was available on pay-per-view for $50, was recorded by MTV for the show No Filter:
On an episode of the show, Mongeau stated that the ceremony was something “fun and lighthearted that we’re obviously doing for fun and for content.” The couple announced their break-up in January 2020.
