Jake Paul reveals strained relationship with brother Logan Paul amid fame: 'We both hated each other'
PUERTO RICO: The dynamic between Jake Paul and his brother Logan is nothing short of intriguing. Despite their undeniable closeness now, the initial phase of their meteoric rise to fame had put a strain on their once unbreakable bond.
In the year 2013, the Paul brothers burst onto the scene, captivating millions with their mischievous and hilarious antics on the now-defunct video platform, Vine.
It was on this canvas that they laid the foundation for what would become a remarkable journey of stardom and influence.
Even though Jake started acting in Disney shows like Bizaardvark, both brothers continued to make energetic videos for their fans on YouTube. They didn't let their success change their commitment to entertaining their audience.
Jake Paul exposes the dark side of fame which affected their Brotherhood
Despite their public feud when Logan had an affair with Jake's girlfriend Alissa Violet around 2016, the close bond between Jake and Logan has been a defining aspect of their careers.
However, Jake recently revealed that their relationship hasn't always been as strong as it appears. These two brothers, who started creating viral video content together, faced their fair share of ups and downs.
In a candid interview with ET, Jake disclosed what it feels like to be constantly in the spotlight alongside his brother Logan. He admitted, "He hated me, but I didn't necessarily hate him."
Jake continued, “I guess the story doesn’t do a good job of telling that because it makes it seem like we both hated each other.”
According to Jake, Hollywood was the only factor that separated him from Logan, saying, “We got sucked into the Los Angeles madness and it got the better of us, and we had to realize we’re brothers at the end of the day.”
Jake emphasized that his bond with his brother is more significant than their fame or success. He expressed, "That's more important than any of this other stuff that we have going on, and once we figured that out, we have worked together to take over a lot of industries."
This revelation highlights the personal growth on both ends, as they prioritize nurturing their brotherly connection above the pursuit of fame and success.
As Jake Paul admits, 'every family has issues'
Jake believes that “every family has issues,” and that despite dark times in his career, when people around him wanted him to fail, he is grateful that he has the opportunity to “be the example for another kid out there” not to take social media and the news too seriously.
In a recent boxing match, Jake fought against Nate Diaz, with his brother Logan supporting him from the sidelines. Their bond has grown stronger, and they're collaborating more closely, even making money together.
They also team up for streaming videos and appearances, with Jake frequently appearing on Logan's 'IMPAULSIVE' podcast.
