With just hours left before saying “I do,”Tana Mongeaushared a YouTube video dedicated to her husband-to-beJake Paul.
Throughout the nearly 8-minute long video, appropriately titled, “I love you, Jake Paul,” the popular YouTuber delivers an emotional speech.
“It is 6:00 a.m. on July 28, 2019,” Mongeau, 21, shares at the beginning of the clip. “I am about to go get on a plane andgo get married. But first I had to make this YouTube video.”
“I realized in that moment that the only person I never want to question why I love you is you,” she says.
Although the pair have only been together for just two months, Mongeau has been amazed at how much they have in common.
“To be honest with you, with a life like mine and a path like the one I’ve walked, you don’t really meet people who understand you — ever. You just meet people who pretend to,” she says.“I could never speak again and you’d be able to write out what’s in my head.”

Wrapping up the video, Mongeau explains that to simply refer to the pair as partners in crime “would be a f—ing understatement.”
In the final seconds of the video, a black-and-white clip of the couple embracing suddenly fills the screen. “Thank you for slow dancing with me while they scream. I love you,” she says.
Before the pair walks down the aisle, here’s a look back at the pair’s whirlwind relationship.

It All Started with a Bed
From the very start, Mongeau and Paul’s relationship has played out in public.
In April 2019, shortly after announcing her breakup from ex-boyfriend Brad Sousa, Mongeau posted a selfie of herself in a bed, which fans of Paul’s were immediately able to recognize.
Several days later, they began making videos together, the first of which was titled, “Meet the girl I’ve been hiding from you.”
The pair quickly released theirown collection of merchandise, consisting of two shirts featuring photos of the pair together as well as theircouple nickname: Jana.
Getting Down on One Knee
About a month after the pair began making videos together, during which time they never officially confirmed their relationship status, Paulpopped the questionwhile celebrating Mongeau’s 21st birthday in Vegas.

Setting a Date
“Ok, so guys, I wrote Tana a poem. If you’re under 18 cover your ears,” he warned the crowd.
The poem began with Paul recounting the day they first met, suggesting something intimate happened between the two, before diving into their relationship.
“Two years later we turned into ‘Jana,’ no more broads in Atlanta, no more girls caught on camera. I’m loyal to you and all the spray Tanas,” he wrote.
He even called out his brother, Logan, and Mongeau’s exBella Thorne— whocried when she found out about the engagement— for not supporting the couples’ whirlwind romance.
“Logan and Bella can hate, the world can question our fate, but on July 28 you can all save the date,” he said to the crowd.
Seemingly playing into the idea that their relationship is just an attention ploy, the pair even referred to their wedding as a “Holy Cloutramony” on their invitations.
So… Is it Real?
From the very beginning, fans have questioned Mongeau and Paul’s relationship status.
Shortly after the pair began posting videos together, Paul told fans theirrelationship was “real, but it’s also not.”
“This whole thing with Tana is like escalating. I don’t even know how to describe it. It’s real, but it’s also not. But it also is, so it’s weird, man. I don’t know what it’s going to turn into. Stay tuned,” he said in a video uploaded on May 9.
Then in a video uploaded on June 6, Mongeau also gave a vague answer when asked whether they were actually together.
“I don’t know. Sometimes,” she said, laughing. “I feel like that’s such a YouTube answer.”
Although following their engagement, the couple hasrepeatedly stated that they’re actually together, even their family members haveseemingly expressed their doubts.
During a recent interview on the Barstool Sports podcast,KFC Radio, Jake’s older brother appeared to throw shade at the relationship when asked about authenticity in the YouTube industry.
“I don’t know what’s going on there, man,” Logan added.
Jake has admitted to being in a fake relationship in the past.
In a 2017New York Timesprofile, the then-20-year-old admitted that his romance with ex Erika Costell — whom he filmed a video with titled “We Actually Got Married…” — had never been for real.
“We’re not even actually dating,” he said. “It’s like the WWE. People know that’s fake, and it’s one of the biggest things of entertainment.”
