Jake Paul's family life from humble beginnings to YouTube boxing fame

Jake Paul is known by his ring-name the Problem Child, a moniker which has followed him throughout his career from social media stardom to boxing glory.

The younger brother of fellow YouTube superstar Logan, Jake has always had ambitions of becoming a huge star within his industry. He frequently tells the story of modest beginnings in Ohio before moving to California to pursue a showbiz career and while some parts are exaggerated, it's certainly true that the Pauls were not in a perfect situation growing up,

At an early age, the brothers' parents Pam Stepnick and Greg Paul were divorced, leading the pair to have to share time growing up between their mother and father's house. Logan managed to keep himself busy and power through by becoming a top student and star athlete with a college scholarship, while Jake became more rebellious and found himself in trouble frequently at school.
