LAS VEGAS — Jake Paul is no stranger to controversy, and his wedding did not disappoint.
The YouTube star, 22, married fellow influencer Tana Mongeau, 21, in Las Vegas on Sunday night in a spectacle of disastrous events.
The ceremony, which was held at a customized Graffiti Mansion with their name, wedding date and murals, started half an hour later than scheduled and lasted a mere 10 minutes.
Just as Jake’s best friend Armani Izadi proclaimed the two — who have been dating for just three months — husband and wife, a guest threw champagne at the couple, inciting a fistfight that saw the groom land a few punches.
Despite the dustup, which sent chairs flying and saw MTV camera crews chasing the culprit out of the venue, many questioned whether the fight was real or manufactured for more publicity.
Rumors of a faked relationship — made only stronger by a $125 cubic zirconium ring and a lack of a marriage license — have plagued Jake and Tana (collectively known as Tana) since the start of their brief romance.
Even Jake’s older brother, Logan Paul, has expressed doubts about the entire relationship and didn’t seem to change his mind much, despite serving as best man at the altar.
“Don’t get married when you’re 22,” Logan told Page Six when asked what advice he would give his younger brother and his new bride.
As for how long he thinks the marriage will last: “A month,” he said, before adding, “a month and a half.”
After the chaotic reception, the entire wedding party — including Oprah and Bruno Mars impersonators who were hired to attend and disguised as guests — eventually headed to the Sugar Factory where eager teenage fans waited and screamed for Mongeau and the Pauls.
