My dad pitted me and Logan against each other growing up… but my kids will NEVER be like that, says Jake Paul
LOGAN PAUL awkwardly laughs when brother Jake suggests their parents could have raised them better in a warts ‘n all documentary about the showbiz siblings.
Logan said they both have no regrets for publicly feuding for so many years – which was a huge strain for their mum Pam.
Jake, 28, says with a straight face: “Well, I think if they were better parents, we probably wouldn’t have been fighting.”
Older brother Logan, 29, lets out a chuckle and continues: “It’s true. No, I don’t think either of us have regrets.
“I mean yeah, we could sit here and say we wish we would have done things differently, but then like perhaps the present wouldn’t look the way it looks now.
“And I mean, his comment was facetious, but maybe there’s truth in that.”
Jake, who has lived a life being compared to Logan, interrupts with: “I was being serious. My kids won’t fight, they’ll support and love each other.”
The pair grew up raised by their no-nonsense dad Greg and loving mother Pam – who have since separated.
By their teens, both had moved to Los Angeles in a bid for fame by entering showbusiness.
Over the next ten years, Logan and Jake would become two of the biggest stars in the social media era and self-made millionaires.

They first shot to notoriety on the six-second video app Vine and later YouTube – where they became viral sensations.
A battle for internet supremacy would then ensue between the two – as the brothers fought it out for clicks, likes and subscribers.
And while the chase for money and success could be blamed for their family feuding, dad Greg is where the finger gets pointed at.
The crazy life the family live plays out in an eight-part reality series airing on MAX called Paul American.
And Logan says: “In this show, it was incredibly cathartic for us to figure out why we are the way we are sometimes.
“And I think one of the things that we discovered was our dad was constantly pitting us against each other – like with everything.
“So we both became extremely competitive. And that’s like ingrained in us, whether it’s with each other or the universe and everyone else.”
The eye-opening and wide-ranging series draws back the curtain on the chaotic life Jake and Logan lead.
Jake juggles his career as a boxing star with being a long-distance partner to Jutta Leerdam – a glamorous and successful Dutch speedskater – who he has just proposed to.
Logan – signed to the WWE – welcomes baby daughter Esme into the world after getting engaged to Danish supermodel Nina Agdal.
Explosive arguments, heartwarming reconciliations and everything in between is laid bare in the series – all in the name of entertainment.
Logan says: “This show has caused a few divides in the family, which sucks for us, but it’s great media.
“We’ve shown our whole lives on camera, on YouTube and the internet primarily, and we felt like Max was an outlet where we could go even further.
“I don’t know why we felt like that, but maybe because it’s Max and it’s like an incredibly prestigious platform.
“So we really put it all out there for everyone to judge and and hate on us. It’s pretty sick.”
- The Max Original reality series PAUL AMERICAN debuts THURSDAY, MARCH 27 on Max. Episodes debut weekly leading up to the season finale on Thursday, May 15.
