Meet Jake the engineer
Jake is a marine engineer for Superyachts, which explains how he got a job on the Lady Michelle while Malia worked on board.
Currently living in Barcelona, Spain, he is originally from Whakatane in New Zealand and is clearly very well-travelled, like Malia.
Describing himself as “Jake from State Farm”, he has been posting pictures online which show the happy couple kissing.
He spends most of his time on a yacht – as seen on his Facebook profile!
