When he wanted to approach Paula, Baim Wong asked for help from his friend, Teuku Zacky and his wife, Ilmira Usmanova. The couple felt the need to return the favor because Baim had previously set them up. Unfortunately, Zacky and Ilmira's efforts to bring Baim and Paula together were unsuccessful. In fact, after asking for help from Paula's closest friends, they still couldn't meet.

Feeling curious, Baim immediately checked Paula's social media and sent a direct message to get to know her. However, the message was only replied to five hours later because it was entered in the DM request. Although they did not know each other at first, they finally agreed to meet three days later.

Their first meeting took place on March 21, 2018. Even ten days later, Baim had already declared his love. Paula had doubted Baim's seriousness because she thought he was too hasty. However, the reason Baim quickly expressed his feelings was his fear of being cheated on by another man.

Having delayed answering Baim's statement, the mother of two then accepted it. Finally, the couple had a fairly private relationship. Their relationship developed quickly, until finally within four months of their introduction, the two of them firmly decided to continue to a more serious level, namely marriage.

Before successfully approaching Paula, Baim Wong apparently often confided in actress Wulan Guritno. Baim felt that Paula was difficult to approach, so he asked for advice from Wulan who was considered to have a similar character to Paula. "This Paula seems to have a difficult nature like you (Wulan), how do you approach a girl like this?" said Wulan imitating Baim Wong's words.
