Leerdam opened up about her relationship with Paul for the first time on hisBS w/ Jake Paulpodcast in April 2023. Within the first three minutes of the 46-minute video, she said he’s “different” compared to how he appears on the internet.
“He’s not an idiot in real life. He’s just different in front of the cameras. You’re just the sweetest guy ever and I want to expose you one day,” she told Paul. “It’s so different seeing you on video, your personality there online compared to everywhere else.”
Paul replied: “I feel like I’m the same.” Though Leerdam immediately shut his response down, saying, “No, no you are not. Definitely not.”
Leerdam went on: “You’re actually a little bit more introverted in real life. You’re more chill. You’re like sweet and genuine and more vulnerable and like emotionally open. I’ve never seen that in a guy. I’ve never seen a guy that’s so open. It’s actually manly that you can show your emotions and I think that’s really beautiful.”
