Nikki approached Paul on the red carpet, saying, “You’re amazing. I’m blushing, I should go.” Paul replies, “Wow, thank you!” and the two awkwardly hug. But, when the beautiful actress turned her back, Paul confessed he had no idea who she was, but said, “I’d hang out with her!”

The thing must be getting serious because Nikki has even been calling Paul her “boyfriend” at the “Breaking Dawn” set. And she has been showing him off to her fellow cast mates. Lucky Paul!
