She sent him a Facebook message. After the first contact, the two became acquainted and started dating. Planert was not a comedian when the relationship began. She grew intrigued only afterward.

She was first afraid to reveal her interest because she thought people would credit her for having a renowned boyfriend. Planert did not ask Normand for assistance and even concealed her beginnings in comedy from him, as mentioned by The Things.

He discovered she performed stand-up comedy six months later when they were both scheduled for the same event. As they continued to spend time together, they became infatuated with one another on and off stage.
