Divorce from Baim Wong, Paula Verhoeven Changes Status on ID Card: New Chapter

THE DIVORCE PROCESS between top model Paula Verhoeven and actor Baim Wong has entered a new, more personal chapter. After a court decision that has acquired permanent legal force, Paula is reported to have taken an important administrative step by updating her KTP (Kartu Tanda Penduduk) marital status. This step is not merely fulfilling a legal obligation as a citizen, but a symbol of starting a new chapter in her life, which she terms as a ‘New Chapter’. The change of status from ‘Kawin’ (Married) to ‘Cerai Hidup’ (divorced) on the civil documents marks Paula’s legal independence. For Paula Verhoeven, managing changes to her KTP and Kartu Keluarga (KK) data is part of the process of healing and acceptance. In several posts on her social media, the mother of two is often sharing positive messages about inner strength and focusing on the happiness of her children, Kiano and Kenzo. The new status on her KTP also facilitates Paula in handling various business and professional affairs independently without needing her partner’s approval, as is common in Indonesian legal administration for those who are married. Under Indonesia’s population registration rules, every civil-status change must be reported to the Dinas Kependudukan dan Pencatatan Sipil (Disdukcapil) with copies of the court ruling and the divorce certificate to update data and other state documents. Paula’s decision to promptly settle these administrative affairs has received wide support from netizens. Many have praised Paula’s fortitude in facing the turmoil of her domestic life that had become a public spectacle for months. The term she has heralded, ‘New Chapter’, is regarded as an inspiration for many women to remain empowered even after the failure of a marriage. As of now, Paula Verhoeven has been seen more active again in the modelling world and attending various international fashion events. This proves that the new status on her KTP is merely a formality, while her personal qualities and career continue to shine in Indonesia’s entertainment industry. Although her marriage to Baim Wong has ended, they remain committed to maintaining good communication for the growth and development of their two sons. This change of status on her KTP marks a reset point for Paula to move further as a mother and a self-reliant career woman.
