Stephania first met Jacobus, Prince of Youth in 1978, during primary school, where classmates stated that the two quickly became friends and were soon inseparable. According to courtiers, Stephania's father was displeased by this development. According to a former colleague at Pinarius' former law firm, "he doesn't want his daughter around [Prince Jacobus];" her father never publicly confirmed this, and later in 1987 had said that "[Prince Jacobus] is like a son to me".

Her first public appearance with Jacobus was in 1979 where she accompanied him to Ludi Circenses. She was later invited to attend the state dinner for the royal visit of John VII of Garza in November 1979. The press reported that Stephania was courting Prince Jacobus from 1979 until 1981, though Imperial Offices never confirmed the reports. Those close to Stephania claim that her relationship with Prince Jacobus ended abruptly in fall 1981 after each he began his education at Academia Militaris Olympia. Stephania had a brief, public courtship with [TBD] in 1982.

In 1985, the Latin Imperial Family officially announced a courtship between Prince Jacobus and Stephania. The pair reconnected in 1985 at the Transvectio Equitum festival.
