6 minute readLisa has kept her love life fairly private since her debut with Blackpink, but fans suspected she was paying homage to her long-rumored French boyfriend Frédéric Arnault on Alter Ego’s single “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me).”
In this song, the K-pop star sang about “the green-eyed French boy who tripped me up.” She revealed in the song’s second verse that she never expected sparks to fly between them. “Actually, I wasn’t trying to meet anyone/Baby, I came to get my bag/But when I met you, I thought ‘I love you’/I didn’t mean to break it, baby, I fought back/But when I heard you say ‘Bonjour, Babe’/I thought ‘Fuck’.”
Arnault, the 31-year-old CEO of LVMH Watches, may fit the bill. After all, Lisa has been a representative of the LVMH brand for many years. In 2020, she was appointed as a Bvlgari ambassador. Interestingly, the first Instagram that Arnault liked of Lisa was a shot of her promoting Bvlgari.
Lisa herself has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors of dating Arnaud. When Billboard gave her a chance and asked her about the subject matter of “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me),” she quipped, “Well, I didn’t write that.”
Fan speculation about Lisa and Arnaud’s potential romance began in 2022. And on Valentine’s Day in 2025, Arnaud was seen cheering on Lisa at the premiere of The White Lotus in Thailand.
Back in June 2026, Vanity Fair noted speculation of their breakup in a cover story about the singer, although Lisa herself has not commented on their romance.
Here’s everything we know about the French businessman’s past with Lisa.
Lisa and Arnaud first sparked dating rumors in 2022.
In November 2022, Arnaud shared a photo with Lisa and Blackpink members Rosé, Jisoo, and Jennie. He revealed that he attended a show in Los Angeles. “The BlackPink concert in LA was a great night. Congratulations. See you again in Paris!!”
Fans noticed that he started following Lisa that year and started sending hearts to her posts in early June 2022. During their relationship, he frequently liked her Instagram.

Arnault supported Lisa at Coachella in 2023 and Global Citizen Festival in 2024.
Arnaud has been very supportive of Lisa’s work over the years. They were also spotted watching Lisa perform at Coachella in April 2023, and the two posed together at the Blackpink afterparty.
In September 2024, Lisa performed the Alter Ego track “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me)”, which is thought to be about Arnault, for the first time on stage at the Global Citizen Festival. He was in New York City with her, and the rumored couple was photographed having a meal together before her performance.
Arnaud attended the premiere of “The White Lotus” in Thailand on Valentine’s Day.
Arnaud made every effort to support Lisa, and it was no different on Valentine’s Day. The CEO was photographed arriving at the White Lotus Season 3 premiere in Bangkok, Thailand on February 14, 2025. Lisa posed alone on the red carpet.
They sparked breakup rumors in June 2026.
Vanity Fair’s June 2026 cover story about Lisa touched on speculation that she and Arnault had broken up privately. The newspaper wrote: “They now appear to have called it quits. Eagle-eyed fans noticed earlier this year that the heiress was absent from her birthday celebrations.”
Arnaud last liked Lisa’s Instagram on March 30, which included a photo of her on her birthday vacation in March.
The K-pop singer did not comment on his personal life, but spoke about being able to maintain privacy. “Since I came out and said I don’t have privacy, I feel like[fans]respect that more,” she said, adding that she loves meeting fans in public. “But they know it’s not easy to be in this position. Sometimes it’s a little too much, and sometimes you just want to be normal.”
In a video for Vanity Fair, she talked about heartbreak in general, saying, “No, I’ve never had a heartbreak before.” “I think I’ve been through a lot. I’ve had a lot of heart broken,” she said before getting emotional. “Yes, I’m sorry.”
Mr. Arnault is the son of billionaire Bernard Arnault, CEO of LVMH.
Frédéric is one of Bernard Arnault’s five children. According to Forbes, his father’s net worth is $187.6 billion.
Arnaud attended Ecole Polytechnique and previously worked at Facebook.
Arnault’s career did not begin with TAG Heuer. The entrepreneur has a business background and graduated from France’s Ecole Polytechnique in 2014 with a degree in computing and applied mathematics.
He worked at Facebook and McKinsey before joining TAG Heuer in 2017.
Arnault was appointed CEO of TAG Heuer in 2020.
He spoke to Arabian Watch & Jewelry about why he chose to join TAG Heuer over the LVMH brand. He started working at the watch company in 2017 under Stefan Bianchi.
“Tag Heuer was my first watch and it’s a brand I’ve always been familiar with,” he said. “I also love sports products and the world. This is also a project that represents my own energy. TAG Heuer is the key to the innovation that can be achieved with the brand. When I first saw the watch, I said to myself that this is something that should be developed further and that I joined the brand through its business unit. Then I fell in love with watches even more and am willing to invest my time and energy for the brand. I’ve been CEO for a year and a half, but I’ve been involved with the brand for almost three years before I became CEO. ”
Mr. Arnault was appointed CEO of Loro Piana in March 2025.
Loro Piana, LVMH’s “quiet luxury” brand, announced in March 2025 that Arnault will take over as CEO from Damien Bertrand, who will become Louis Vuitton’s deputy CEO and join LVMH’s executive committee in 2026. Mr. Arnault will officially take up his role in June 2025, following a transition period.
Arnaud and Lisa were also spotted together at a Bvlgari event. Later, he denied rumors that he would take over the brand.
On May 16, 2023, Bvlgari ambassador Lisa attended the Bvlgari Mediterranea High Jewelry event in Venice. Arnault was photographed sitting next to her and talking to her throughout the night.
In July 2023, he denied rumors of a move to Bulgari in an interview with Bloomberg. He hinted that his future includes work with other LVMH brands. “For now, I will remain with TAG Heuer,” he said. “Eventually I will grow into other brands within the group, perhaps other categories, and I am very interested in that as well. But for the time being I will remain at TAG Heuer and there are still many great projects to work on: big watches, new big boutiques, and important projects that I want to see and bring to market.”
He admitted that he attended the Bulgari event with Lisa that sparked the chat, saying, “Do you know where that came from? Because I went to the Bulgari event in Venice, and that’s where all the rumors came from. I always go to fashion shows! It’s been five years now. You know, why can’t I go to a high jewelry event, like Bulgari’s biggest event of the year?”
He was appointed CEO of LVMH Watches in 2024.
Arnault has been promoted and LVMH announced that he will oversee Hublot, TAG Heuer and Zenith as of January 1, 2024. Arnault will report directly to Stephane Bianchi, CEO of LVMH Watches and Jewelry.
Arnaud is a Scorpio.
Arnaud was born on November 7, 1995. In 2023, rumors of their relationship further increased when Lisa was spotted in Paris on his birthday.
Lisa herself is an Aries born on March 27, 1997.
The Astro Twins wrote in ELLE that the two zodiac signs have a “fierce physical attraction” to each other. “With Aries running the table and Scorpio manning the back of the room, combine your great talents and you can tap into a rich vein of wealth and thrive as a power duo,” they shared.
Although Arnault regularly liked Lisa’s Instagram, his own social media remains business-oriented.
Arnaud is able to keep his personal life private. Most of his Instagram posts focus on events for the LVMH watch brand. His interviews also focus solely on his work. In July 2022, Revolution Watch described Arnault as “relatively reserved and reserved…[he]prefers to let his actions and products speak for him.”
However, it’s no secret that he’s a huge fan of Lisa, as he was once spotted watching one of her Instagram stories on a now-inactive Lisa/Frederic fan account.
