Lisa has kept her love life pretty private since debuting in Blackpink, but fans suspected she may have given longtime rumored French boyfriend Frédéric Arnault a nod in her Alter Ego single “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me)”.
In the track, the K-pop star sang about a “green-eyed French boy [who] got me trippin’.” She revealed she didn’t expect sparks to fly between them in the song’s second verse: “Truth is, I wasn’t tryna meet nobody / Baby, I was there to get my bag / But when I saw you I was like, ‘I like that’ / Wasn’t tryna break, baby, I fought back / But when I heard you say, ‘Bonjour, bébé’ / I was like, ‘Damn.’”
Arnault, the 29-year-old CEO of LVMH Watches, might just fit the bill. After all, Lisa has been representing LVMH brands for years. In 2020, she was named Bulgari’s ambassador. Interestingly, the first Instagram of Lisa’s that Arnault liked is a shot of her promoting Bulgari.
Lisa hasn’t confirmed or denied the Arnault dating rumors herself. When Billboard gave her a chance to and asked about the subject of “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me),” she quipped, “Well, I didn’t write that.”
Fan speculation about Lisa and Arnault’s potential romance began in 2022. And on Valentine’s Day 2025, Arnault was seen supporting Lisa at the premiere of The White Lotus in Thailand.
Here’s all we know about the French businessman and his history with Lisa.
Lisa and Arnault first sparked dating rumors in 2022.
In November 2022, Arnault shared a photo with Lisa and her fellow Blackpink members, Rosé, Jisoo, and Jennie. He revealed he attended their Los Angeles show. “What an amazing evening for the BlackPink concert in LA. Congratulations and see you soon in Paris !!”
Fans noticed he started following Lisa that year and started hearting posts in early June 2022. To this day, he frequently likes her Instagrams.

In late January 2024, Lisa and Arnault were seen together in Paris. That year, the pair was also spotted in Hawaii, Japan, Miami, and Paris among other places.
They posed together at the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Kith launch in Miami on May 3, 2024:

Arnault has been very supportive of Lisa’s work for years. He was seen watching Lisa perform at Coachella in April 2023. The two also posed together at Blackpink’s after-party.
In September 2024, Lisa debuted “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me),” the Alter Ego track believed to be about Arnault, onstage at the Global Citizen Festival. He was in New York City with her, with the rumored couple being photographed eating together before her performance.
Arnault attended the Thailand premiere of The White Lotus on Valentine‘s Day.
Arnault went to great lengths to support Lisa—and on Valentine’s Day, no less. The CEO was filmed arriving at the Bangkok, Thailand premiere of The White Lotus season 3 on Feb. 14, 2025. Lisa posed by herself on the red carpet.
Arnault is the son of billionaire Bernard Arnault, who is the CEO of LVMH.
Frédéric is one of Bernard Arnault’s five children. His father has a net worth of $187.6 billion, according to Forbes.
Arnault attended École Polytechnique and previously worked at Facebook.
Arnault’s career didn’t just start at TAG Heuer. The entrepreneur has a business background, having graduated from France’s École Polytechnique in 2014 with a degree in computational and applied mathematics.
He worked at Facebook and McKinsey prior to joining TAG Heuer in 2017.
Arnault became the CEO of TAG Heuer in 2020.
He spoke to Arabian Watches & Jewellery magazine about why he chose to join TAG Heuer of all the LVMH brands. He began working at the watch company in 2017 under Stephane Bianchi.
“TAG Heuer was my first watch, it’s a brand I have always been close to,” he said. “I love the product and world of sports as well. It is also a project that symbolizes the energy of my own self. TAG Heuer is the key to innovation that can be achieved in the brand. When I first saw the watch I told myself this is something to be developed further and I joined the brand through this business unit. Then I fell in even more love with the watches, and I have the will to invest time and energy for the brand. I’m the CEO for one and half year but I’m with the brand for almost three years before I became the CEO.”
Arnault and Lisa were seen together at a Bulgari event. He later shut down rumors he was going to take over the brand.
On May 16, 2023, Bulgari ambassador Lisa attended the Bulgari Mediterranea High Jewelry event in Venice. Arnault was filmed sitting next to and talking with her throughout the night.
In July 2023, he shut down rumors he was moving to Bulgari in an interview with Bloomberg. He hinted that his future will include work at other LVMH brands. “For now I’m staying at TAG Heuer,” he stated. “I will eventually grow in other brands in the group, probably other categories as well, which I’m also very interested in. But for the time being, I’m staying at TAG Heuer, and there’s still many amazing projects, too: to work on the big watches, big new boutiques and some key projects that I want to see and bring to the market.”
He acknowledged his presence with Lisa at the Bulgari event sparking the chatter: “You know where it came from? Because I went to Bulgari event in Venice and from there all the rumors came. I always go to fashion shows! For five years now. There you go. Why can’t I go to a high jewelry event, which is like the event of the year for Bulgari?”
He was appointed the CEO of LVMH Watches in 2024.
Arnault got a promotion, with LVMH announcing he would be overseeing Hublot, TAG Heuer, and Zenith on Jan. 1, 2024. Arnault reports to Stéphane Bianchi, CEO of LVMH Watches & Jewelry Division.
Arnault is a Scorpio.
Arnault was born on Nov. 7, 1995. In 2023, Lisa further fueled dating rumors between them when she was seen in Paris during his birthday.
Lisa herself is an Aries, born on March 27, 1997.
The Astro Twins wrote in ELLE that the two signs have a “fierce physical attraction” to each other. “Put your considerable talents together with Aries running the table and Scorpio handling the back of the room, and you can tap into a rich vein of wealth and thrive as a power duo,” they shared.
While Arnault regularly likes Lisa’s Instagrams, he keeps his own social media business-oriented.
Arnault is able to keep his private life private. Most of his Instagram posts are focused on events for his LVMH watch brands. His interviews are also just focused on his work. In July 2022, Revolution Watch described Arnault as “relatively self-effacing and understated… [He] prefers to let his actions and products speak for him.”
However, a Lisa/Frédéric fan account (yes, they exist) caught him watching one of its Instagram Stories once, so at the very least, it’s no secret he’s a big Lisa fan.
