Photos circulating on social media show Lisa next to Frédéric, while Alexandre and his wife were seated across the table.

Social media commentary highlighted the singer’s close ties with the billionaire’s family and noted her increasing presence in France, including her recent agreement to model for GQ France’s cover.

Rumors of a special connection between Lisa and Frédéric have been circulating since he started following her on Instagram in 2022 and began liking her posts. Both parties have yet to comment on these rumors.

In recent years, Lisa has often been seen with Frédéric. This includes visits to Paris’ Rodin Museum in April this year and dining together the following month.

Born Pranpriya Manoban in Thailand, the 27-year-old singer joined Blackpink in 2016 and launched her solo career in 2021 with the album "Lalisa." Her track "Money" made her the first K-pop artist to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify.

Lisa has also established herself in the fashion industry, serving as a global ambassador for luxury brands such as Celine and Bulgari. She enjoys over 103 million followers on Instagram.

Frédéric, 29, is the CEO of the watch division at LVMH, overseeing brands like Hublot, TAG Heuer, and Zenith.

According to Forbes, as of June 24, Bernard Arnault and his family are the third wealthiest globally, with an estimated net worth of US$195.1 billion. Their wealth largely derives from their stakes in LVMH, which includes prominent brands like Christian Dior, Fendi, Loewe, Celine, and Bulgari.
