Michelle Yeoh, the Oscar-winning actress, has ignited a flurry of speculation and excitement among fans after hinting at the rumored relationship between BLACKPINK's Lisa and Frédéric Arnault, the CEO of LVMH Watches. In a recent Instagram post, Yeoh shared a photo of herself with Arnault at a formal event in Paris, captioning it, "Hope to meet you soon, Lisa". This seemingly simple message has been widely interpreted as a public show of support for the rumored couple, sending social media into a frenzy.
The post quickly went viral, garnering millions of views and becoming a trending topic. Fans flooded the comments section, expressing their excitement and curiosity about Yeoh's subtle yet clear approval of the high-profile relationship. Some fans saw it as confirmation of the dating rumors that have been circulating since July 2023, when Lisa and Arnault were first spotted dining together in Paris.
Rumors of a romance between Lisa and Frédéric Arnault have been growing for quite some time. Although neither party has officially confirmed their relationship, they have been seen together on numerous occasions, including dining in Paris, attending events, and vacationing together. They have also been spotted wearing matching outfits and interacting with each other's families, further fueling the speculation.
Frédéric Arnault is the son of Bernard Arnault, the chairman and CEO of LVMH, the world's largest luxury goods conglomerate. Frédéric himself is a successful businessman, having served as the CEO of TAG Heuer from 2020 to 2024. In early 2024, he was appointed CEO of LVMH Watches and in June 2024, he became the Managing Director of Financière Agache. In March 2025, he was named the CEO of Italian luxury label Loro Piana. Beyond his business ventures, Arnault is known to be a skilled pianist.
Lisa, a member of the globally popular K-pop group BLACKPINK, has largely kept her personal life private. BLACKPINK is currently on their "Deadline" world tour. The group is scheduled to perform in Paris, which may provide an opportunity for Yeoh to finally meet Lisa, as she hinted in her Instagram post.
Michelle Yeoh's apparent support for the relationship has added fuel to the fire, with many fans now believing that an official announcement may be imminent. Yeoh's gesture is seen as a "blessing" from an entertainment legend to a rising icon.
While neither Lisa nor Frédéric Arnault has addressed the rumors directly, the numerous sightings and now Michelle Yeoh's subtle confirmation have led many to believe that they are indeed a couple. The relationship, if confirmed, would be one of K-pop's most high-profile pairings, uniting a global music superstar with a prominent figure from the world of luxury fashion.
