What Triggered the Breakup Rumours?

The speculation reignited following Lisa’s interview with Vanity Fair, in which the publication explicitly noted that the pair appear to have called it quits. Fans also pointed out that Arnault was missing from her birthday celebrations earlier this year.

Rumours of trouble first emerged in March when Frédéric was noticeably absent from Lisa’s birthday party in Bali. For a couple who used to turn heads together at major brand events, that absence didn’t go unnoticed.

There’s also the matter of how protective Lisa’s team has become. Her publicist reportedly warned the interviewer multiple times not to bring up the subject of her private life during the Vanity Fair feature.

What Lisa Said About Privacy

Rather than addressing the romance directly, Lisa chose to speak about something deeper — the price of fame. She shared, “I feel like after I came out and talked about how there’s no privacy for me, fans now respect that a lot more. Sometimes it’s just a little too much, and sometimes I just want to be normal.”

It’s a sentiment anyone can relate to — especially someone whose every move is scrutinised globally. To know more about Lisa’s journey from Thailand to global stardom, check out her Wikipedia page.

What’s Next for Lisa?

Having recently wrapped up BLACKPINK’s Deadline world tour, Lisa is currently channelling her energy into expanding her independent company and dropping new music. She is also heavily focusing on her acting career, following her highly anticipated screen debut with The White Lotus in 2025.

Relationship or not, Lisa’s professional momentum is undeniable — and her fanbase isn’t going anywhere.
