The K-pop superstar and "White Lotus" actress appeared to confirm a split from her billionaire boyfriend in a candid new interview, leaving fans speculating about the end of her high-profile romance with the LVMH heir.
BLACKPINK's Lisa has ignited a storm of breakup rumors following a revealing interview with Vanity Fair, where she became emotional while discussing heartbreak . The global superstar, who has largely kept her personal life private, addressed the topic of being a "heartbreaker" and instead shared her own painful experiences. When asked the question during a lie detector segment, Lisa responded, "No. I'm the one who got that a lot. I feel like I got heartbroken a lot," a response that left her visibly choked up and prompted the interviewer to change the subject .
This candid moment has led to widespread speculation that the 29-year-old singer has parted ways with Frédéric Arnault, the 31-year-old French businessman and son of LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault . The couple were first linked in 2023 and were seen together on several occasions, though they never publicly confirmed their relationship .
In its recent cover story, Vanity Fair addressed the status of their rumored romance, writing that the pair "seem to have now called it quits" . The magazine also noted that Lisa's publicist had advised the reporter multiple times not to ask about her personal life, indicating the singer's continued desire for privacy regarding her romantic affairs .
A Missing Presence at Birthday Celebrations
Speculation about a possible split has been building since March, when Arnault was notably absent from Lisa's birthday celebrations in Bali . The absence of the LVMH heir from the festivities, along with a lack of recent public sightings, has fueled online discussions among fans and media outlets alike . Further fueling the speculation, reports have emerged that Arnault has since been rumored to be dating American model Marissa Long .
Lisa's Career and Personal Growth
Despite the ongoing attention to her personal life, Lisa continues to expand her professional horizons. The singer recently made her acting debut in the third season of HBO's The White Lotus, marking a significant milestone in her career beyond music . She has also launched her own management company, LLOUD, and released her debut solo album, Alter Ego .
Addressing the Pressures of Fame
During the same Vanity Fair interview, Lisa also addressed the intense scrutiny of her personal life, revealing that she has dealt with the challenges of fame, including encounters with overly intrusive fans . She shared her appreciation for her fans' support while admitting that living under constant observation can be overwhelming at times. "Sometimes it's just a little too much, and sometimes I just want to be normal," she said . She noted that fans have become more respectful of her privacy since she spoke publicly about having no personal space, a statement that suggests a growing awareness of her boundaries .
No Official Confirmation from Either Party
As of now, neither Lisa nor Frédéric Arnault has publicly confirmed or denied their relationship status or the rumors of a breakup . While the Vanity Fair article has been interpreted as a confirmation of a split, the lack of an official statement from either camp means the exact nature of their relationship remains a subject of speculation. For fans and followers of the K-pop star, the only certainty remains her continued success in music, fashion, and now acting, as she navigates the complex balance between global stardom and personal privacy .
