Rumors that BLACKPINK singer Lisa Manoban, 29, and LVMH heir Frédéric Arnault, 31, have ended their relationship have gained traction following a recent feature in Vanity Fair. The magazine's cover story with Manoban, who also stars in HBO's "The White Lotus," suggested the couple "seem to have now called it quits." The publication reportedly informed interviewers that questions about Manoban's personal life and relationship were off-limits.
During the interview, Manoban became emotional when asked if she had ever been a "heartbreaker." She responded by stating, "I'm the one who got that a lot. I feel like I got heartbroken a lot," before becoming visibly choked up and unable to continue the sentence.
The couple, who reportedly began dating in 2022, had largely kept their relationship private. Their first and one of their few public appearances together was at a TAG Heuer and Formula 1 event in Miami in 2024. At the time, Arnault served as the CEO of LVMH Watches, which owns TAG Heuer. He has since moved to a new role as CEO of the Italian luxury fashion label Loro Piana.
Arnault is the son of Bernard Arnault, CEO of the LVMH conglomerate, which boasts a portfolio of luxury brands including Louis Vuitton and Fendi. Forbes estimates Bernard Arnault's net worth at approximately $200 billion.
Lisa Manoban, originally from Thailand, rose to international fame as a member of the South Korean girl group BLACKPINK. The group has achieved numerous chart records and holds the record for the highest-selling tour by a female group. Manoban also launched a successful solo career in 2021 with her singles "Lalisa" and "Money," both of which charted on Billboard's Hot 100. Her song "Money" also set a Guinness World Record in 2023 for being the first K-pop track by a solo artist to reach one billion streams on Spotify.
Manoban has been a prominent figure in the fashion industry, serving as the face for several LVMH brands, including Celine and Bulgari. Her acting debut occurred in 2023 with her role in "The White Lotus" season three, and she is slated to appear in the Netflix film "Tygo," a spin-off from the "Extraction" franchise.
