What has further fueled fans' curiosity is the conspicuous absence of any comment on the matter from Lisa's agency, YG Entertainment.

Just recently, on August 9, Lisa shared snapshots from her vacation on Instagram, capturing moments of her enjoying a swim amidst breathtaking scenery.

While such posts might usually raise no alarms, the astute eyes of netizens noticed resemblances between the images Lisa shared and those posted by Frédéric Arnault's sister-in-law, Géraldine Guyot-Arnault. This uncanny similarity has led many to speculate that Lisa might have been vacationing with Arnault's family.

While nothing has been confirmed or denied, many have likely wondered who exactly Frédéric Arnault is. 

Arnault is the son of Bernard Arnault, the founder, and CEO of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, a conglomerate specializing in luxury goods. The company controls subsidiaries that manage many brands, including CELINE, FENDI, and BVLGARI.

Born in 1995, he attended École Polytechnique and graduated with a computational and applied mathematics degree. In 1999, his father acquired TAG Heuer, a luxury watch company founded in 1860.

After working under the brand for a time, Frédéric was named CEO, making him one of the youngest CEOs of the company ever. Many have credited Frédéric for the renewed popularity of the brand, citing his choice to recruit Ryan Gosling as an ambassador in 2020.

According to his Instagram account, the CEO enjoys exploring locations while on vacation and playing tennis. He speaks at least four languages as well, an impressive feat!

While no one is certain whether or not he is more than just friends with Lisa, it won't be a surprise if the two extremely successful people like them would become close in the first place!
