Rumors surrounding Lisa of BLACKPINK and billionaire heir Frédéric Arnault’s alleged breakup have continued to dominate social media discussions in recent months.

On August 1, Chinese outlet Sohu published a report claiming that Lisa and Frédéric Arnault’s relationship did not end on good terms.
According to the report, the pair experienced a serious conflict in early January after Lisa allegedly discovered that Arnault had been flirting with another woman—a German influencer. The outlet claimed that the BLACKPINK star initially tried to salvage the relationship but eventually decided to walk away after realizing Arnault had no intention of reconciling, ultimately leaving France.
Report Claims Lisa Lost Support From Arnault Family
Sohu further alleged that Lisa not only suffered emotional heartbreak but also lost the support of Arnault’s influential family following the split.
The report claimed that several members of the billionaire family unfollowed Lisa on social media after learning about the breakup. It also alleged that Frédéric Arnault and his parents had distanced themselves from the singer, ending any support they may have provided for her activities in the European and American entertainment industries.
Neither Lisa, Frédéric Arnault, nor the Arnault family has commented on these claims.
£9 Million World Cup Performance Fee Sparks Online Debate
One of the most talked-about claims involves Lisa’s reported performance fee for the opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
According to The Sun, Lisa is expected to earn approximately £9 million for her appearance at the global sporting event. Some online commentators have controversially described the payment as “breakup compensation” from the billionaire heir following the alleged end of their relationship.
However, there is no evidence that the performance fee is connected to Arnault personally or that it was intended as any form of compensation. The characterization has largely circulated as speculation on social media rather than a confirmed fact.
Future Career in the West Under Scrutiny
Sohu also claimed that Lisa may face greater challenges expanding her career in Europe and the United States if she no longer has connections to the Arnault family.
According to the report, the singer is now focusing on building an image as an independent and mature woman following the alleged breakup while relying on professional relationships she established during her time in Europe to continue growing her international career.
These claims have not been independently verified.
Romance Rumors Began in 2023
Dating rumors between Lisa and Frédéric Arnault first emerged in July 2023 after they were filmed together at a restaurant in France. In the viral footage, Lisa appeared to rest her head on Arnault’s shoulder, fueling speculation that the two were romantically involved.
Over the following months, the pair were repeatedly spotted together in several countries, and reports claimed they had met each other’s families, prompting widespread speculation about a possible engagement.
Despite years of rumors, neither Lisa nor Frédéric Arnault ever publicly confirmed they were in a relationship.
Fans Point to Several “Breakup Clues”
For more than a year, Lisa and Arnault have not been photographed together publicly.
Fans also noticed that beginning in April, Arnault reportedly stopped liking Lisa’s social media posts. He was later seen attending an event with another woman, further fueling breakup speculation.
Adding to the rumors, internet users claimed that Arnault’s brother quietly unfollowed Lisa on social media.
On July 21, Lisa sparked even more discussion after fans noticed she had switched phone cases.
Previously, the singer had been using a MAISON de SABRÉ phone case customized with the initials “F.A.”, widely believed to represent Frédéric Arnault. She has since been seen carrying a new case featuring the initials “L.M.”, believed to stand for her full name, Lalisa Manobal.
Many fans interpreted the subtle change as a symbolic sign that she had moved on from the rumored relationship, although Lisa has not addressed the speculation.
New Dating Rumors With Thai Actor Blue Pongtiwat
Meanwhile, Lisa has recently become the subject of fresh dating rumors involving Thai actor Blue Pongtiwat.
Thai media outlet Thairath reported that Blue, who was born in 2000 and is three years younger than Lisa, has known the BLACKPINK member since 2016—before her official debut.
Chinese outlet 163 claimed that after nearly a decade of friendship, the pair may have developed a romantic relationship.
In recent weeks, Blue has reportedly been spotted dining and shopping with Lisa. On July 10, he was allegedly seen having dinner with Lisa’s parents and was also photographed shopping with her cousin.
These sightings have led some fans to speculate that their relationship has progressed beyond friendship. However, neither Lisa nor Blue Pongtiwat has responded to the dating rumors.
