BLACKPINK (블랙핑크) member Lisa (리사/ลิซ่า) has a busy year ahead, especially with the release of her first full-length solo album. However, the star recently shared photos from her free time in Thailand, including one that shows her wearing a “couple watch” with a mystery person.
The “Rockstar” singer recently shared photos from her Thailand trip on her Instagram account. Lisa returned to her home country during the New Year period for work and to celebrate the start of 2025 with her family. The idol enjoyed drinks and dessert at a restaurant overlooking the city. She also appeared to visit a Louis Vuitton store, posing with some pieces from the luxury brand.
However, the one photo that caught netizens’ attention was of Lisa showing off her “couple watch” with a mystery individual. The photo prompted speculations that the other person may have been Lisa’s unconfirmed boyfriend, Frédéric Arnault. The pair have been wrapped up in dating rumours for a while but never confirmed their relationship. The French businessman was also at the same New Year’s countdown event that Lisa attended in Bangkok.
Meanwhile, others say that the hand appeared too feminine to belong to a man, speculating that the individual wearing the same watch as Lisa was her mother, Chitthip Bruschweiler. A look at her Instagram account shows her spending time with her daughter in Bangkok, but there are no photos of them together from the occasion. Regardless, this has seemingly confirmed the suggestion that it was her in the photo.
While Lisa hasn’t directly confirmed her relationship with Frédéric, many fans have discovered that the two were together while in Thailand. The two reportedly visited a temple in Ayutthaya, the same temple where Lisa posed in her photos. In addition, some fans noted that Lisa was wearing items from Destree, a brand owned by Frédéric’s sister-in-law, designer Geraldine Guyot-Arnault.
It doesn’t seem that Lisa and Frédéric will confirm the dating rumours anytime soon, but fans love seeing their discreet interactions. What are your thoughts on this?
