BLACKPINK’s Jennie sparked a wave of speculation after a viral clip showed her leaving Lisa’s Coachella 2025 performance without acknowledging Frédéric Arnault, the luxury heir rumored to be dating Lisa. The moment, captured during the festival’s second weekend, has divided fans over whether Jennie’s actions hinted at tension or were simply a coincidence.
Viral Clip Fuels Debate
On April 18, Lisa delivered a high-energy solo set at Coachella’s Sahara Stage, with Jennie and Arnault both spotted in the audience. While Jennie danced along to Lisa’s performance, footage showed her exiting abruptly near the end, walking past Arnault without a glance or greeting. Social media erupted with theories, from claims of a deliberate snub to defenses that Jennie was avoiding unnecessary attention .
“He was waiting for Jennie to greet him but she ignored him LOL,” one fan tweeted. Others argued Arnault might have expected acknowledgment, with a supporter adding, “Boy, you are nobody” .

Arnault, CEO of LVMH Watches and son of billionaire Bernard Arnault, has been linked to Lisa since 2022. Fans cite their joint appearances—from Coachella 2023 to the White Lotus premiere in Thailand—and lyrics in Lisa’s song Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me)referencing a “green-eyed French boy” as clues . Earlier this month, Lisa’s phone lock screen, briefly visible during Coachella, allegedly featured Arnault’s photo, further fueling rumors .
Some fans believe Jennie’s exit was strategic to avoid media frenzy, while others speculate about friction. “Jennie was polite not to intrude on Lisa’s rumored relationship,” one netizen wrote. Contrasting views note Arnault’s supportive presence, with fans praising his low-key attendance at Lisa’s shows .
Jennie’s absence from Lisa’s Week 1 Coachella set had already raised questions about their bond. Though both stars continue solo success, their off-stage interactions remain under scrutiny. The group’s fans, known as BLINKs, are closely analyzing every detail, from shared events to social media activity .
