On the 5th (local time), foreign media reported that Frederic Arnault was promoted to CEO of LVMH's watch division, which owns brands such as TAG Heuer, Hublot, and Zenith. Frederic Arnault is the fourth of Bernard Arnault’s five children and has served as CEO of the TAG Heuer brand since 2020 at the age of 25, having worked there since 2017. He is considered a strong candidate to succeed at LVMH. However, even after his promotion to CEO of the watch division, he must continue to report to St?phane Bianchi, CEO of the watch and jewelry division.

The eldest daughter and firstborn of the Arnault family, Delphine (48), has held the position of chairman and CEO of Christian Dior Couture, the group's second-largest fashion brand, since last year. The eldest son, Antoine (46), stepped down from managing the menswear brand Berluti earlier this year and has been involved in negotiating sponsorship contracts for the 2024 Paris Olympics. He is also the CEO of Christian Dior SE, LVMH’s holding company. The third child, Alexandre (31), works as vice president in charge of products and communications at the jewelry brand Tiffany, while the youngest son, Jean (25), is active as head of marketing and development in the watch division.

Dating rumors with Lisa since July last year

Since July last year, Frederic has been consistently linked romantically with Lisa, a member of the group BLACKPINK. In August, Lisa was spotted traveling with Frederic Arnault’s family, attracting significant attention. In November, they were also seen together at the UEFA Champions League match between Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle held at Parc des Princes in Paris, France.

Bernard Arnault, Frederic’s father, is ranked as the richest person in the world by Forbes in the United States. Despite the Arnault family’s reputation for being aloof, their love for K-pop stars is well known. An industry insider said, “Bernard Arnault’s grandchildren are enthusiastic fans of K-pop stars,” adding, “It is common for them to bring autographs from BTS and others when traveling to Europe.”
