Jaden Smith has found himself at the centre of an unlikely celebrity romance rumour after viral social media posts claimed he was dating French fashion figure Michèle Lamy, 82.
The speculation spread across X on November 9 and 10, with posts alleging that Smith, 28, had developed romantic feelings for Lamy following an alleged visit to her home. Some accounts went considerably further, claiming the pair were engaged and that Lamy had promised to hand over a substantial share of her property portfolio.
There is, however, no evidence to support any of it. A fact-check published on Tuesday found no indication that the pair were romantically involved or had announced an engagement. Several of the images circulating alongside the claims have also been questioned, with social media users suggesting they may have been generated using artificial intelligence.
Lamy is a well-known figure in the fashion world, recognised for her creative collaborations and long-standing partnership with designer Rick Owens. The couple married in 2006 and have spent years working together across fashion, art and design.
Smith, meanwhile, is the son of Hollywood stars Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. The 28-year-old has built his own career as an actor and musician, while also working as creative director for luxury footwear label Christian Louboutin.
Neither Smith nor Lamy has publicly addressed the rumours. For now, the supposed romance, engagement and property deal remain firmly in the territory of internet fiction.
