Social media is rife with unverified posts claiming that 28-year-old Jaden Smith is either dating or engaged to 82-year-old French fashion figure Michele Lamy. While initial reports suggested Smith had simply visited Lamy to seek her blessings, subsequent rumours claimed the two were engaged and that she had promised him 80 per cent of her real estate holdings, as per ABC 10 News. The viral posts have been given legs by photos that allegedly show the pair holding hands, sharing kisses, and taking close-up selfies.
One Instagram post specifically highlighted the unlikely pairing's 54-year age gap. However, as it turns out, the entire relationship story is an internet hoax, and there is no truth to the claims. Michele Lamy has long been married to fashion designer Rick Owens, and Jaden Smith has not confirmed any romantic involvement with her. Additionally, the viral photos and videos depicting them together or kissing are entirely fabricated and clearly AI-generated.
Who Is Michele Lamy?
Lamy is a fashion entrepreneur, artist, performer and creative collaborator. She is best known for her long-standing personal and professional partnership with American designer Rick Owens. She hired Owens in the 1990s to work on patterns for her fashion business. Their professional relationship eventually developed into a personal one, and the two married in 2006.
They co-founded Owenscorp, a business spanning clothing, furniture and creative projects. In April 2026, Lamy received a Lifetime Achievement Award in Fashion and Culture at the Fashion Trust US Awards.
