Claims linking American actor and musician Jaden Smith romantically to French fashion figure Michèle Lamy have gone viral on social media, despite a lack of evidence supporting the alleged relationship.
The rumours, which spread across X on November 9 and 10, claimed that Smith, 28, had developed romantic feelings for Lamy, 82, following an alleged visit to her home.
Some posts went further, alleging that the pair had announced an engagement and that Lamy had promised to give Smith a large share of her properties.

However, a fact-check published on Tuesday found no evidence that the pair were dating or had announced an engagement.
The circulating images have also attracted questions from social media users, with several suggesting that they were generated using artificial intelligence.
Lamy is a French fashion entrepreneur and creative collaborator who is married to designer Rick Owens. The couple married in 2006 and have worked together for years.
Smith, the son of Hollywood actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, is an actor, musician and creative director for luxury fashion brand Christian Louboutin.
Neither Smith nor Lamy has publicly confirmed the claims.
