She wanted to stay single for a bit, but unfortunately, fate had other plans for her. In March 2019, Bellucci made her first public appearance with a dapper gentleman during a Chanel show at the Grand Palais.

Lefebvre studied art history at the prestigious École du Louvre, the institute for higher studies of art. In his interview for The Socialite Family website. He credited his parents for instilling the love of art in him. His parents took him all around the world from a young age.
