As noted by The Times of India, the couple was recently seen "packing on the PDA at the airport" and having dinner in Mexico City. However, neither of them has made an official statement yet, as Baillères also likes his privacy. He stays away from social media and prefers to be known as a tech inventor rather than a famous socialite.
