Jordan Barrett turned heads in the City of Light on Wednesday as he arrived at the Tom Ford show at Paris Fashion Week arm-in-arm with close friend Paris Jackson (both pictured)

SPOTTED: Jordan Barrett and Paris Jackson Sizzle on the Catwalk Together!

In a turn of events that has left fashion enthusiasts buzzing, Australian model Jordan Barrett was spotted strolling hand-in-hand with pop icon Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson, at the highly anticipated Tom Ford show during Paris Fashion Week. The dashing duo exuded undeniable chemistry as they posed for cameras, leaving fans wondering if this might be more than just a friendly outing.

Jordan, 28, looked every inch the debonair companion in his sharp grey houndstooth double-breasted suit, which accentuated his lean physique. Paired with classic black shoes and an intellectual touch courtesy of black-framed glasses, he was the epitome of effortless sophistication. Meanwhile, Paris, 27, commanded attention in a stunning floor-length black gown featuring a daring thigh-high slit that showcased her statuesque frame.

But what's really got everyone talking is the timing of their appearance together. Just last month, Paris called it quits with fiancé Justin Long after a whirlwind engagement, leaving many to wonder if she's already moved on. As for Jordan, he was married to fellow model Fernando Casablancas in 2021, but they split in 2022.

The sighting comes on the heels of Jordan's very public health scare two years ago when he stepped out at London Fashion Week looking gaunt and frail. He later revealed that he had been training for a marathon to raise funds for a charity dedicated to recovering missing children. In an Instagram post, he shared his passion project: "Countdown, Vienna marathon, 60 Days. This time I'll be running raising funds for LDA Les Disparus Anonymes." The organization helps find missing kids and provides support for those in danger.

Jordan's dedication to the cause is admirable, but it's clear that his modeling career has taken a backseat – at least temporarily. We can't help but wonder what led him down this path of running marathons, especially given his already grueling schedule as a model.

But we digress! Back to Jordan and Paris, who seem to be getting along famously. According to sources close to the two models, they've been friends for some time, but their relationship has reportedly grown closer in recent months.

For those who might not know, Jordan was scouted at just 13 years old while shopping with his family on the Gold Coast by industry veteran Kirk Blake from What Model Management in 2011. Talk about a wild ride! "I was stealing matches for cigarettes at the time," he revealed in an interview. Who knew that sneaky move would land him a modeling contract?

And speaking of high-profile relationships, Jordan's dating history is a veritable who's who of socialites, including Paris Hilton, Hailey Baldwin, Sofia Richie, Megan Blake Irwin, Lara Stone, and Sahara Ray.

With this latest sighting, we can't help but wonder if Jordan and Paris might be more than just friends. After all, their chemistry on the catwalk is undeniable! Stay tuned for further updates on these two stylish stars – it's only a matter of time before they walk the red carpet together.
